$LSK Over these 15 minutes, things got a bit brutal—down 2.21% straight away. Volume hit 7.81x, with a Z-score of 3.81. Clearly, someone made a move right at this level.
Most striking is the OI: the 15-minute contracts fell 2.01%, and the 1-hour OI also shrank by 0.96%. Notional change ran over 500k U. The OI abnormal percentile immediately pushed to 100%, ranking first across the entire pool. This isn’t ordinary volatility—it looks like longs are deleveraging, taking stop-losses, or passively shrinking their positions.
Price broke below the lower bound of the recent ~20 5-minute ranges. Active trade difference was -0.2%, buy/sell ratio was 1.00. Liquidity/depth has been confirmed, but I didn’t see strong enough follow-through from the longs to catch the selloff.
In short: it’s not panic selling; it looks more like being forced to cut positions. This level is near a historical extreme zone. Next, it’s either a further acceleration downward, or short-covering sparks a rebound. But the signal the tape is giving right now is—long positions are retreating, not adding. Don’t rush to bottom-pick. First, see whether the OI can hold steady.
