🚀 $TUT just did +300% in a day. Let’s break down who actually pulled it off
How the coin got swung up to $0.33 and thrown right back to $0.15 in a day
Let’s break down the anatomy of this move, because it’s a lesson. In 24h TUT shot from pennies to $0.33 at the peak of the Binance perp and has already pulled back into the $0.15 area. Here’s what actually happened.
🔥 The fuel is other people’s shorts
The whole run is built on wiping out shorts. Over 24h roughly $42M of shorts got liquidated versus just $2M of longs, so about 21x more shorts were burned.
Every force closed short is a forced buy that lifts price higher, and on a thin market the candle flies all the way to $0.33.
📉 Why the pullback
After a blow off like that, a sharp pullback followed, down 20–25% from the peak, back to $0.15. That’s normal parabola breathing, not a reversal.
Open interest is still high, the fee to hold longs is still positive, and shorts are still getting burned. So the squeeze is still alive, the top is not confirmed.
⚠️ Where the trap is
This is exactly the kind of vertical candle that catches beginners. Buy at $0.30, and an hour later you’re down 25%. Short the highs, and you get wiped at $0.33.
The pool holds only about $7M in liquidity, so the price gets tossed both ways like a twig.
I’ll call a real reversal on two signals: the fee on longs flips negative, and longs start dominating the liquidations.
Until that shows up, this is still an overheated squeeze, not the finale.
Be extremely careful in both directions. 🤝
