Open Interest
The platform treats OI as a leverage meter, not a directional signal by itself.
Identify when a trend is being fueled by fragile leverage.
What would make this reading meaningful?
Compare the visual with funding rate and liquidations, then ask whether the move fits the current cycle.
Watch for aggressive OI expansion while price rises. If the long side is crowded, the market can build fuel for a trap, correction, or liquidation cascade.
Cycle context
Most dangerous late in a bull advance, especially when attention and funding rise together.
False positive
Rising price and rising OI can be healthy participation early in a trend.
Best timeframes
4h and 1d for context; 15m and 1h for execution timing.
