$ONE This drop is pretty interesting. The price got slammed 3.7%, and OI fell along with it. 1h contracts were down nearly 1.6%, with notional value falling by $920,000. Classic buyer-side deleveraging and a crowd rushing for the exits. Funding rates are still near recent highs, so the earlier longs are probably all scrambling to get out.
The taker buy/sell imbalance is -10.2%, showing clear selling pressure, but volume is only 1.28x—not a panic-driven surge. This structure looks more like a flush of overcrowded long positions than a trend-driven collapse. The OI anomaly percentile is 88.7%, ranking 11th across the entire pool, and it’s been elevated for several consecutive periods, which suggests deleveraging isn’t over yet.
Don’t rush to buy the rebound after a sharp drop. Wait for OI to stabilize, then see whether the market has truly found its footing or is still squeezing out excess speculation.
