---

MYX Finance [MYX]  in the past day witnessed its steepest outflow, marking a 33% decline, at press time.

Despite this decline, indicators show a growing bullish alignment in the market, adding to the possibility of a rally. AMBCrypto examines how MYX’s next movement could develop.

Liquidity outflow forces MYX into a corner

There has been a massive liquidity outflow from MYX in the derivatives market, as both long and short investors closed their positions.

The outflow resulted in $74 million worth of positions being closed, covering both liquidated and non-liquidated positions.

At press time, Open Interest (OI) on CoinGlass sat at $311 million in the market.

In fact, investors holding on to long positions and backing the bullish trend are facing significant losses, according to recent Liquidation Insight data.

At the time of writing, total long liquidations, representing bullish traders, had reached $6.41 million. Meanwhile, short liquidations were also on the rise, climbing to $4.21 million.

This simultaneous increase in both long and short liquidations suggests a potential shift in market structure, with bullish momentum possibly gaining strength as trading continues to unfold.

Indicators show positive outcome

The liquidity outflow in the market appears to be part of a broader setup.

Technical indicators such as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI), both momentum-based indicators, are showing bullish tendencies.

The MACD is already trending upward and remains in positive territory on the chart. It is tilting higher, implying that more liquidity could likely flow into the market.

Likewise, the RSI has also maintained an upward trajectory, holding a reading of 63.4, at press time. Whenever the RSI stays between 50 and 70, it suggests a bullish trend is in place.

Both indicators signal that the potential for an MYX rally remains strong, and gains could notably increase.

Shifting sentiment confirms indecision

The derivatives’ outflow in the market has played a major role in MYX’s recent movement on the chart. AMBCrypto’s review of the OI Weighted Funding Rate revealed a shifting sentiment, pointing to growing uncertainty.

The OI-Weighted Funding Rate is interpreted based on its position: a positive reading suggests more funding from longs, with bulls dominating, while a negative reading suggests more shorts funding the market, with a downward tendency.

In the early hours of today, the OI-weighted Funding Rate was at 0.0010%, a positive reading that suggested bullish momentum.

However, this quickly reversed, with the metric showing a reading of -0.0023% on the chart, at press time.

Such a sharp fluctuation indicates a level of indecision among investors, as longs and shorts continue to tussle for dominance. Until a decisive move occurs in either direction, MYX could tilt either way.
