$AVAX has some interesting action.

It’s up 0.55% over 15m—not much at first glance, but volume has surged to 1.65x, with a taker buy/sell ratio of 2.35 and a 40.4% imbalance. Buyers are clearly stepping in.

The key factor is OI. Perpetuals are up 0.75% over 1h, with 1.64M U in notional inflows. Its anomaly percentile is 94.4%, ranking #14 across the whole pool. Price is rising along with OI, so this isn’t short covering—someone is levering up to go long.

On the 5m chart, it has just closed above the highs of nearly 20 candles. Price is already near a historical extreme, and market depth is supportive too.

AVAX has been quiet for quite a while, so this sudden appearance at this point is worth keeping an eye on to see whether it can hold. A failed breakout would be a different story, but the current market structure is bullish.
