$HYPE : Something looks off with this 15m move. Price is down less than 1%, but volume has jumped to 3.73x, aggressive trade imbalance is -11.4%, and the buy/sell ratio is 0.79—the selling pressure is pounding the market, but the price drop is staying surprisingly contained.

OI is also up slightly over 1h, by 0.39%. Price down + OI up is a classic sign of leveraged shorts piling in, not a passive selloff caused by old longs closing out. The anomaly percentile is 85.7%, and it ranks #4 in nominal change across the entire pool—there’s real depth here.

The close has just slipped below the lower bound of the recent 20-bar 5m range. With 24h turnover sitting at 735M, don’t rush to buy the dip if volume keeps following through after the breakdown.
