MU took this drop pretty cleanly—973 ground down to 940. On the 15-minute chart, both moving averages were fully broken to the downside. On the 4-hour chart, the direction has flipped to DOWN. But what’s truly eye-catching is another number: while the price is falling, the 24-hour open interest is actually up 7.6%. In the middle of the downtrend, someone is adding positions—that’s the part that really needs explaining.
Let’s look at what kind of money this add-on is. The funding rate is sitting around 0.002%, which is basically zero—there’s no squeeze cost at all, no fuel. And over the last 7 hours, OI shrank by 4.7%. The longs added at higher levels didn’t wait for a rebound; they were washed out. This add-on doesn’t prop up the price, and the funding isn’t providing any “burn.” This position looks more like shorts pressing lower along with the decline—not bargain-hunting money.
Even the supporting signals are one-sided toward the bears: the aggressive buy volume is only 48%, while sell pressure keeps weighing on the buys. The large-account long ratio has dropped to 44.6%, and within 7 hours it fell another 7.56%—big accounts are pulling out of longs. For spot, in five big-order windows, net inflows were all zero. At this level, there’s no sign of real money entering.
My stance is to short MU. First target is the 24-hour low at 936; if it breaks, more downside opens up. When would it reverse? Either price reclaims the 951 moving average and holds above it, or spot big orders start showing sustained net inflows and the aggressive buy ratio returns to above 50%. If that happens, I’ll admit the mistake and exit—I won’t fight the trend by hard-holding.
