My brain can’t process this: when the price keeps getting hammered down one rung at a time, the open position volume is actually still surging upward—this isn’t bottom-fishing; it’s bulls welding themselves into their positions, turning into human punching bags in the trade. All six four-hour candles are bearish; the intraday low has just been touched, and even the rebound can’t catch its breath. The order book’s sell orders are so thick they could build a wall, and the amount on the aggressive buy side can’t even gnaw through the wall plaster. The large accounts’ long position ratio is still being held up, but—who are they showing it to? The spot side can’t take it, while the futures side is still bearing the load. The funding rate hasn’t turned negative, but the longs are already teetering on the edge of paying out of pocket. You don’t need to wait for a huge breakout in volume—this structure itself is the answer, and a slow grind lower is the proof.
