$HAEDAL These 15 minutes have been brutal: -5.37%, volume up to 3.17x, taker buy/sell ratio at 0.55, with clear selling pressure.
The key issue isn’t the drop itself, but OI declining steadily over several consecutive periods: -3.26% over 15m and -4.45% over 1h, with the notional change also ranking relatively high. Falling price + falling OI is a classic sign of long deleveraging, with stop-losses and position reductions happening together—not new shorts entering to drive the price down.
The anomaly percentile hit 100%, ranking #2 across the entire pool, while the funding rate remains in a high percentile relative to recent levels. Longs were overcrowded earlier, and now there’s a chain reaction of forced liquidations. 24h trading volume is 35.66M, and depth is sufficient, but this move is about flushing out excess—not a dip-buying signal. First, watch to see whether OI can stabilize.
