Long unwinding
Longs closing out into a drifting price — a trend quietly losing its sponsors.
Price easing lower while open interest shrinks means longs are leaving without shorts replacing them — an orderly exit rather than an attack. The thresholds here are looser than the buildup scans on purpose: unwinding is gradual by nature, a position book being trimmed over days, and waiting for a dramatic print would miss most of it.
