$IOTX This unusual move has some substance.

In just 15 minutes it jumped 2.48%, and the OI also rose 1.75%. The newly added positions are leveraged long—not that kind of fake short covering.

The funding rate has also reached a high percentile recently, which suggests real capital is coming in to drive the longs, not random short-term retail traders making reckless bets.

More details: the aggressive trade imbalance is 11.1%, the buy/sell ratio is 1.25, and the long side is still adding at the close. Over the past 24 hours, trading volume was 148 million; relative to IOTX’s market cap, that qualifies as a volume expansion.

The only flaw is that the volume ratio is only 0.77. It feels like deliberate, controlled slow pushing—not a surge driven by aggressive buying. But at the whole-pool level, the abnormal percentile is up to 83.7%, and the nominal change ranks 20th. This level of strength and certainty is already a tier above most “low-quality” anomaly signals.

📈 Keep watching—only after it holds the key level can we talk about more upside. #IOTX #Contract watch
