$BIRB rose 3.84% over 15m, with volume surging to 4.16x and a Z-score of 3.36—this isn’t some fleeting pump. OI is up 4.05% over 15m and 5.07% over 1h, with notional changes piling up steadily. The anomaly percentile hit 100%, ranking second across the entire pool. Price and open interest are rising together, which clearly points to new leveraged longs entering—not a one-off short-covering rally. The close is already above the upper end of the range from the last 20 or so 5m candles. The taker buy/sell imbalance is 13.4%, and the buy/sell ratio is 1.31, making the directional bias pretty clear. 24h trading volume is just over 36M, and liquidity looks decent, but with the move extending across several consecutive periods and price already near historical extremes, chasing it is becoming less worthwhile. If you’re in, hold your position; if not, wait for a pullback and confirmation. Don’t blindly chase at this level.
