$LTC This move up was pretty decisive: on the 15m chart, price broke straight above the range high of the previous 20 five-minute candles, volume hit 2.43x, net aggressive buying was +38.3%, and the buy/sell ratio was 2.24—someone was sweeping the order book.
But the strange part is OI: -0.22% on the 15m and -0.06% on the 1h. Price up, open interest down—that’s a classic short-covering script, isn’t it? The price is being pushed up by a short squeeze, not by new longs entering.
The anomaly percentile is 79.6%, ranked #48 across the entire pool, with nominal change ranked #29. 24h trading volume is only 93.7M—the liquidity pool isn’t deep, so it’s easy to push the price up, but it could be just as easy to knock it down. With this kind of setup, be cautious about chasing the price. Wait for OI to move up in tandem before calling it a trend.
First, see whether price can hold above the range high. Don’t become fuel for another false breakout.
