POWER pulled this 15m move quite cleanly—4.86% paired with a 2.11x volume increase, and the Z-value directly pushed up to 2.96. Not some slow, grindy “fake breakout.”
The key OI (open interest) activity is a bit interesting—15m +1.77%, 1h +1.02%, with the nominal change all above $270k. The abnormal percentile at 99.8% ranks first across the whole pool. This kind of OI keeps stacking up over multiple cycles, while price is still holding the structure as it breaks along the top edge of the 20 five-minute range—more like fresh leveraged longs are entering, rather than shorts being forced to passively cover and causing a fake spike.
The active trade delta is 0.0%, and the buy/sell ratio is 1.00. For now, I don’t see any clear one-sided suppression on the tape. But with only $13.93M in 24h traded value, the pool isn’t very deep. Liquidity confirmation is there, and volume is higher than usual; however, at a position near its own historical extreme zone, anyone chasing has to think carefully: are you buying the continuation, or trying to catch the very last baton?
Next, see whether it can hold this upper edge. If OI keeps piling up but price doesn’t follow, then you need to be careful.
