Open interest and liquidation maps

In this lesson

Use open interest, funding and estimated liquidation levels to spot crowded positioning and potential cascades.

Key takeaways

  • Leverage creates clusters of liquidation prices; maps estimate where they sit.
  • Reaching a cluster can trigger cascades of forced orders.
  • A sharp fall in open interest during a move shows leverage being flushed out.
  • High funding + record open interest + nearby long liquidations = fragile positioning.
