$Niul来 This sell-off has some substance; it dropped 4.71% in just 15 minutes.
It looks like it has broken below the lower boundary of the range formed by the last 20 five-minute candles, but don’t panic yet. The key point is that although the price is falling, OI is rising: 1-hour contract open interest increased by 1.68%. That’s not a good sign. It looks more like newly opened leveraged shorts are coming in to smash the price, rather than longs passively capitulating.
What’s even more concerning is that aggressive trading imbalance is -22%, with bids clearly failing to absorb the selling, and the bid-ask ratio is only 0.64. The volatility Z-score is 2.89, and volume is 2.5 times normal—this kind of price-volume behavior suggests it’s not an ordinary shakeout.
To be honest, this "price down + OI up" combination ranks #14 in all-pool anomalies, and the notional change also made the top 7. This move is being driven by newly added short leverage pushing the price down, which is fundamentally different from profit-taking.
Don’t rush to buy the dip. Wait for signs that short pressure is weakening first. $Niul来 is in a delicate spot right now; it’s already too late to chase shorts, and it’s also too early to bottom-fish, so staying on the sidelines is the main move.
