$VVV This 15m candle is pretty brutal: volume surged to 4.75x, while price plunged 2.13%. The taker buy/sell ratio is 0.50, with sellers firmly in control.
The key point is OI: price is falling and open interest is dropping too. Nearly 1 million U in notional volume moved in 1h, so this doesn’t look like new shorts entering—it looks more like a chain reaction of long stop-losses and deleveraging. The anomaly percentile is 99%, ranking #3 across the entire pool, which means this move is pretty extreme among the assets being monitored.
Price just broke below the lows of the last 20 or so 5m candles. With 24h volume of 28M, this isn’t a particularly deep pool; if the price can’t stabilize here, there may be a liquidity vacuum further down. No need to rush into a buy—first see whether this candle can close back inside the range.
