$AERO has something going on.
In 15m, volume surged to 2.62x, volatility Z hit 2.40, and price broke above the highs of the past 20 5m candles. The aggressive trade imbalance was 41.9%, with a buy/sell ratio of 2.44—this isn’t the kind of price action you get from retail traders casually tapping in a few orders.
More importantly, there’s OI. It’s up 0.51% over 15m and 0.88% over 1h, with a notional change of 1.83M over the past week. Its anomaly percentile is 98.2%, ranking #1 across the entire pool. Price is rising while OI climbs alongside it—a classic sign of leveraged longs entering, not shorts getting squeezed.
24h trading volume is only 41M, and the order book isn’t very deep. If someone keeps pushing at these levels, slippage could get ugly. On the other hand, if the price can’t be pushed higher, the pullback could be swift.
The move has continued across multiple timeframes, and depth confirmation has checked out too. For now, I’m not taking the other side.
