Checking the derivatives market lately reveals an interesting pattern—open interest keeps climbing higher even as prices slide lower. That's a telltale sign: more aggressive short positions are piling in. From a technical standpoint, this setup feels unclean. Before you'd want to see any real upside momentum continue, ideally there should be some aggressive liquidations to flush out this OI buildup. A cleaner market structure after that kind of shake-out would give you much more confidence in the next leg up. It's the kind of thing worth monitoring closely if you're thinking about positioning going forward.
