$COTI This move has a little something.
On the 15m timeframe it surged directly by 1.79%. Volume expanded to 3.08x; the Z value is 2.46. The closing price punched through the upper band of the previous nearly 20 five-minute candles. The aggressive buy side is tilted toward 18.9%, the buy/sell ratio is 1.47. Combined with the trading volume, the depth confirms there’s enough.
What’s interesting, though, is the OI—on 15m the contract is -0.18%, while on 1h it’s only +0.51%. Price rallies, but OI doesn’t follow, or even dips slightly. That’s a typical short covering / position unwinding structure—not the kind of fresh, large-scale longs entering.
OI’s abnormal percentile is 97.4%, ranking #9 across the whole pool—definitely an extreme zone. Over the past 24h, turnover is 21.86M; not huge, not small.
My understanding of this structure is: don’t rush to chase. A行情 driven by shorts being squeezed out—once the covering/unwinding is done, it may disappear. Watch whether OI follows afterward: if it doesn’t, then it’s likely just a one-off move.
Keep a close eye.
