$SAND There's something here.

It jumped 1.38% in 15m, with volume surging straight to 3.86x and a Z-score of 3.40—not the kind of slow, grinding move you usually see. OI is rising in tandem: +0.98% over 1h and +1.39% over 15m. The nominal increase isn't huge, but it's at the 93.5th percentile for anomalies, ranking #3 across the entire pool—an unusual spot to be in.

Price broke above the top of its recent 20-candle 5m range. The aggressive buy/sell ratio is 1.26, with taker flow skewed to the buy side. This setup looks more like fresh leveraged longs entering than a short-covering rally.

24h trading volume is 122M, with sufficient depth. First, watch whether it can hold above this level; if it can't, it's a false breakout.
