$ONE There’s something interesting here. The price for 15m climbed 15m, up 1.49%, but volume didn’t really pick up—volume at 0.51x paired with a 0.50 wave feels rather sluggish on the surface.
But the OI is secretly increasing. 15m +1.82%, 1h +1.68%. Nominal change in 1h reached 837K, +8.70%. This doesn’t look like it’s being pushed by closing positions—it’s more like new long positions are squeezing in.
The abnormal percentile is 82.9%. It ranks
#28 in the whole pool by nominal change percentile (
#22 for nominal change). The funding rate is still in the recent high percentile.
The buy/sell ratio is 1.03, and the active spread is 1.5%. The bid side has a slight edge, but it’s not really strong. The 24h trading value is 384M; the pool is not small. With OI growth at this pace, compared to this volume level, it’s got something to it.
My take: leveraged longs are slowly building positions. The price hasn’t truly moved yet, but the positioning is already in. This structure is either setting up for a play ahead of time, or it’s the group that later gets counter-punched. With the funding rate at a high percentile and OI stacking up fast, if the price doesn’t continue to follow through, it can easily turn into the squeeze target.
Watch it, don’t rush to chase.
