$CAKE This drop is pretty interesting.
The price is down, and OI is falling too. Open interest in 1h futures is down 1.14%—this doesn't look like a sell-off driven by fresh shorts entering, but more like longs pulling out first. Whether it's stop-losses or reduced leverage, positions are shrinking either way.
15m trading volume surged to 3.19x, the taker flow delta was -20.1%, and the buy/sell ratio was 0.67, with sellers clearly in control. Price has already broken below the lows of the last 20 or so 5m candles, weakening the short-term structure.
The OI anomaly percentile is 96%, ranking #3 across the whole pool, and the trend has continued for several consecutive periods. This kind of deleveraging-driven drop often feels worse than a sell-off caused purely by bears—because it's your own side stepping on itself.
Let's see if price can hold here. If it can't, there may be more downside ahead.
