$ASTER has rebounded approximately 8.7% from the lows, but on-chain data shows that whale and professional trader shorting activity is quite evident—frequent short positions with 25x and 50x leverage. Interestingly, according to the cumulative volume delta (CVD) indicator, institutions continue to sell at new lows, while retail buyers' involvement is relatively small, lacking strong support. This suggests that the current rebound may only be a short-term correction, and the true bottom signal has not yet appeared. Market participants need to wait for more confirmation.

Institutions are dumping, whales are shorting so aggressively, and you're excited about an 8.7% rebound? Wake up, everyone. --- CVD shows all the sell-offs; this rebound is just a trick to fool retail investors. The real bottom is still far away. --- With 25x and 50x leverage short positions piled up so thick, I wonder who dares to catch the bottom. --- Retail investors are not taking the bait; this game is over. Let's wait and see. --- Another fake rebound, just the old trick. --- Institutions are dumping, whales are shorting, and I just watch the show quietly.

Whales are dumping again, this rebound looks fragile Institutions continue to sell off, and we're still buying? Overthinking it Wait for the bottom signal, don't be fooled by 8.7% With 25x leverage on shorts, it's so aggressive, I prefer to wait and see Retail buying power is so weak, it's time to get out

Excited about a 8.7% rebound? Whales are dumping... This rebound is purely a bait. Institutions sell, retail buy in, this script is old. The bottom hasn't been reached yet. CVD is like this, how can anyone still dare to chase high? Let's wait and see.

Whales are dumping, retail is sending money, this rebound is probably a bear trap.

Excited after a 8.7% rebound? Look at the on-chain data—whales have been lurking for a while. What are you still waiting for? Machine: Institutions are selling off, retail investors, what are you buying? This rhythm doesn't add up... Wait, if we look at CVD this way, the bottom indeed hasn't been reached. Definitely not getting on the train. Whale shorts are so fierce, I think I'll just lie low and observe. The real bottom hasn't shown up yet. Don't be fooled by the rebound, everyone.
