$BTW This move has something behind it. It surged 7.4% in 15m, with volume reaching 7.67x and a Z-score of 7.73. It also closed above the highs of nearly 20 recent 5m candles.
But here's the interesting part: OI didn't follow—15m contracts were down 0.12%, while 1h was only up 0.09%. Prices rose without an increase in open interest, which looks more like short covering and position adjustments than new longs entering. The aggressive trade imbalance was 22.9%, and the buy/sell ratio was 1.59. Buyers are definitely hitting the market, but it's unclear whether that can last.
Ranked #6 for anomalies across the entire pool and #9 for notional change, with 24h trading volume of 82M—liquidity is solid. An anomaly percentile of 84.3% means this isn't an isolated case; it's one of the stronger movers in today's pool.
For now, let's see if it can hold above the range.
