WLFI Whales Pump $7M While Retail Pulls Back – Is $0.18 the Last Support

On-chain data shows that whales continue to accumulate WLFI even as the token declines. Over the past 24 hours, whale balances increased by 43.42%, climbing from 79.01 million WLFI to 113.31 million WLFI. This surge adds about 34.30 million tokens, worth nearly $7.2 million at current prices.

The increase explains why the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), a key measure of capital inflows, remains positive at +0.13. As long as CMF stays above zero, it signals that large investors continue to send capital into WLFI despite broader selling pressure.

Dip Buying Slows Among Retail Traders

While whales continue to accumulate WLFI, smaller traders are showing less interest in buying dips. The Money Flow Index (MFI 14) has fallen to 32.79 on the two-hour chart, moving steadily lower in recent sessions.

The MFI reading near 30 signals weakening retail participation, as buying volume relative to price has thinned out. This decline reflects hesitation among smaller holders, even as whales maintain inflows.

The divergence highlights a growing imbalance. Whales are driving most of the accumulation, but the absence of retail support weakens short-term rebound potential. Momentum, therefore, leans heavily toward large investors, leaving any recovery dependent on whether retail flows return at key support levels.

Liquidation Maps Highlight Key Support

Liquidation data also points to critical levels. Most long positions have already been liquidated during WLFI’s decline, with only about $4 million in long liquidations left. By contrast, short positions now exceed $30 million, showing a market heavily tilted toward bearish bets.

The final long liquidation cluster sits near $0.18. This zone aligns with chart-based support, making it a crucial level to watch. If WLFI approaches $0.18, heavy buying could emerge, potentially triggering a rebound powered by short liquidations.

The combination of whale accumulation, declining retail dip-buying, and concentrated short pressure sets up a pivotal moment for WLFI. On-chain flows suggest large holders remain confident, but the next test will come if prices push toward the $0.18 support zone.

WLFI Holds Above $0.22 as RSI Turns Neutral-Bullish

On September 9, 2025, WLFI/USDT traded near $0.2200 on Binance after rebounding from a recent dip. The hourly chart shows the token climbing above the 50-period EMA at $0.2135, signaling renewed short-term support.

Trading volume reached 11.41 million WLFI, with price action consolidating after recovering from lows near $0.20 earlier in the week. The candle structure shows steady accumulation, as buyers defended key support zones and pushed WLFI back toward the $0.22 mark.

Momentum indicators confirm this shift. The Relative Strength Index (RSI 14) currently sits at 60.47, rising from earlier levels near 40. This move places RSI just above the neutral line, pointing to early bullish momentum without yet entering overbought territory.

If maintains its footing above the EMA, the token could test resistance near $0.23. However, a drop back below $0.2135 would weaken the setup and risk another pullback toward $0.20.
