Open Interest & Liquidations

Rides the same funding data at zero extra cost — a heads-up that leverage is building before a move, with the funding-rate skew built right in.

⚠️ OI DIVERGENCE: SOL on GATEIO Open interest jumped 15.0% (z=4.80) while price moved only 0.30% — heavy two-sided leverage building without a move yet. Now $42.0M total OI. Funding is positive (longs paying shorts) — the build-up skews long, more vulnerable to a downside squeeze if price weakens. Not a direction call by itself — a heads-up that volatility is likely coming. Watch for the breakout, don't guess ahead of it.

How it's actually detected

Open-interest divergence detection rides the same funding and open-interest data Squelch already collects for funding alerts, at zero extra cost. When OI spikes but price stays flat (heavy two-sided leverage building before a move), you get a heads-up with the funding-rate skew built right in, so you know which side is more exposed.

💥 LIQUIDATION CLUSTER: BTC (OKX) $3.4M liquidated in the last 5 min across 41 orders. 85% longs liquidated — forced selling, often extends a downmove.

Sample numbers, real message format.

Squelch listens to OKX's live liquidation stream. When more than $1M of leveraged positions on one coin get force-closed within 5 minutes, you get one message for the whole cascade (not one per order), saying whether longs or shorts got hit. Also on by default, with a 30-minute cooldown per coin.
