$STRK This 15m breakdown on surging volume is noteworthy: volume hit 2.41x, and price fell 1.42%, decisively breaking below the low of the past 20 5m candles. But OI actually rose—15m +0.61%, 1h +0.65%. Price down, open interest up: a classic sign of new shorts entering, rather than longs capitulating and exiting.
Taker flow imbalance was -11.1%, with a buy/sell ratio of 0.80, so selling pressure is in control. The notional change ranked #31 across the entire pool, at the 58.7th anomaly percentile—not extreme, but the breakdown has been confirmed by volume.
Don’t rush to buy the dip in the short term. Short leverage has just moved in, so if the price stabilizes and bounces, it could trigger a short squeeze. If it continues lower on rising volume, that points to the downtrend continuing. The key is whether price can reclaim the broken support; if it can’t, follow the trend.
