SEI · 1H · DOWNTREND
My last two reads on SEI are done — Target 2 was hit on the September 2 read at 0.0505, and that completed move is now fully spent. Price has since collapsed from the 0.0515–0.0520 zone all the way to current 0.0450, printing a clear sequence of lower highs and lower lows across the right side of this chart. The structure is bearish: the September 3–4 highs near 0.0500 were lower than the 0.0515 spike, the September 8–9 bounce failed below 0.0500, and price is now sitting on top of a dense liquidation cluster at 0.0445 with another at 0.0425 below. Funding is mildly long-biased at 0.0100% per 8h — longs are paying, which means the crowded side is vulnerable to a squeeze lower. I'm not chasing the short here with price already sitting directly on the 0.0445 cluster, but a dead-cat bounce into 0.0455–0.0471 is the location I'd want to reload short from.
The news context for the SEI ticker on this chart (crypto SEI, not Solaris Energy Infrastructure) is irrelevant — the news block references NYSE:SEI, a completely different asset. I'm ignoring it and reading this purely on structure and derivatives.

SHORT SCENARIO
Confirmation
0.0455
Rejection at 0.0455–0.0471 zone with a 1H close back below 0.0450 confirms bearish continuation — that prints a lower high within the downtrend and fails directly into the dense liquidation cluster sitting at 0.0455 above.
Invalidation
0.0471
A clean 1H close above 0.0471 — that sweeps the dense cluster above and reclaims enough structure to kill the short thesis.
Target 1
0.0425
Dense liquidation cluster below, next structural objective on continued weakness; this is where I expect the move to stall or accelerate depending on how the sweep plays out.
Target 2
0.0408
The next structural level below, aligning with the late-August swing lows visible on the left side of the chart and the cluster below 0.0425.
Risk/Reward
(0.0450 – 0.0425) / (0.0471 – 0.0450) = 0.0025 / 0.0021 ≈ 1.2:1 — thin but valid given the directional structure; the cluster density at 0.0425 and 0.0408 extends it meaningfully to Target 2
Confidence
MEDIUM — structure is clearly bearish and the completed prior long target confirms the move is spent, but price sitting directly on the 0.0445 cluster means a bounce is likely before the short resolves; I'm waiting for the bounce, not shorting the hole
Resistance: 0.0455 (dense liquidation cluster) / 0.0471 (dense cluster, invalidation)
Support: 0.0435 (dense cluster) / 0.0425 (dense cluster, Target 1)
