Is Lighter (LIT) About to Take a Nose Dive? The Shocking Truth Revealed!

by

Well, well, well! Just when you thought Lighter (LIT) was ready to soar into the stratosphere like a rocket powered by optimism and maybe a little caffeine, it pulled a classic move straight out of the drama playbook. After a dazzling debut that saw it break out of an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern and shoot up nearly 21%-peaking at a tantalizing $3.26-it seems our dear friend LIT is now experiencing what we in the business call a cooling-off period. 🤔

Now, if you think a breakout is all about confetti and celebrations, hold your horses! What really matters is what happens next. And the signals are flashing like a disco ball at a 70s party-this might not be smooth sailing after all.

Lighter Price Forms A Fresh Head And Shoulders Pattern

After hitting that sweet $3.26 mark, our friend LIT decided to take a breather. On the 4-hour chart, which I’m sure you all love to stare at with bated breath, it’s starting to look like a head and shoulders pattern is forming-cue the dramatic music! 🎶

The head is practically a celebrity at $3.26, just hanging out as the right shoulder starts to form below that level, clearly showing it’s not feeling quite as strong. This setup often whispers sweet nothings about downside risks if support decides to take a vacation.

The neckline is lounging around $2.56. If LIT dares to slip below that line, we might just see this party turn into a funeral. 💀

Should that happen, we’re looking at an 11% decline. But hang on tight, because for that drop to kick off, LIT first needs to plummet by 15% from its current perch of around $3.01. Buckle up! 🎢

Capital Flow And Dip Buying Begin To Weaken

Let’s talk money flow! Because what could be more exhilarating than tracking capital? Chaikin Money Flow, which sounds like something you’d order at a fancy café, has been positive between January 6 and January 8, even while prices were doing the limbo downwards. Buyers are still trying to absorb the sell pressure, bless their hearts!

But wait! That support is starting to fade faster than my enthusiasm for Monday mornings. On the 4-hour chart, CMF has rolled over and is inching lower, though it’s still flirting with zero. This shift hints that inflows are slowing down, much like my motivation to hit the gym in January. 📉

The lack of aggressive positioning by mega whales (yes, the top 100 addresses that seem to have more money than sense) in the past 24 hours adds to the tension. To avoid the dreaded price dip theory, these whales need to start buying like it’s Black Friday! 🐋

Dip buying data is adding to the cautionary tales. The Money Flow Index has plummeted sharply between January 6 and January 9. While prices may have been declining gently, the MFI has been crashing down like my New Year’s resolutions. Traders are stepping back instead of defending those precious levels. 😬

Together, our weakening CMF and falling MFI suggest capital inflows and buying interest are losing momentum faster than a balloon losing air. 🎈

Derivatives Positioning And Key Lighter Price Levels To Watch Next

The perpetual positioning of Lighter is leaning net short across most cohorts-what a surprise! Even the net positive (long) positioning of the perp winners has seen an over 8% decrease. So, if you thought there was a hint of upside bias, think again!

Now, let’s talk numbers. Holding above $2.97 would keep the right shoulder from collapsing in on itself like a poorly made soufflé. A drop below $2.78? Well, that would place the structure under serious pressure. And if it dips under $2.56, we might as well start arranging the flowers for the bearish funeral at the $2.30 zone-the launch low. 🌸

There’s also a glimmer of hope-a clear invalidation level. A strong 4-hour close above $3.26 would cancel the head and shoulders pattern. This could lead to a probable short-squeeze, courtesy of the sizeable short positioning. Talk about a plot twist! 😲

For now, Lighter is teetering at a critical turning point. The earlier 21% breakout has already played out like a season finale. Without fresh capital inflows and stronger dip buying, we’re left to ponder whether a controlled cooldown is looming on the horizon or if the party is about to get wild. Stay tuned! 🎉
