Funding · OI · Squeezes

funding rate is the cost of crowding in perpetual futures — extreme positive = longs overheated, extreme negative = shorts overheated. Open interest (OI) rising while price stalls means positions are stacking, and when one side breaks, the liquidation cascade grows. Squeeze candidates are symbols where the overheated side conflicts with money flow. Recomputed every hour (latest 11/2 15:25 KST).

Which symbols appear is decided by the aggregate above. Values are updated by your browser directly from the exchanges — funding in real time from Bitget, open interest and taker flow every 5 minutes from Binance public stats. Rows not received directly keep the server value, and each card states how many rows are which.

Red: funding is positive, so longs pay shorts (long-crowded). Green: funding is negative, so shorts pay longs (short-crowded). The colours show which side is crowded, not whether price is rising or falling.

Symbols where longs pay

Positive funding = longs pay fees to shorts. The larger the value, the more crowded the buy side.

Symbols where shorts pay

Negative funding = shorts pay fees to longs. The larger the value, the more crowded the sell side.

Squeeze detections (last 24h)

Standard plan and up — 4 detection(s) in the last 24 hours. Subscription guide →

Taker dominance (last hour)

The share of all executions in which the buyer was the taker (a market buy). 50% is balance; a tilt means that side is pushing right now. Funding and open interest say “where positions stacked”; this says “who is pushing now”.

Server values (hourly aggregate)

Flow divergence (last 24h)

Symbols where top-trader positioning and the crowd diverged . It does not say which side is right — it marks where the move grows when one side folds. Multiple signals means another kind of detection (such as a squeeze) also fired on the same coin within 24 hours.

Standard plan and up — 30 detection(s) in the last 24 hours. Subscription guide →

Open interest in detail

The value of futures contracts not yet closed. Rising is neither good nor bad; it only means something next to price. The trend line is green where it rose from the previous hour and red where it fell.
