$CFX is an interesting spot.
Price climbed 1.63% over 15m. Volume didn’t really follow through—just 0.78x—but OI has been quietly building: 15m contracts are up 2.40%, with a notional value of 427K, and 1h is also up 1.09%. Price up, OI up: a classic sign of leveraged longs opening positions.
The anomaly percentile is 95.6%, ranking #3 across the entire pool, while notional change ranks #6. It’s persisted across several consecutive periods. An OI anomaly this strongly confirmed generally doesn’t appear for no reason.
But note one detail: taker flow is negative at -5.1%, with a buy/sell ratio of 0.90. Price is rising, but aggressive buyers aren’t in the lead, suggesting passive limit orders are playing a bigger role in this move. Either someone placed bids in advance to accumulate, or it’s the old trick of selling into a rally.
24h trading volume is 110M—not small for this pool. It’s nearing the extreme end of its historical range. Whether to chase at this level depends on how you define risk.
When leverage piles up, the biggest risk is being on the wrong side. Keep a close eye on OI: once it starts unwinding, anyone slow to get out could be left stranded at the top.
