$SUI This latest 15m candle is interesting.
Volume surged to 3.42x, while the price only fell 0.77%. The Z-score was 2.21—a classic case of anomalous volume but a restrained drop. Looking closely at the structure, OI was down 0.16% over 15m and 0.12% over 1h, with nominal changes of -785K / -1.37M. This combination of falling prices and contracting OI points to long deleveraging, not new shorts entering.
The anomaly percentile was 88.1%, ranking #44 across the whole pool, while the nominal change ranked #12. That puts these figures near the top of the pool. The aggressive trade flow delta was -9.6%, with a buy/sell ratio of 0.83—sellers were in control, but it wasn't panic-level selling.
The close broke below the lower boundary of the last 20 five-minute candles' range, which makes this level a bit tricky. 24h trading volume was 250M, so liquidity is deep enough that this doesn't look like a false breakout.
My take: this looks more like a position flush than a signal of a trend reversal. Some longs have been shaken out, and lower OI could leave the market in a cleaner state. Next, I'll watch to see whether the price can quickly reclaim the lower boundary of the range. If it can't, I'll keep waiting.
