$BEAMX This pullback is a bit different. In the last 15 minutes, the price fell only 0.91%, but OI (open interest) was immediately down 2.79%. Over one hour, it’s -2.45%. Nominally, that’s a loss of 600k USD. This is not retail running—it’s longs being forcibly liquidated.
Active trade volume difference is -11.8%, and the buy/sell ratio is 0.79, indicating sell pressure is dominant, though the volume isn’t that large. This looks like long stop-loss liquidation panic rather than new shorts entering. The OI abnormal percentile at 94.4% has persisted across multiple intervals, and the funding rate is also at a high percentile recently—leverage is already pushed too far.
The structure most fears a chain reaction of deleveraging. If OI keeps dropping next while the price holds steady, that suggests the washing phase is about done. At this level, we’re near the historical extreme zone—don’t rush to bottom-fish. Wait until the leverage-clearing signals are clearer.
