$OP This move is pretty interesting. The price fell 1.31% over 15m, volume surged to 2.87x, and OI still rose 1.72% over 1h. Price down, open interest up—a classic sign of bears entering with leverage, not just a long liquidation cascade.
The taker flow difference is -28%, and the buy/sell ratio is 0.56, so sellers are in control. The close has already broken below the lower bound of the last 20 5m candles, confirming structural weakness. The OI anomaly percentile is 82.7%, ranking #15 across the entire pool, so it’s attracting a fair amount of attention.
With this kind of setup, I usually wouldn’t rush to buy the dip. We haven’t seen any signs of the newly added short leverage running out of steam yet. I’d wait for OI to stop building and volume to taper off, then see if there’s a chance of a rebound. As for chasing the short, the entry after the breakdown isn’t very attractive either.
