$APR This 15m dump is pretty interesting.
It fell 2.84%, with volume shooting straight to 4x normal levels, and the close broke below the lows of nearly 20 recent 5m candles. But look at OI—the 15m contracts are up 0.26%, notional change is +1.15%, and notional is also positive on the 1-hour side. Price is falling while OI is rising, which looks more like new shorts entering with leverage than a simple long liquidation cascade.
Aggressive trade delta is +12.2%, and the buy/sell ratio of 1.28 leans toward buyers, so there’s some divergence here: new shorts are entering and pushing the price down, while others are still buying into it. The anomaly percentile across the whole pool is 70.2%, ranking #25; notional change ranks #32. It’s unusually high, but not yet extreme.
24h trading volume is 43.87M, and liquidity is sufficient. With this kind of setup, I generally wouldn’t rush to chase shorts. First, see whether price can reclaim the low of this 5m candle after the breakdown; if it can’t, then we can talk about continuation. Newly opened leveraged shorts are most at risk of getting swept out by a bounce.
