$US In these 15 minutes, it directly smashed down nearly 9 percentage points—2.85x volume, with aggressive sell orders pushing the price down. The buy-sell ratio is 0.64. Clearly this isn’t retail panic; it’s being driven downward with direction.
What’s interesting is the OI—price is falling while open interest is rising. Over 1h, OI is +3.82%, but the notional value actually shrank by 1.87M. What does that imply? New shorts are coming in, while the longs on the other side are being forced to liquidate or reducing positions. It’s a full turnover, a swap.
After breaking below the lower boundary of the past ~20 5-minute candles, technically this is already considered a breakdown. In the last 24h, trading value is still 65M+, so liquidity is sufficient, but aggressive trading is down by -21.8%. The bulls don’t seem to have the intention to fight back for now.
What does this kind of structure fear the most? Fear short-squeeze pressure. The higher the position build-up and the sharper the drop, the larger the elasticity if stop-loss triggers or a rebound happens.
No predictions—just watch the direction of OI and aggressive trading. Before a regime change, there are usually signals.
