Short answer

How can I use AI to gauge crypto market sentiment?

Your AI pulls real-time funding rates and open interest from Bybit to identify when the market is overleveraged or trending. It correlates these two data points to spot divergences that signal potential reversals. You get a clear view of whether the crowd is too long or too short.

The outcomes

What your analysis reveals

The AI processes raw Bybit data into these specific insights.

TRENDS

Spotting momentum shifts

The AI compares open interest changes against price action to see if a move has real backing. You'll see if a breakout is a trap or a true trend.

SKEW

Identifying overleveraged crowds

By looking at funding rates, the AI flags when long or short positions are getting too expensive. This helps you spot liquidations before they happen.

DIVERGENCE

Finding price exhaustion

The AI detects when price moves up but open interest drops, suggesting the trend is dying. It highlights these gaps for your review.

HUMAN

Final trade decisions

The AI provides the data and the logic, but you decide when to enter or exit. It handles the math so you can focus on the strategy.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as your data analyst, pulling specific Bybit metrics to build a sentiment profile.

  1. Gather funding data

    The AI pulls the recent history of funding rates to see how much traders are paying to hold positions.

  3. Correlate metrics
