PENDLE is getting interesting this move 👀

It broke cleanly above the recent range high on the 15-minute chart, with volume expanding to more than 3x — not a low-volume fake breakout. Open interest is rising in sync, and on the 1-hour timeframe it added nearly $500k in notional positions, which means real new longs are coming in rather than just shorts covering.

Aggressive buy/sell imbalance is 30.7%, with buyers clearly dominating. Funding rates are also sitting near recent highs, so sentiment in the derivatives market is already getting a bit overheated.

One reminder, though: the OI anomaly percentile is 98.2%, ranking second in the pool. At this kind of level, if the trend reverses, the unwind could be brutal. Chasing higher is fine, just don’t get carried away.
