$TLM This drop has been pretty brutal.
In the last 15 minutes, it’s down 1.45%, with volume surging to more than 4x the usual level, and volatility has also spiked to around 2.94 standard deviations. The most critical part is that OI has been shrinking for several consecutive cycles—within those 15 minutes, contract positions were pulled back by nearly -1%, and the notional value of open interest dropped by more than 70 thousand USD. This isn’t a normal pullback; it looks more like longs are being forced to cut positions and stop out.
What’s worse is the aggressor-side trading direction—buy orders are only a bit more than half of sell orders; the buy/sell ratio is 0.44, and the shorts are actively driving the price lower. The closing price has already broken through the lower bound of the range from the past 20 five-minute candles, so technical support has basically been lost.
TLM is now approaching historical extreme territory: the abnormal percentile for the whole pool is 94.6%, ranking #15. The OI abnormal behavior has continued across multiple cycles, and the volume confirmation is real—not a fake-out. With this kind of structure, if you want to bottom-fish, you’d better wait—wait for signs of stabilization with contracting volume before acting.
Not advising bearishness—just warning that catching the falling knife right now is too dangerous.
