ADX 73 is stretched into exhaustion territory — historically mean-reversion odds rise at this extreme reading. Whale flow is only mildly bullish (1 long vs 0 short, tiny $2.9k net) and OI is thin at $21M, giving the prevailing trend no real fuel. Committing SHORT per the prompt's forced-direction rule, but sizing down to 5% of capital at 2x leverage (≈10% notional, well under the 20% cap) with R:R ≈ 2.0 and realized risk ≈0.27% of equity, because conviction is genuinely low on an 8h exhaustion coin-flip.
