$USELESS This move is pretty interesting.
Price is down 1.51% over 15m, while volume has surged to 3.58x. Net taker flow is -31.2%, and the buy/sell ratio is 0.52—selling pressure is overwhelmingly one-sided. But OI is still rising: +0.08% over 1h and +0.20% over 15m, with an anomaly percentile of 86.7%.
Price down, OI up—that’s a classic sign of new leveraged shorts entering, not longs closing out and driving the price down.
The close has already broken below the lows of nearly 20 recent 5m candles. The range is broken. 24h trading volume is 28M, with enough depth—this isn’t just a small move.
With this kind of setup, I usually keep an eye on it: if OI keeps building and price doesn’t bounce, shorts may have another leg. But if volume starts to fade and OI turns down, that could be the spark for a short squeeze.
At this level, chasing shorts feels uncomfortable, and it’s too early to go long. Just watching.
