Fell 5.5%. The price is just one step away from the 24-hour low at 66.19, yet XAG has actually dropped out of its position. Contract open interest jumped 9.6% in a single day—these are the most striking numbers of today.
Take a glance at who’s piling up: among aggressive trades, 61.3% are buy orders; the long/short ratio is 1.58. Large accounts account for 76.4% and are all-in on longs. This isn’t new short-sellers entering—it’s leveraged dip-buyers catching the knife. They piled in nearly one-tenth of the position in a single day.
The problem is they didn’t catch it. Price slid from 70.56 down to around 66.2—four straight hours, six candles, four of them were bearish. The daily chart printed a single downward move of -5.66%. Price is hugging MA20/50 at 66.57, only 0.04% above it. There isn’t even a decent rebound.
The more bids are piled on, the lower the price goes. It’s selling pressure consuming every buy order—these leveraged longs are being slowly ground down.
So I’m bearish. The more it falls, the more leveraged positions stack up; when the next hourly candle breaks lower, it’s ready-made liquidation fuel. Once 66.19 breaks, there will be a vacuum zone beneath.
Changing my tune is simple too: if price reclaims the 70.6 platform, or if open interest starts shrinking while price stops making new lows—that’s distribution/cleansing, not catching the knife. Then the short thesis is invalid on the spot.
