What does the Rocket Lab data show?
1. The whale book is crowded short
41% of active large-wallet money on Rocket Lab is positioned short right now: $1.0 M long against $1.5 M short, spread over 34 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.
2. Rocket Lab is closing in on its 83-day low
Rocket Lab sits 1.04% from the lowest daily close of the last 83 days. Edges of a range matter because that is where resting orders cluster: a daily close through the level converts it from resistance into support (or the reverse), while a rejection there usually sends price back toward the middle of the range.
3. Momentum pushed RSI into overbought
RSI (14) reads 27.1, above the 70 line that marks overbought. 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.
