APR This wave has some substance.
In just 15 minutes, it dropped 1.87%, and the volume surged to 5.6x. But surprisingly, open interest actually shrank—OI over the last 15 minutes fell by 0.07%, and the notional change was -171K. The price is down, but positions weren’t added. This doesn’t look like incremental short-sellers smashing the market; it looks more like longs deleveraging and getting liquidated, which cleared out the longs.
More subtly, the close has already broken below the lower bound of the most recent 20 five-minute K-lines. Active volume is worse by -19.6%, and the buy/sell ratio is 0.67, indicating the sellers were pressing the accelerator from start to finish.
The OI percentile for abnormalities is already at 96%—ranked 4th in the whole pool—and the notional change is also on the list. Technically, this kind of market behavior is very standard: extreme-range break + volume expansion + active selling + position shrinkage. It’s a textbook-style directional breakout.
However, after breaking the range, the key question is whether it will accelerate further or rebound to confirm. There will be significant disagreement. At this price level, chasing shorts risks a rebound, while going long risks a slow, grinding decline.
My view is: wait for volume-and-price confirmation before acting. Watch whether the next 15 minutes can stop the decline and shrink volume. If there’s a rebound but OI continues to move lower, then it’s likely just a weak rebound—and there may be a second leg.
