$RLC ’s move clearly isn’t something retail traders could generate just by trading quickly.

It surged 12% in 15 minutes, with volume hitting 2.2 times its usual level. OI rose over both 15 minutes and one hour, while notional exposure jumped 13% to 16% in one go. Price and open interest moved up together—this looks less like a short squeeze and more like fresh leveraged longs rushing in.

Even more striking: its OI anomaly percentile is 99.4%, the highest across the entire pool. What does that mean? Within the same time window, nothing else came close to being as extreme. It also closed above the highs of nearly 20 recent 5-minute candles, with an aggressive trade delta of +8.6% and a buy/sell ratio of 1.19. The price-volume action looks almost too smooth.

24-hour trading volume has already reached 250M, and the funding rate is also near recent highs. Long sentiment is running hot—but at these levels, either the rally accelerates further, or a wave of latecomers gets left holding the bag. Don’t chase it; wait and see whether a pullback finds support.
