$PYTH This 15-minute move directly pulled up 3.17%. Volume expanded to 2.3x, and OI also rose by almost 5%.

The key is that the breakout level is excellent—right above the upper edges of nearly 20 five-minute K-lines. And the active buy-side is clearly dominant, with a buy/sell ratio of 1.46. This isn’t a rebound created by short-covering and dumping.

The funding rate is also being kept down at a recent high level, which suggests the bulls are entering with real money—not putting on a show with a fake breakout.

The OI abnormal percentile is straight up at 100%, ranking third in the entire pool. At times like this, the biggest taboo is treating your average-price order as a belief. The faster it rises, the more you need to be prepared for potential wick-pokes.

The data looks great, but what really matters is your position size—because that’s your life.
