I do see the number of contracts on Bitmex have increased a bit during this drop, just can't say on which side, long or short. Assuming retail money buys at the highs and smart money is pushing them out now, would expect a decrease of the contracts. Thats why i think there is a chance it was a push down into buy orders. But i can't know this for sure, just an assumption. It could also mean a bunch of new short positions have openend. We will probably get our answer withing the next half hour.
