$$TLM Last night I bought the dip at 0.0015 while the current price is 0.0022. A 29% gain is basically not impressive. This round of liquidation and chasing FOMO retail traders is a technique I’m way too familiar with.

Current market sentiment indicators: TLM Fear & Greed Index is 22 (extreme fear), and the funding rate is -0.03%. Historical extreme comparison: last time this level appeared was in October 2023—after that, within a week TLM surged from 0.0012 to 0.0038. Now it’s the exact same script: 24h trading volume is $260 million, 6 times the average of the past 30 days, yet the price pulled back 18% from the day’s high of 0.0027. Who’s selling? It’s just retail panic selling. A negative funding rate means the cost of shorting is spiking—leveraged shorts could get squeezed at any moment.

Two turning-point signals: 1) When the price breaks below 0.0017, the Fear & Greed Index will jump above 10, and the funding rate will be -0.05% or lower—this is a strong bottom signal. 2) If the current price of 0.0022 holds above the 24h average volume line, then the shorts’ stampede pushing through 0.0027 is only a matter of time. Set the stop-loss below 0.0017. Take-profit: first target 0.0032, second target 0.004. Position size: 30%. Don’t blindly rush—wait for the pullback to 0.002 and buy again more safely.

A sentiment turning point = the best entry. I watch the funding rate for swing trades every day. My face isn’t shown, but the signals are accurate. Are you betting on TLM to squeeze shorts, or will retail keep cutting losses? Vote in the comments.
