Open Interest Delta – OI change for each candle
Open Interest Delta — a derivative indicator in SuperChart: the change in open interest over the bar (the current candle's OI minus the previous candle's OI). Absolute OI shows how much money is sitting in the market; Delta shows what's happening right now: money is coming in or going out.
It reads like a histogram around zero. Green bars (Delta above zero) indicate build-up: new positions are being opened, the market is increasing leverage. Red bars (below zero) indicate unwind: positions are being closed, often through a long or short squeeze. A series of green bars with a sideways price is a classic sign of accumulation before a strong move.
Delta is especially useful on lower timeframes, where absolute OI appears as a nearly flat line: a spike in Delta instantly indicates the moment of entry or exit of a large volume. A sharp red bar on a price decline indicates a cascade of long liquidations; on a rise, a short squeeze. Combined with the liquidation map, this provides a complete picture: Delta indicates "the leverage is burning out," and the heatmap indicates "at what levels."
Open Interest Heatmap — where are positions currently trading?
Open Interest Heatmap — the third OI tool in the set: a map of live positions by price levels. The indicator breaks down each increase in open interest by the candlestick prices where it occurred, and when positions close, it proportionally reduces all levels. The resulting profile shows at what prices open interest exists that has not yet been closed.
Why does a trader need this? A level with a large accumulated OI is a market pain point. Positions taken at this price are held somewhere by stops and liquidation prices; a price move far from this level leaves behind "fuel." A pair to the liquidation map: the Liquidation Heatmap shows where liquidity has already been withdrawn and where settlement clusters are, while the OI Heatmap shows where live positions are currently located. Matching levels on both maps is a powerful magnet.
On the chart: top levels are drawn as lines through the history (brighter = larger), and to the right of the last candle is a profile with dollar labels. The price bin size is adjustable—smaller for scalping, larger for daily view.
How to use Open Interest (OI) in trading?
Open Interest — is the total number of outstanding contracts (longs and shorts) on the futures market. Unlike trading volume, which simply indicates the fact of a transaction, OI shows whether money remains in the market or flows out.
💡 Practical examples of trading on open interest
⬆️ Price rises + OI rises
Strong bullish trend. New buyers are opening long positions, injecting fresh money into the market. The movement is supported by capital.
Action: Open a long position on a breakout of $45.5K, stop at $44.8K
⬇️ Price falls + OI rises
Strong bearish trend. Aggressive sellers are opening new short positions. The likelihood of a continued decline is high.
Action: Look for an entry point to continue the decline
⬆️ Price rises + OI falls (Short squeeze)
Growth due to closing of unprofitable shorts. The growth is not due to new purchases, but to the liquidation of short positions. A correction may follow the squeeze.
Action: Be careful, prepare for correction
⬇️ Price falls + OI falls (Long squeeze)
Fall due to closing of longs. The decline is caused by positions being closed at a loss. Sellers aren't opening new short positions—there could be a bottom.
Action: Wait for a rebound from the bottom, prepare for a long

⚠️ Common mistakes traders make when working with open interest
❌ Mistake 1: "High OI = price will definitely go up"
✅ The OI only shows that there's money in the market. It doesn't indicate direction. An upward price movement plus a rising OI are also needed to confirm a bullish trend. Without price movement, the OI is simply "stuck" traders.
❌ Mistake 2: "OI dropped 50% = now there's a collapse and liquidations"
✅ A drop in OI could indicate a long squeeze—traders closing profitable positions after taking profits. The price could rise, but the OI could fall. This is a good sign, not a bad one!
❌ Mistake 3: "I see OI rising, I immediately go long."
✅ The OI lags the price by 1-4 hours. By the time you see the OI rising, the price may have already reversed. Use the OI as a trend confirmation, not as a primary entry signal.
❌ Mistake 4: “I don’t look at different exchanges, I only take Binance OI"
✅ When OI grows only by Binance, and on CME falls - this is a red flag. Institutions (CME) know about the reversal before retail (Binance). Always compare exchanges with each other.
Data Methodology
We collect open interest from derivatives platforms using our own scrapers. Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, CME — and normalize it to dollars at the current contract price. The global coin value is the sum across exchanges; the history is stored in our database, and the data is updated approximately every 5 minutes.
There are no third-party APIs in this chain: the page, chart, and screeners read the same source, so the numbers between sections of the site always match. The relationship between OI, price, and liquidations is in A guide to the four OI scenarios.
