Frequently Asked Questions
What does ETH open interest tell traders?
Ethereum 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 ETH OI data?
Blackperp processes Ethereum 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 ETH's composite bias.
What does rising OI with falling ETH price mean?
When Ethereum 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 ETH long/short ratio?
The Ethereum 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 ETH?
Estimated leverage measures the ratio of Ethereum 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.
