<p>WOO trading above its 50-day Moving Average signals strong bullish momentum, while an RSI above 76 indicates it’s entering overbought territory. This suggests potential for further gains but also raises the likelihood of a short-term pullback or consolidation as traders may start to take profits.</p>

<p>The critical liquidation thresholds for WOO are currently set at $0.2074 and $0.2143, with high leverage observed among intraday traders, according to CoinGlass. A drop to $0.2074 could trigger $358K in long liquidations, while a rise to $0.2143 might liquidate $168.92K in short positions.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>At press time, data showed that bears dominated the market, increasing the likelihood of long position liquidations at lower price levels.</p> 
<p>Further, WOO’s funding rate has dropped from 0.0055% to -0.0433%, suggesting a shift in sentiment to the bearish side. However, if the price continues to climb, it could trigger a <a href="https://crypto.news/analysts-consider-possible-short-squeeze-ahead-of-spot-ethereum-etf-deadline/" target="_blank">short squeeze</a>, pushing short sellers to cover their positions and possibly driving higher prices.</p> 
<p>Amid the hype surrounding WOO among Korean traders, an X user <a href="https://x.com/_EricChartman/status/1841009131202752968" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">questioned </a>WOO X’s transparency principles, accusing it of pressuring exchanges to disable the sell button for WOO tokens. The user called the move “shady,” suggesting that despite WOO’s claims of openness, the community had noticed this questionable action.</p>
