$CYS After pulling a single 15m contract straight up, it rose 2.62%. Trading volume hit 1.9 times the usual, volatility surged to 3.29—this is clearly not a move that retail investors could push.
The key is OI—on the 15m contracts, positions basically didn’t move, and even dipped slightly, yet the notional value rose by 316K. Coupled with a close breaking above the upper edge of the 20 five-minute candles plus an order flow advantage (buy/sell ratio 1.36), this is a classic short-covering market: shorts are conceding and closing their positions, with the price pushed higher.
This has been maintained across multiple consecutive cycles. The OI percentile is unusually high, touching 95.8%, and overall pool strength ranks 4th. Don’t rush to chase—short-covering can repeat easily; wait for a pullback and confirmation before acting.
