A long liquidation is a forced sell (bearish); a short liquidation is a forced buy (bullish). Clusters of liquidations often mark local turning points.
Bitcoin Funding Rate
The funding rate is a periodic payment between long and short perpetual-futures holders that keeps the perp price pinned to spot. Positive funding = longs pay shorts (long-biased market); negative = shorts pay longs. Persistently high positive funding signals over-leveraged longs and rising squeeze risk.
Binance settles funding every 8 hours. We show the current rate, its annualized equivalent, and a 48-hour history so you can spot when leverage is building up on one side.
Bitcoin Open Interest
Open interest is the total USD value of outstanding Bitcoin futures contracts. Rising OI with rising price = new longs; rising OI with falling price = new shorts; falling OI = positions closing. It is the clearest gauge of how much leverage is in the market.
Long / Short Ratio
The long/short ratio shows how many trader accounts are long versus short. Extreme readings are contrarian: when almost everyone is long, the market is primed for a long squeeze. We pair the global account ratio with the taker buy/sell ratio.
Key Takeaways
- Funding rate reveals which side is paying to hold their position — high positive funding = crowded longs.
- Open interest measures total leverage; watch OI + price direction together.
- Long/short ratio at extremes is a contrarian squeeze signal.

Frequently Asked Questions
The funding rate is a periodic payment exchanged between long and short holders of perpetual futures to keep the perp price tethered to spot. A positive funding rate means longs pay shorts (the market is long-biased); negative means shorts pay longs (short-biased). Binance settles funding every 8 hours. Persistently high positive funding often signals an overheated, over-leveraged long market that is vulnerable to a long squeeze.
Open interest (OI) is the total value of outstanding Bitcoin futures contracts that have not been closed. Rising OI with rising price means new money is entering long; rising OI with falling price means new shorts. Falling OI means positions are being closed. OI is one of the clearest measures of how much leverage is in the market. OpenLiquid shows live BTC open interest in USD plus a 48-hour history.
The long/short ratio compares how many trader accounts are positioned long versus short. A ratio above 1 means more accounts are long; below 1 means more are short. Extreme readings are contrarian signals — when almost everyone is long, there is little fuel left to push higher and the market is primed for a squeeze. We show Binance's global account ratio plus the taker buy/sell ratio.
