Cryptocurrency Open Interest Screener - Monitor OI 100+ coins

Trading volume takes into account ALL completed transactions during the period (bought and immediately sold - the volume increased by 2 transactions). Open interest Only those contracts that remain open are taken into account. If Trader A buys a contract from Trader B, who closes their position, the trading volume increases, but open interest remains unchanged.

We aggregate real-time open interest data from the largest derivatives platforms: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget And CMEYou can view both the global OI and data for each exchange separately on a specific coin's page. Data is updated every 5 minutes.

This means new money is pouring into the market, but the direction hasn't yet been determined. New traders are opening positions (both long and short), but the price isn't moving. This is a sign of uncertainty ahead of a strong move. The price will likely gap up or down in the coming hours.

A healthy increase in OI is accompanied by an increase in trading volume and price movement. If OI is rising, but volume is low and the price is stagnant, this is a sign of manipulation or "puffy" traders who are opening positions without exerting real pressure on the price. Consider these three metrics together: OI + volume + price.

Because each exchange is a separate market with its own liquidity and its own audience. Binance and serve retail traders, CME — institutions and funds. If OIs on all exchanges are growing at the same rate, the trend is very strong. If they diverge, one of the segments (retail or institutions) is not in sync with the movement.

If your position is greater than 0.1% of the global OI on the exchange, it's dangerous. Example: if the OI is $50B, your position > $50M could cause slippage when entering. For mass traders: OI < $100M = очень рискованно, OI $100M–$500M = средний риск, OI > $1B = safe.

Combine three signals: (1) OI rising + (2) price rising + (3) volume rising = a strong long entry. Or vice versa: price bottoms, OI drops sharply (long squeeze), the chart shows divergence = a good entry point for a long. Don't enter on OI alone—you need two or three confirmations together.

Most likely, there was a mass closing of profitable positions (people locking in profits). This is counterintuitive, but it's a GOOD sign—traders were making a profit. Look at the price: if the price rises + the OI falls = a short squeeze. If the price falls + the OI falls = a long squeeze (clearing out the weak, then there may be an upward rebound).
