$GRIFFAIN got slammed hard in 15 minutes, down 4.54%, with volume surging to 13.62x.
The OI tells an even more interesting story: 15m contracts are down 1.97%, or 425K in notional value, and 1h OI is also shrinking. Price down + OI down is a classic sign of long deleveraging—stop-loss cascades or traders actively cutting positions, not fresh shorts opening to drive the price down.
The active trade delta is -18.3%, and the buy/sell ratio is 0.69, showing clearly one-sided selling pressure. The Z-score is 4.92, at the 99.6th percentile across the entire pool—the highest anomaly ranking.
24h trading volume is only 15M, so liquidity was already thin; a move of this size can easily cause slippage. We’re approaching historically extreme levels, so don’t rush to buy the dip. First, see whether OI stops bleeding.
