Crowdedness Index
0 coins · 0-100 scalePer-coin positioning crowdedness. Combines funding rate magnitude, 7-day OI momentum, and Binance long/short ratio into one 0-100 score. Above 70 + long bias = crowded long, fade fuel. Above 70 + short bias = crowded short, squeeze fuel. Below 30 = balanced.
Sampling positioning across coins (~10s)…
How to use it: when you see a coin scoring 70+ on the long side, the trade is crowded — funding is high, OI is ballooning, and retail is piled in. That's usually fade fuel. Crowded short is the opposite — short squeezes form here. Caveat: crowded can stay crowded longer than your stops survive. Pair this with /cycle-phase for regime context.
