$CHIP There's something here.
In 15m, it pushed straight to the top of nearly 20 5m ranges. Price rose, and OI rose in sync; 1h futures open interest is up 1.21%, with a notional value of 342K U. This isn't just spot-driven—it looks more like new leveraged longs are moving in.
What's interesting is that the OI anomaly percentile is already at 94.6%, ranking #10 across the entire pool, while the pool-wide notional change ranks #38. That depth confirmation has just touched the boundary.
But the aggressive trade delta is -1.6%, and the buy/sell ratio is 0.97, so aggressive buying hasn't fully kept up with the push higher. 24h trading volume is only 19.5M, so the pool isn't particularly deep.
This is a classic setup: open interest moves first, while price has only just poked its head up. Either someone is positioning early for a breakout continuation, or it's a boundary sweep to lure in liquidity. Keep an eye on OI—if it drops quickly, the move is probably fake.
