Live Bitcoin futures open interest with 20-day percentile rank and estimated leverage intensity. Tracks whether the derivatives market is overleveraged or compressed. For educational purposes only.
Open interest (OI) measures the total number of outstanding BTC perpetual futures contracts. Rising OI means new money is entering the market — either new longs or new shorts. Falling OI means positions are being closed. High OI at extremes historically precedes sharp moves.
The 30-day percentile rank shows where today's OI sits relative to the past 20+ days of hourly readings. A percentile ≥ 75 (ELEVATED) signals the market is carrying more leverage than 75% of recent hours — historically associated with higher volatility and sharper corrections.
The estimated leverage ratio (ELR) approximates BTC open interest as a fraction of the total circulating supply. A higher ELR suggests a larger portion of circulating BTC is being used as leverage in the derivatives market.
