$USELESS —whoever named this was… a little too honest.
15m volume surged to 4.68x as price got hammered down 2%. It closed below the lows of nearly 20 consecutive 5m candles. The catch is that OI is still rising—15m +0.45%, 1h +0.23%—while notional is shrinking (-296K / -516K). Price down, OI up, notional down: a classic sign of leveraged shorts entering, not spot selling.
The anomaly percentile is 97.6%, ranking 12th across the whole pool. Buy/sell is 0.81, and the active trade imbalance is -10.4%—sellers are in control. 24h turnover is 27M, so there’s plenty of volume. From here, either the sell-off accelerates or shorts get squeezed and price snaps back.
This has persisted across multiple timeframes; it’s not just a one-candle spike. I’m watching, but in no hurry to act.
