Inflows Signal Trouble Ahead. Here's where things get murky. Inflows—tokens moving onto exchanges—started ticking up.

LUNC jumped 22% over recent sessions. The move caught attention.
4 / 15
Open interest climbed alongside the price spike, meaning more traders opened positions—both long and short—on the token.

The token's now sitting near a big resistance level. That's the price zone where sellers have shown up before, where rallies stalled out.

Leverage ratios went up as LUNC climbed. More traders borrowed funds to amplify their bets, hoping to multiply gains on the way up. That works great in a rally.

The surge in trading volume wasn't just retail either. Bigger players moved in, per the open interest data.

So far, the rally held. But the leverage buildup is a red flag for anyone watching closely. It's not a guarantee of a crash, but it's definitely a warning sign.

The timing matters here. Inflows didn't spike all at once—they've been building gradually as LUNC approached resistance.

The resistance level ahead isn't arbitrary. It's where LUNC got rejected multiple times in recent months.
15 / 15
If LUNC pushes through, the next leg up could be big. Breakouts from resistance often trigger short squeezes, especially when open interest is elevated.
