$MANTA has taken a pretty hard hit here, dropping 2.63% in just 15 minutes as trading volume surged to 4.59x. OI is falling too: 1h contracts are down 1.74%, with a notional change of -0.45%—a classic long deleveraging move, with stop-losses triggering as positions are cut.

The aggressive trade imbalance is -18.2%, and the buy/sell ratio is 0.69, so selling pressure is in control. Funding rates are still at a recent high percentile; longs had gotten too crowded, and now they’re being flushed out.

The OI anomaly percentile is 97.6%, ranking #10 across the entire pool and nearing its own historical extreme. With this kind of setup, don’t rush to buy the dip—wait for OI to stabilize first.
