$STRK These 15 minutes are getting interesting.
The price is down 0.84%—not much—but OI is rising: +2.09% over 15 minutes and +4.53% over 1 hour. Price down, open interest up: a classic short-building setup, not a drop driven by longs closing out.
Trading volume is 2.06× normal, so activity is elevated. The taker flow differential is 5.4%, with buyers still slightly ahead at a 1.11 ratio. So this isn't one-sided panic; it looks more like someone is actively opening shorts at this level while longs are stepping in to buy.
The change in total market notional ranks 25th, at the 63rd percentile—not extreme, but confirmed by depth data. 24-hour volume is 430 million, so liquidity is sufficient. Building positions like this won't go unnoticed.
Keep an eye on OI over the next 15 minutes. If it keeps building and the price holds, a squeeze could be coming.
