ZEN is making a strong move today, with an intraday increase of 18.10%, and the price has surged to $12.39. It looks like it's about to test the upper Bollinger Band at $12.50. On the technical side, things seem decent—multi-timeframe moving averages are well-aligned, the MACD histogram is expanding on both the 4-hour and daily charts, and the ADX strength has reached 43.62, indicating that the trend still has some momentum.
However, a closer look reveals some issues. The OBV (On-Balance Volume) indicator shows -0.42M on the 4-hour timeframe, which suggests what? The volume and price direction are starting to diverge. While the price is rising, the underlying momentum appears to be weakening. Looking at the open interest—short positions have surged by 21.71%, now totaling $78 million. The funding rate remains positive at +0.01%, meaning longs are paying for insurance. These are not very optimistic signals.
Therefore, my view is: ZEN might need to pull back and re-establish around the $11 level to confirm this support line can hold, before considering a second wave of upward movement. Jumping in now, the risk and reward balance isn't quite even.

This wave of gains looks great, but that negative value on OBV is really a bit off-putting.

Short positions are skyrocketing; this move might be a trap to lure buyers. Be cautious when chasing the high.

Hey wait, OBV is turning negative, are the bulls still paying the fees? This rise seems a bit fake.

This surge is fierce but lacks confidence, and the OBV data is really disappointing.

The rise is fierce, but I get a bit nervous whenever the OBV lights up a red signal. I've seen too many tricks like volume-price divergence.
Be cautious about the surge in short positions; it feels like someone is digging a trap during this rally.
If the $11 line can't hold, we might see more retracement. I'll wait for confirmation before taking action.
Chasing highs is still better left to others to take the risk; my life is more valuable.
Although the upper band of the Bollinger Bands is very close, the sense of weakness is quite obvious. I'm not really keen on betting on this wave.

Short positions are surging wildly; this rally is fading a bit too quickly. Be careful of getting caught off guard.
