$LAB has something going on. It jumped 1.11% in 15m, volume surged to 2.88x, and OI moved up in tandem—+0.30% over 15m and +0.14% over 1h. It strongly looks like new leveraged longs are entering, not just shorts covering.
The OI anomaly percentile is 97.8%, ranking #3 across the entire pool, and it has persisted for several consecutive periods—this isn’t something a single spike can explain. The closing price is already above the upper end of the last 20 5m candles. Taker volume delta is 20.6%, and the buy/sell ratio is 1.52, so buyers are definitely pushing.
However, 24h trading volume is only 6.63M, and liquidity remains a concern, so be cautious about chasing the price higher. It’s nearing a historical extreme zone: either a breakout accelerates, or this is a bull trap. Keep an eye on OI in case it suddenly turns down.
