AAVE is looking interesting on the 15m timeframe.
Price is down 0.67%, but volume has jumped to 2.59x, and OI is still climbing — +0.60% over 1h. This setup doesn’t look like longs cutting losses; it looks more like new shorts entering with leverage. Taker flow is off by 12.9%, and the buy/sell ratio is 1.30, so there’s actually been plenty of aggressive buying. But on Binance Futures, the 5m liquidation proxy shows 170K, heavily concentrated on the sell side, suggesting shorts are pushing the price down while longs are getting squeezed.
24h trading volume is 92M, and liquidity is solid — this isn’t a minor move. All-pool notional change ranks #39, with an anomaly percentile of 44.6%. Not extreme, but combined with this volume, it’s worth keeping an eye on.
My take: if new shorts are in control here, the price needs to keep weakening to confirm it. If volume fades and the price stops making new lows, these shorts become fuel. Don’t rush to buy the dip or chase shorts — wait for the 15m candle to close for confirmation.
