$MET This move is pretty interesting: it’s only up 1.32% on the 15m, while OI has been climbing steadily across both the 15m and 1h timeframes. Its anomaly percentile has shot up to 97.6%, ranking second across the entire pool.
Price and OI are rising together—a classic sign of new leveraged longs entering, not just shorts covering. The taker volume imbalance is 25.1%, the buy/sell ratio is 1.67, and the funding rate has already reached a high percentile compared with recent levels, showing that bullish sentiment is genuinely heated.
But the closer it gets to historical extremes, the more cautious you should be—the more leverage piles up, the faster things can get squeezed later. 24h trading volume is only 12.64M, so the pool isn’t very deep. If you chase longs at this level, don’t skimp on your stop-loss.
