AGT This quick sell-off is sharp; active trades are worse by -21%, the buy-sell ratio is 0.65, and the meaning of distribution is pretty clear.

But looking at OI, it’s actually dropping: 15m -0.42%, 1h -0.66%. As the price falls + the position decreases, it looks more like longs are de-leveraging themselves and getting stopped out—not like new shorts are aggressively building positions. Sometimes this kind of structure is actually cleaner than one-sided selling that just keeps dumping.

Trading volume is 3.41x, volatility (Z) is raised to 5.60, and the pool’s abnormal percentile is 89.7%—the heat is definitely there. The close has also already broken below the lower edge of the recent 20 consecutive 5m ranges.

Now it comes down to whether this lower edge can be reclaimed quickly—if it can’t, there’ll probably be another round of washing afterward.
