ALT’s 15m move was pretty decisive: +2.09% may not look huge, but volume hit 2.69x and the Z-score was 5.98, so this wasn’t just a random wiggle. The closing price just pushed above the upper end of the last ~20 5m candles, aggressive trade flow was +10.4%, and the buy/sell ratio was 1.23—buyers are genuinely driving this move.
OI only rose 0.01% over 15m, but was up +0.76% over 1h, with notional just over 110K. Combined with the price structure, this looks more like new leveraged longs gradually entering than shorts getting squeezed. The anomaly percentile is 78%, ranking #15 across the whole pool, and depth confirms it too: volume is above normal and price has reached the edge of the range. With 24h trading volume at 36M, the pool isn’t particularly deep, so chasing here means watching out for slippage and false breakouts. Personally, I’d first see whether it can hold a retest of the upper boundary.
