What you’ll see
The Market Overview dashboard is organized into cards, each showing a key indicator with its current value, 24-hour change, and a sparkline for recent trend.BTC Price
Current Bitcoin spot price in USD with 24h percentage change. The sparkline shows intraday movement.
ETH Price
Current Ethereum spot price in USD with 24h percentage change. Useful for gauging altcoin sentiment relative to BTC.
Funding Rate
The annualized funding rate for BTC perpetual futures. Positive means longs are paying shorts (bullish crowding); negative means shorts are paying longs (bearish crowding).
Open Interest
Total open interest in BTC futures contracts across Binance. Rising OI with rising price confirms trend conviction; rising OI with flat price signals an incoming move.
Positioning Score
A long/short ratio derived from Binance Futures account data. Values above 50 indicate net long positioning; below 50 indicates net short positioning.
DXY (Dollar Index)
The US Dollar Index, proxied through the Federal Reserve’s trade-weighted dollar index (DTWEXBGS). A rising DXY is typically a headwind for crypto.
Reading the dashboard
The cards are designed to be scanned in seconds. Focus on the 24h change values first — they tell you what moved. Then glance at the sparklines — they tell you how it moved (gradual drift vs. sharp spike). If something catches your eye, open the AI Chat and ask for a deeper explanation.Data sources

Tips
- Compare BTC price direction with funding rate direction. If price is rising but funding is flat or negative, the move has room to run. If price is rising and funding is spiking, the move is getting crowded.
- Watch OI divergences. Price making new highs while OI declines means the rally is built on closing shorts, not new longs — it tends to be less durable.
- DXY is a slow-burn indicator. It won’t predict the next hour, but sustained DXY strength above 105 has historically correlated with crypto weakness over weeks.
- Use the Home page as a triage tool. Scan it first, then ask the AI Chat for context on anything that looks unusual.
