$RENDER has some real momentum.

Up 1.9% in 15 minutes, with volume surging to 2.57x—that’s not just a random wick; it’s broken above the highs of the last 20 five-minute candles. The aggressive buy/sell ratio is 1.45, with a difference of 18.4%, which clearly suggests buyers are sweeping up, rather than just passively waiting for their orders to fill.

What’s even more interesting is the OI. Price is up and OI is rising in tandem, with 1h notional up +351K and an anomaly percentile of 92.5%, ranking #25 among all assets in the pool. This combination pretty much rules out a short-covering scenario and points more toward new leveraged longs entering. The funding rate has also climbed to a recent high percentile, showing that bullish sentiment is indeed building.

Of course, high funding rates combined with persistently anomalous OI cuts both ways. If the trend continues, it could accelerate; if it reverses, liquidations could cascade. If you’re chasing this move, manage your position size—don’t go all in just because you see a breakout.

First, watch whether price can hold above the top of this range. If it can’t, the breakout may fail and reverse; only if it holds is there room for the next leg up.
