$STX 15mDirectly pulled up 2.41%, with volume at 1.13x. It looks rather ordinary at a glance, but the OI surged together—15m contract +1.58%, 1h +2.41%. The notional change pushed to an all-pool abnormal level #1, with the abnormal percentile at 99.2%. This isn’t short covering—new leveraged long positions are moving in.
Aggressive trade difference is -29.9%, buy/sell ratio 1.85. The tape is clearly bullish. Funding rate has already surged to a high percentile recently; price has tapped the upper edge of the recent range. Over several consecutive cycles, OI and price have been moving upward in sync, and the order book depth has confirmed it as well.
Structurally, this is a classic leveraged_long_build: price rising + OI rising, with new long leverage participating—not just passive squeezing. But on the flip side, with funding high and price hugging the boundary, the risk-reward for chasing longs is deteriorating. This kind of continuous OI abnormal build-up is either a prelude to a trend start, or the final fuel before a squeeze.
In 24h, turnover is only 17.43M; the pool isn’t that deep. An OI notional change of 336K is already noticeable given STX’s scale. The overall abnormality rank is in the front, but it’s not the most extreme by notional change (#29). That suggests it’s STX’s relative abnormality rather than broad-market strength lifting everything.
My take: at this level, chasing longs isn’t as good as waiting for a pullback to confirm. If OI keeps stacking while price stalls, then it’s a different story.
Not investment advice—DYOR.
