Frequently Asked Questions
What does FIL open interest tell traders?
Filecoin open interest represents the total value of outstanding perpetual futures contracts. Rising OI means new positions are being opened; falling OI means positions are being closed. The direction of OI relative to price reveals whether the trend has genuine conviction.
How does Blackperp use FIL OI data?
Blackperp processes Filecoin OI through multiple signals: raw OI level, OI delta (rate of change), OI-price divergence, and OI momentum. These feed into the positioning category, which is one of the highest-weighted inputs to FIL's composite bias.
What does rising OI with falling FIL price mean?
When Filecoin OI rises while price falls, it typically signals aggressive short positioning. This builds pressure for a short squeeze if price reverses upward, as shorts would be forced to close. Blackperp's OI-price divergence signal detects this pattern.
How reliable is the FIL long/short ratio?
The Filecoin long/short ratio from top traders provides a useful sentiment gauge but should not be used in isolation. Blackperp combines it with funding rate, OI momentum, and cross-exchange data for a more robust positioning assessment.
What is estimated leverage for FIL?
Estimated leverage measures the ratio of Filecoin open interest to market cap, indicating how much leverage is being used market-wide. Higher estimated leverage means more positions are at risk of liquidation during volatile moves.
