Open interest, funding & liquidations
The positioning context on every chart: open interest, funding with countdown, long/short ratio, and 24h liquidation totals.
The stats strip carries the positioning context for the pair you’re watching.
- Open interest — total outstanding contracts. Rising OI into a move means new positions are driving it; falling OI means positions are closing. OI building at a top is the raw material for a cascade.
- Funding + countdown — the periodic payment between longs and shorts, with time to the next exchange funding event. Persistent positive funding = crowded longs paying to stay in.
- Long/short ratio — the split of positioned accounts (e.g.
52 / 48). - 24h liquidations — total forced closures on each side (e.g.
L $109.5M · S $55.4M). A lopsided number tells you who has been getting hurt.
None of these predicts anything alone. Together with the liquidation map and VPIN they answer the question the chart can’t: who is positioned where, and how much of it is forced to act if price moves?
