ZEC has shown a bit of movement over these 15 minutes.
The price is up 1.16%, volume is 1.65x, volatility (Z) has reached 2.01, and on the Binance perpetuals side the 5-minute interval saw 179K U liquidated, with buy-side orders clearly more concentrated.
But what’s interesting is OI—on the 15-minute chart OI is -0.17%, and on the 1-hour chart only +0.20%. With price rising while OI falls, this structure looks more like short covering or position rebalancing rather than fresh large-scale long entries. Active buy/sell is 1.20, and the trade gap is 9%. Short-term it leans toward the buy side, but overall it doesn’t feel solid enough.
The abnormal OI percentile is 86.9%, the entire pool is #32, and the notional change ranks as high as #4. In the past 24 hours, the traded value is 2.1B U. It has been continuing across several consecutive cycles; depth confirmation seems sufficient and volume is higher than usual. It has also reached the boundary of the recent price range.
With this kind of structure, I’ll look at it a bit more closely—there could be a short-squeeze push higher. But if OI doesn’t follow through, the risk of chasing higher is not small.
