$BIGTIME Something is off in these 15 minutes.

The price has been hammered down by 1.95%, while the volume has directly surged to 2.29 times the average. The buy-sell difference in aggressive trades is -41.3%, and the buy-to-sell ratio is 0.42—the sell orders are being hammered down.
OI for 15m dropped by 1.56%, nominally -112K, but strangely, OI for 1h is still positive.

Let me translate it: the longs are running, and they’re running in a concentrated way. The price falls while OI drops—this is a classic deleveraging structure. It’s not new shorts entering; it’s old longs that can’t hold anymore.

At the 98th percentile for abnormal OI, the whole pool ranks #2. The funding rate is still in a high percentile recently, which suggests the longs were previously squeezed too tightly.
This has continued across multiple consecutive cycles—it doesn’t look like a one-off washout.

With a 24h trading value of 10.79M and this kind of anomaly, it’s either someone is being forced to liquidate, or a stop-loss chain has been triggered. Either way, the short-term structure is already messed up.

At this kind of position, I won’t catch the falling knife. Wait until OI stabilizes and the aggressive trade imbalance converges.
