$ARIA 's 15m chart is showing something interesting: as the price surged 5.13%, OI kept climbing, with 1h contract open interest jumping +5.45%, a notional increase of 1.22M USDT. This doesn't look like shorts getting squeezed so much as new leveraged longs actively entering.
Volume is 2.05x normal, and the closing price decisively broke above the range of the previous 20 5m candles. OI is at the 99.4th percentile, ranking #3 across the entire pool, and the move has continued for several consecutive periods—this kind of setup usually isn't just a one-off spike.
However, the taker buy-sell imbalance is only 0.7%, and the buy/sell ratio is 1.02, suggesting that buyers aren't chasing aggressively yet. It looks more like someone is gradually building a position near the range boundary. 24h trading volume is only 10.93M, so liquidity is thin: it can pump quickly, but it can drop just as fast.
Keep an eye on whether OI continues to build. If it stalls, that's a sign to be cautious.
