$CAKE Volume surged 14.8x in 5 minutes, and price closed higher along the upper edge of nearly 20 recent 5m candles. OI kept rising, with net inflows on both the 15m and 1h timeframes. It ranked 4th among all-pool anomalies, at the 96.8th percentile. Structurally, this looks more like new leveraged longs entering than shorts covering.
However, the taker flow difference was -5.8% and the buy/sell ratio was 0.89. Price is rising, but aggressive selling remains strong, so be cautious about chasing the move. 24h trading volume was only 5.9M and market depth is thin, making this kind of volume-backed breakout prone to false moves. Waiting for a pullback confirmation would be safer.
