$AIOT This 15m move is directly down -5.77%. Volume surged to 3.72x, and it got dumped pretty decisively.

Looking at OI makes it even clearer—both the 15m and 1h are around -4% (slightly over), nominally down more than 360k U, and the whole pool is at an abnormal percentile of 99.8%, ranking #1. The open interest is also moving down in sync—not like fresh shorts entering, more like longs being forced to deleverage; you can almost feel stop-loss orders triggering in a chain.

Price has broken below the lows of nearly 20 consecutive 5m candles. Active trade volume is down -25.8%, buy/sell ratio is 0.59, and sell pressure is one-sided. 24h turnover is only 13.63M, and the pool isn’t that deep—at times like this, slippage tends to get magnified.

If those OI anomalies keep carrying through a few more cycles, don’t rush to pick up near the extreme zone yet. Wait for volume to contract or for OI to stabilize—because the knife is still in the air.
