$TST This move has something to it.
It surged 2.67% in 15m, with volume hitting 11.92x and a Z-score of 3.63. More importantly, OI is up 3.12% in 15m and 3.17% in 1h, with an abnormality percentile of 99.4%—second across the whole pool. OI has remained abnormally elevated for several consecutive periods, so this isn’t just a quick retail rush.
Price up, OI up: a classic sign of leveraged longs building positions, not shorts getting squeezed. The taker trade imbalance is 3.9%, and the buy/sell ratio is 1.08. Buyers have a slight edge, but it’s not particularly aggressive, which suggests we haven’t reached the FOMO stage yet.
The market depth confirms the move too: volume is above normal, OI has stayed abnormally high, and it’s approaching the upper end of its historical range.
With this kind of setup, I usually watch for a pullback rather than chase the first candle. Once leverage piles in, the move either accelerates or gets flushed out. With a coin like TST, which has only $13M in 24-hour volume, volatility can ramp up fast.
I’ll keep watching for now.
