What does the Filecoin data show?
1. MACD turned bearish
MACD flipped bearish: the fast average of price pulled below the slow one, which is the earliest of the trend signals we track and the noisiest. Market structure is still making lower highs and lower lows. The most recent daily candle pattern is three black crows. RSI (14) is 41.4.
2. The whale book is crowded short
44% of active large-wallet money on Filecoin is positioned short right now: $563 K long against $715 K short, spread over 39 wallets on Hyperliquid. A one-sided short book presses on price, but it is also the raw material for a squeeze: shorts must buy to close, and they all buy at once. These are open positions read from the chain, not opinions, and they change daily.
3. Leverage is paying up to stay positioned
Perpetual funding runs at 32.57% annualised, so shorts are paying longs to keep their positions open. Funding is a crowding tax: the more one-sided the book, the more it costs to stay on that side, and the more likely the weakest hands there get squeezed out. Open interest stands at $2.0 M — that is the size of the leveraged book that has to be closed eventually.
