I’ve pulled it down to here and I can’t quite hold it together.
$HEI 15m just smashed it by nearly 4 points. The volume is up to 1.35x, and the close is still below the lower bound of the recent 20 5m ranges. The aggressive trading volume gap is -7.7%, the buy/sell ratio is 0.86, and the sell pressure is real—pushing down without any needle-like manipulation.
But what really makes me frown is the OI. The 15m contract is -2.41%, and the 1h is -3.63%. Notional change: one is -6.46% and the other is -14.42%. The abnormal percentile is 96.6%, the entire pool is #8. This doesn’t look like new short entries; it feels more like longs de-leveraging—stop-losses, reducing positions, shrinking exposure—getting beaten out all the way.
The funding rate is still sitting in a high percentile recently. This suggests the prior long side was overly crowded. Once the price drops, OI falls right along with it—that’s the process of that batch being forced to hand over their chips.
24h turnover is 55.98M—not really deep-pocket liquidity. At this kind of volume level, de-leveraging often has more impact than the superficial 3.92%. It’s already dropped near historical extreme territory; I’ll first see whether it can hold steady, and I won’t rush to catch it.
