Hot altcoin – OI surges, speculation is being activated

Observing the top gainers and OI% changes in the last 4 hours, I see a quite clear signal: short-term speculative money is returning, especially with small-cap altcoins. However, instead of looking at the percentage increase, I focus on the combination of price and OI to evaluate the "heat" of each name.

1. FAI – Leading short-term wave

Price up +32.86%, OI up +138.58%

This is a very strong OI increase, reflecting leveraged money flowing into FAI with the expectation of a breakout. But precisely because OI is rising too quickly, the risk of being forced to long or being shaken out is also higher. Personally, I assess FAI as a true speculative coin – if there is an entry, it should be closed quickly, not held long.

2. HOUSE, TOMI – Midcaps attracting money

HOUSE: +11.87% price, +24.31% OI

TOMI: +15.13% price (not in the top OI but stable volume)

These two names have a fairly clear price structure, OI is not too volatile – suitable for trading according to short-term trends. I particularly pay attention to HOUSE because it appears on both lists, indicating a certain interest from both traders and large capital.

3. 10000SATS – The market is watching

Price up +7.12%, OI up +23.11%

Not too outstanding but making it to both lists shows that this coin is entering the initial phase of money flow. For me, 10000SATS is suitable for monitoring breakout or breakout-fakeout at the nearest resistance area.

Personal strategy:

I do not fomo with coins that have increased more than 30%. Prioritize coins with steadily increasing OI but price has not surged strongly. If BTC maintains the trend or stabilizes sideways, altcoins may still have one last push. But if BTC adjusts, those coins with strong OI increases will be the first to see liquidity withdrawn.
