$US surged more than 8 points over 15m, with volume jumping to 4.87x, but OI fell instead of rising—the 1h contract positions dropped 7.34%. Price went up while open interest went down, a classic short-covering rally, not fresh longs entering.
The taker buy/sell ratio was 1.16, and the taker volume delta was 7.6%. Volume and price action were reasonably in sync, but the OI anomaly percentile has already hit 95.8%, ranking #12 across the entire pool. Chasing longs at this level doesn't offer great risk-reward; it looks more like shorts being forced to close and driving the price up.
24h trading volume is just over 65M. Liquidity is adequate, but not especially deep. My take: we're near an extreme range, so first watch whether the short-covering momentum can continue. Don't rush into a position.
