$SKL In this 15m move, it surged by more than 4 points—volume directly hit 15x. OI is up +9.75% in 15 minutes and +11.56% in 1 hour; the anomaly percentile reached 100%, first in the whole pool.
Price is rising while OI is also increasing—typical leveraged longs building positions, and it’s continued across multiple consecutive cycles, not just a quick spike and exit. Funding rate has also reached a high percentile recently.
But there’s an interesting detail: passive-to-active trade imbalance is -2.3%, buy/sell ratio is 0.96. Since price is going up, the active buy side isn’t keeping up—suggesting this push is mostly being driven from the derivatives/contract side, not so hot on the spot side.
OI notional change over 1 hour is only about 650k U; the volume isn’t that large, so it’s the kind of small pool that can be easily “lit.” This structure is either someone laid the groundwork in advance waiting for news, or it’s a pump-and-collect where late chasers should weigh it for themselves.
For now, add it to the watchlist and see whether OI can keep stacking.
