Frequently Asked Questions
What does TON open interest tell traders?
Toncoin open interest represents the total value of outstanding perpetual futures contracts. Rising OI means new positions are being opened; falling OI means positions are being closed. The direction of OI relative to price reveals whether the trend has genuine conviction.
How does Blackperp use TON OI data?
Blackperp processes Toncoin OI through multiple signals: raw OI level, OI delta (rate of change), OI-price divergence, and OI momentum. These feed into the positioning category, which is one of the highest-weighted inputs to TON's composite bias.
What does rising OI with falling TON price mean?
When Toncoin OI rises while price falls, it typically signals aggressive short positioning. This builds pressure for a short squeeze if price reverses upward, as shorts would be forced to close. Blackperp's OI-price divergence signal detects this pattern.
How reliable is the TON long/short ratio?
The Toncoin long/short ratio from top traders provides a useful sentiment gauge but should not be used in isolation. Blackperp combines it with funding rate, OI momentum, and cross-exchange data for a more robust positioning assessment.
What is estimated leverage for TON?
Estimated leverage measures the ratio of Toncoin open interest to market cap, indicating how much leverage is being used market-wide. Higher estimated leverage means more positions are at risk of liquidation during volatile moves.
