What does the Alibaba data show?
1. Large wallets are fading the rally
40% of active large-wallet money on Alibaba is positioned short right now: $1.2 M long against $1.8 M short, spread over 33 wallets on Hyperliquid. Price has risen 17.89% over the period and large wallets have not chased it. A net-short book into strength is the distribution shape: someone is selling into the bid. These are open positions read from the chain, not opinions, and they change daily.
2. Trading volume spiked to 3.1× the monthly norm
Turnover reached $5.7 M in a single day, about 3.1× the median of the previous month, while price moved +0.58%. Volume does not tell you direction, but it tells you conviction: moves made on thin volume are much easier to reverse than moves the whole market participated in.
3. Momentum pushed RSI into oversold
RSI (14) reads 72.7, below the 30 line that marks oversold. That is a statement about speed, not value — an extreme reading says the last two weeks moved fast in one direction, and fast moves tend to pause before they resolve.
