$CAP is looking interesting.
It jumped 3.13% in 15m, with volume surging to 10x and OI rising 2.6% alongside it. The 1h trend is continuing too. Price up + OI up: a classic sign of fresh leveraged longs entering, not a fake pump caused by shorts getting squeezed.
The key thing is that the OI anomaly percentile has hit 99.6%—ranked #1 across the entire pool for anomalies, and #7 for notional change. And it’s not just a one-period blip: the move has continued across several consecutive periods, with volume also far above normal. The aggressive buy/sell ratio is 1.19, with an 8.8% spread, so buying pressure is still there.
But honestly, at 99.6%, it’s already very close to its historical extreme range. With leveraged longs piled in this heavily, what comes next is either an accelerating short squeeze—or a sharp wick that flushes out the crowded positions.
24h trading volume is only 13.75M, so the pool isn’t very deep. Given this setup, you’ll have to decide for yourself whether chasing longs is worth the risk. I’ll be watching OI: if it pushes higher again but price doesn’t follow, that’s a signal.
Not a trade call, just keeping a record.
