- Interpretation:.
- Increased Open Interest (Green):.
Suggests more traders are opening new positions, which can lead to higher
volatility. If the price is rising, this could indicate bullish sentiment. However, if
many traders are opening short positions, it could also indicate bearish sentiment.
- Decreased Open Interest (Red):.
Suggests that traders are closing their positions, which can also lead to high
volatility. If the price is dropping, this could indicate bearish sentiment, but if
traders are closing short positions, it might indicate the end of a bearish trend.
- The funding rates show fluctuations, particularly around periods of significant
price changes. Red shaded areas highlight periods where the funding rates might
be indicating a shift in market sentiment (second graph).
