$AERO This 15-minute dump was brutally decisive: -4.22% on 24x volume, with volatility Z hitting 7.11—straight to the top of the anomaly list across the entire pool.
The key is that OI fell along with it—15m contracts down 2.35%, 1h down 1.86%, with notional shrinking by over 5%. This isn't new shorts entering; it's classic long deleveraging, with stop-losses and position reductions squeezed into a single candle. Aggressive trade imbalance was -45%, and the buy/sell ratio was 0.38—selling pressure was completely one-sided.
Price is now close to the historical extreme zone. After a liquidation-driven drop like this, either it's one final shakeout, or the trend has genuinely reversed. Wait for this 15m candle to close and see if volume contracts. Don't rush to buy the dip.
