$G This pump is getting a bit too fast.

On the 15m chart it directly pushed through 7 points; the volume is up to 5.58x, with a Z value of 2.71—clearly not the kind of small-scale play retail traders do. The key is that OI is also rising along with it—on the 1h contracts are up 1.43%, the notional increased by nearly 3 million U, and the anomaly percentile is 92.9%, with the whole pool ranking at #13. Price is up, open interest is up—structurally it looks more like fresh leveraged longs coming in to push, not like a short-squeeze fueled by panicked selling.

The closing price just broke above the upper edge of the last ~20 consecutive 5m candles. In the past 24h, the traded value is over 400 million, and the depth is there. Active buy-vs-sell is only off by 2.3%, and the buy/sell ratio is 1.05. Buys are slightly dominant, but not out of control.

Whether to chase at this position depends on the individual. Once you break the boundary and volume-price are coordinated cleanly, it can look good—but if leverage builds up, the pullback won’t be gentle. I’ll throw this onto my watchlist and keep an eye on it first.
