Short buildup

Open interest rising into a falling price — fresh shorts being written with conviction.

A falling price with growing futures open interest means the decline is being sold into, not just abandoned: someone is opening new short positions at each lower level and paying margin to hold them. It is the bearish mirror of the long buildup, and it reads as a warning on longs you hold as much as a candidate list for shorts.
