$INJ This drop is interesting.
A 0.85% drop over 15m isn’t much on its own, but volume shot up to 3.63x, with a Z-score of 2.42, and the close fell below the lower bound of the last 20 5m ranges—that’s active selling by someone with size.
The key is OI: -0.50% over 15m and -0.39% over 1h. Price down + OI down is classic deleveraging. It’s not new shorts entering; longs are cutting losses or getting liquidated. The aggressive trade delta is -16%, and the buy/sell ratio is 0.72, so selling pressure is clearly dominant.
But there’s one detail: the OI anomaly percentile is 74.8%, ranking #29 across the entire pool, while the notional change ranks #46. So the anomaly isn’t actually that extreme. In other words, this looks more like a short-term breakdown triggered by localized stop-losses than a systemic crash.
24h trading volume is 88M, so liquidity is still there. Next, watch whether price can quickly reclaim the lower bound of the range. If it can’t, that confirms the trend is weakening.
Wait and see for now—no need to rush in.
