$CHIP This move is kind of interesting. The price has broken below the lower edge of the past 20 5-minute candles. In the 15-minute window, it directly printed a 2.75x volume spike. Passive-to-active execution difference is -27.3%, and the buy/sell ratio is 0.57—clearly someone is smashing the market.
But look at OI: 15m is +0.22%, 1h is +0.83%, the abnormal percentile is 94.4%, and it ranks 4th in the whole pool. Price is dropping while OI is rising. This isn’t just adding longs—it’s new leveraged short positions entering. And the funding rate is still in the high percentile recently. Even shorts have to pay; yet they’re still shorting—this batch of traders seems quite determined.
The total trading value over 24h is only 9.44M. The pool isn’t deep, and with a nominal change of just -159K, they can push the price down. Liquidity is painfully thin. This kind of structure is either someone had prior knowledge of something, or it’s purely a battle game in an extreme range.
For my part, I’ll just watch. Chasing shorts at this spot is easy to get slapped by a rebound, and bottom-fishing looks like catching a flying knife. Let’s wait until the traded volume contracts before deciding.
