$WLD This move looks a bit off. The 15m chart has broken straight below the low of the recent 20-bar 5m range, volume has surged to 2.25x normal, the buy/sell ratio is 0.65, and the net aggressive trade flow is -21.6%—sellers are pounding the market.
The key point is that OI is falling along with price: notional OI is down 1.33M over 1h and another 581K over 15m. This doesn't look like new shorts entering; it's more like longs deleveraging and stop-losses triggering in a cascade. The anomaly percentile is 72.8%, ranking #24 across the entire pool, while the notional change ranks as high as #10—so this isn't insignificant.
With 24h trading volume in the 300M range, don't rush to buy the dip. First watch for when this deleveraging stops. If price can't reclaim the range low, the outlook remains weak.
