$AKE fell 5.58% in 15 minutes, with volume surging to 3.92x and OI still rising—price down and open interest up, a classic sign of leveraged shorts adding positions, not just a sell-off. The active trade delta is -7.6%, and the buy/sell ratio is 0.86, so sellers are clearly in control. The OI anomaly is at the 80.6th percentile, ranking #18 across the entire pool, while notional change ranks #8; both depth and volume confirm the move. 24-hour trading volume is 288 million, so liquidity is ample, but with this setup, don't rush to buy the dip in the short term—the shorts are still building positions.
