OCEAN recently showed an interesting performance. Within 24 hours, it surged by 18.94% to 0.707 USDT, a significant increase at first glance, but when looking at the trading volume—65.84M USDT—it is only about 50% higher than the recent average. This is quite awkward: the price jumps up, but the volume can't keep up, a typical pattern of rising prices with shrinking volume.



Why is this worth caution? From two perspectives: one possibility is that the market lacks follow-through, with major players using relatively small funds to push the price up in low-liquidity areas, and no one willing to buy afterward, which is a trap for false signals; the other possibility is that holders are reluctant to sell, with their positions locked. But considering that this 19% increase was achieved with limited volume, the first risk actually warrants more attention.

From a technical standpoint, the key levels are: support at 0.6421 (the previous high broken yesterday) and 0.5985 (the 38.2% Fibonacci level), with resistance above at 0.7480 (a zone of dense previous trading) and 0.8120 (around the yearly moving average). Currently, the price is approaching the resistance zone, and chasing higher now carries a high risk.

A more prudent approach is to wait until it retraces to the 0.6421-0.5985 range, observe whether the volume weakens simultaneously to confirm the support's validity, and then consider entering gradually. If in the next 1-2 trading days the price cannot hold above 0.7480 and volume remains this low, the probability of a pullback will significantly increase. Major players raising prices in such a low-volume environment are often paving the way for subsequent distribution.

I've seen the pattern of price rising and volume shrinking many times before, it's just the main players inducing more buying again, really getting tired of it.

With such weak volume, still daring to rise 18%, I know the main force's tactics too well... The smell of a trap is a bit strong.

With such weak volume, no matter how hard it rises, it's all in vain --- It's the same old trick, the price skyrockets, but the trading volume is just sleeping there --- Hey, I just want to ask, will this wave drop straight back below 0.6 --- The main force has played this trick too many times, still trying to fool people into buying in? --- Wait until 0.65, then see. If you go in now, you're just catching a falling knife --- Volume shrinks, limit up, classic trap to lure buyers, I bet it will pull back --- The resistance at the yearly moving average feels like it's going to be hit with a big punch

Price increases, volume decreases. Isn't this the main force testing the market depth? It's really a bit dangerous.

Price rises but volume shrinks, I've seen this trick many times before. The main players are playing with fire. It's either a false rally or locking in chips. Anyway, just don't chase the high. If 0.7480 can't hold, be prepared to run. Wait for a pullback to decide, what's the rush? This wave of volume is too weak, the risk is significant.

With such weak volume, still daring to push so aggressively, it indeed looks like a path to unload the inventory.

The old trick of rising prices with shrinking volume again, the main force is pushing up in weak areas, and the smell of a trap to lure more buyers is a bit strong.
