$WLD This 15-minute drop of 3.6% saw volume spike straight to 5x the usual level. The ratio of aggressive buys to sells is 0.57, and sell pressure is one-sided. What’s interesting is that OI is still rising—both the 1h and 15m intervals are adding positions. Price is down while positions are up: a classic new-short entry, not a liquidation dump from longs.

The percentile is at 95.4% abnormality. It’s ranked within the top 20 across the whole pool, and the notional change is also near the front. Plus, several consecutive cycles are continuing—this isn’t just a single-needle spike. 24h turnover is 225 million, and the depth is sufficient, so don’t blame liquidity.

With this kind of structure, I generally don’t dare to step in directly. The shorts are building, aggressive volume delta is -27%, and I haven’t seen any signs of exhaustion yet. I’ll wait until OI turns or volume shrinks. Chasing shorts now risks getting squeezed, while trying to bottom-pick risks getting buried.
