$BICO This move is kind of interesting 🌊
On the 15-minute timeframe, it dropped 2.9% straight away, but the most eye-catching part is the change in contract open interest—over the past hour, the notional positions were cut by 3.5%, with capital outflows exceeding 800k U. The pace clearly looks like the longs are backing off and retreating, not like new shorts are entering to smash the market.
The deeper data supports this as well: the aggressive trade imbalance is -15.6%, the buy/sell ratio fell to 0.73, and order execution is one-sided, with buy orders being unable to hold and sellers taking control. Add to that the funding rate hovering near a high level—after this combo, the short-term reward-to-risk for chasing shorts is actually mediocre.
In the whole-pool abnormal ranking, it’s at #15, and the change in notional is also around 23. At this kind of position, it’s either a needle-like move to lure bears in, or the starting point of a new trend. The price is down, but the selloff momentum doesn’t really look like it’s inviting people to get on board… For now, don’t chase—wait for a pullback to confirm support before discussing further.
