$PONS This market is getting interesting.
Up 2.2% in 15m, with volume surging to over 6x. OI is up 4.35% in an hour, adding $3.1 million in notional value. This isn’t shorts covering—it’s genuinely new leveraged longs piling in: price is up, OI is up, and the taker buy ratio is 1.21. Buyers are driving it.
More importantly, the OI anomaly percentile is 99.4%, ranked #1 across the entire pool. This has persisted for several consecutive periods, with volume also above normal—it’s no longer just noise.
24h trading volume is $89.63 million. The pool ranks #10 for notional change, but #1 for anomaly level. What does that tell us? It’s not the biggest by size, but its marginal change is the most pronounced.
At 21:59, during the handover between the European and U.S. sessions, liquidity is naturally thin. A squeeze on leverage can easily trigger a directional move. It’s approaching the extreme end of its historical range. If you’re chasing longs, be clear about where your stop goes—at levels like this, it either accelerates or slaps you in the face.
Keep an eye on it for now, and see whether OI keeps building or starts to unwind.
