How Liquid State Reads Open Interest

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.
