This 15m move in $IOST is interesting. The gain of 1.63% isn't huge, but volume surged to 1.70x, with a buy/sell ratio of 2.02 and an aggressive trade imbalance of 33.8%—clearly, buyers are driving the move. OI is up 0.45% over 15m and 0.21% over 1h. With price rising as leveraged longs enter, the structure points more toward new leveraged participation than a short-covering squeeze. The closing price has just broken above the highs of the last 20 5m candles, reaching the edge of the recent range. Its anomaly percentile across the full pool is 89.3%, ranking #13, and it also passes the depth confirmation: volume is above normal and aggressive trades are skewed to the buy side. 24h trading volume is 45.4M, so liquidity isn't especially deep. An anomaly of this size is worth watching to see whether the price can hold.
