$ZRO This bullish move is a bit惨 (miserable) for the longs.
In just 15 minutes, it dropped 7 points straight; the trading volume surged to 7.2x. OI was falling while price was dropping. Over 4 million USDT in notional was washed out, and the funding rate is still stuck in the high percentile recently—this has the familiar “good news already priced in” flavor.
Basically, leverage was stacked too high, and a single needle swept them all out. And this isn’t a normal pullback: OI percentile hit 100%, ranking first in the whole pool for abnormal activity. For the next hour, it kept deleveraging. Active buying/selling is 0.85; sell pressure is dominant. But the good part is the combination of price down + OI down—so it’s relatively healthy liquidation and not a straight-out bearish crushing.
The structure is most afraid that the drop continues, forcing the remaining longs to get out as well. Watch whether OI can hold steady afterward—don’t rush to catch falling knives.
