$SOPH This drop doesn’t feel quite right.

On the 15m chart, it directly dumped 3.17%, with volume spiking to 3.32x. The Z value is 3.14—this isn’t a normal pullback; it looks like someone is actively selling.

Aggressive volume gap is -23.2%, the buy/sell ratio is 0.62. Sell orders are pressing down against buy orders, and even the close broke below the lower edge of the last ~20 5m bars.

But interestingly, OI only fell 0.76%, nominally -320K. Price is down and OI is down—this is typical of a liquidation/squeeze that kills long leverage: mostly stop-outs and position reductions, not a brand-new surge of shorting.

The abnormal percentile is 92.7%, ranking 5th in the whole pool. It’s been continuing across several consecutive cycles. Over the past 24h, trading value is still 63.97M, and the depth is there—this isn’t just a spike poke; there’s real capital exiting.

First, see whether price can reclaim the lower edge of the 5m range from this level. If it can’t, the next leg may keep grinding.
