$CLANKER It dumped 9% in just 15 minutes, with volume surging to more than 4x and OI falling along with it—not new shorts entering, but old longs getting liquidated. Price down, open interest shrinking: a classic deleveraging scene, with stop-loss orders triggering one after another. The taker flow imbalance is -13%, with selling pressure clearly one-sided. The OI anomaly percentile is already at 93%, which means the position structure was stretched tight to begin with, and now it’s finally snapped. 24-hour trading volume is over 280 million, and depth is decent—the problem is that everything’s going in one direction. Don’t rush to buy the dip here; wait for OI to stabilize first.
