$UAI This move is a bit interesting.
In 15 minutes it surged 5.23%; volume shot up to 2.45×, and the volatility Z-value is 4.05. This kind of volume–price coordination has been among the top in the whole pool recently. But pay attention to one detail: while the price is rising, OI is falling—within 15 minutes, the contract position size shrank by 1.29%, and in 1 hour it shrank by 2.63%. This structure is more like short-covering than new longs coming in to push the trend.
In other words, this rally was driven by squeezing short positions. Meanwhile, the nominal figures are still rising, which suggests someone is pushing into this level. Aggressive trades are 23.8% higher than passive trades, and the buy side looks clearly strong—but this is also a signal: after shorts are wiped out, if OI continues to shrink, the question is whether the price can hold.
The key is that the close has already broken above the upper boundary of the range formed by the last ~20 five-minute K-lines, and the depth confirmation looks solid. Trading volume is abnormal, and the order-flow direction is somewhat skewed—these are all positives. But honestly, the combination of declining positions and rising price means chasing higher needs caution. What I care about most is whether the pullback has enough staying power to absorb.
24-hour trading value is $160 million. In this pool, that’s not small, and liquidity isn’t an issue. Let’s just watch and see whether it can hold steady above the breakout level.
