Documentation: Reports
Reports
Reports use public market data, so they work without any API key. They describe market conditions; none of them is a trading signal.
How the reports work
The Reports tab shows market data from public sources, so it works without any API key and describes market conditions; none of it is a trading signal.
- Symbols. The futures cards (funding, open interest, long/short ratio, liquidations, order book) switch between BTC, ETH and SOL with the selector at the top. Options data covers BTC and ETH.
- Freshness. The server refreshes most reports every few minutes; daily and weekly sources, such as Fear & Greed or the COT report, change when their publishers update them. The order book is fetched live when you open it or press its refresh button.
- Layout. Futures and market, macro and sentiment, options, and institutional data are in separate sections.
Read the figures as context. A reading such as a high funding rate or a one-sided long/short ratio tells you how the market is positioned; it does not say what price will do next.
Funding rate
Funding is the payment exchanged between longs and shorts at every funding interval, usually every 8 hours.
The chart averages the rate from Bybit, Binance and OKX and shows the last 10, 20 or 30 funding periods, as you choose. When the rate is positive, longs pay shorts; when it is negative, shorts pay longs.
A high rate in either direction means positioning is crowded on one side and holding that side costs more. It is context, not a prediction of price direction.
Open interest
Open interest is the total of open futures positions, Bybit and Binance combined.
You can choose the interval, from 5 minutes to one day. Rising open interest means new positions are being opened; falling means positions are closing. Read it together with price: a move on rising open interest involves new positions, while a sharp drop often means many positions were closed or liquidated at once. It describes activity, not direction.
Long/short ratio
The long/short ratio is the share of accounts holding long positions versus short, averaged across Bybit, Binance and OKX.
It is shown as a split bar and as a line over time, with intervals from 5 minutes to one day. 0.5 is an even split; above 0.5 means more accounts are long. An extreme reading shows one side is crowded, which raises the risk of sharp unwinds, but the ratio does not say whether or when that will happen.
Liquidations
This report shows hourly liquidations split by side: longs liquidated (red) and shorts liquidated (green), for BTC, ETH and SOL.
The source is BitMe's own recording of the live liquidation feeds of the exchanges we record: Bybit, OKX and Binance. No exchange provides a usable public history, so the chart covers the last 24 hours of what we recorded, and the caption above it shows the exact range. You can view 6, 12 or 24 hours. These exchanges only: it is not a market-wide total.
Tall red bars usually coincide with sharp drops (many longs forced out), tall green bars with sharp rises (shorts forced out). Read it next to Open interest to see how much leverage was removed.
Order book depth
This report shows live bid and ask depth for the selected symbol, with a tab per exchange: Bybit, OKX, BloFin and Binance.
It plots the cumulative size at each price level away from the mid price. A steep wall close to the current price is liquidity that can act as support or resistance; a thin book means price can move fast on little volume.
It is a live snapshot, not cached like the other reports. Reload the tab or press its refresh button to update it.
Top movers
Top movers lists the ten biggest gainers and the ten biggest losers among Bybit linear futures over the last 24 hours.
It is useful for seeing which coins are moving most right now and where momentum is rotating.
Volatility ranking
The volatility ranking lists the 15 Bybit linear futures with the widest 24-hour high/low range as a percentage of price, limited to pairs with at least $5M in 24-hour turnover.
A wide range means the coin has been moving a lot. A wide range with a flat 24-hour change usually means price swung both ways rather than trended, so check the chart.
Altcoin season index
The altcoin season index is a score from 0 to 100: how many Bybit linear futures coins outperformed BTC over the last 24 hours.
Above 75 means broad altcoin strength; below 25 means BTC is leading. It is a quick snapshot of how the market is rotating, not a forecast.
Fear & Greed index
The Fear & Greed index measures crypto market sentiment from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed). It is published daily and built from several market inputs, and the chart shows 7, 14 or 30 days, as you choose.
Some traders watch the extremes as a contrarian gauge. It measures mood; it is not a trading signal.
Market dominance
Market dominance shows the share of BTC, ETH and SOL in their combined market cap over 7, 14 or 30 days, as you choose. It covers these three coins only, not the whole market.
A rising BTC share means BTC is outperforming ETH and SOL; a falling BTC share means ETH and SOL are gaining on it.
BTC / ETH ratio
This chart shows the ratio of the BTC market cap to the ETH market cap: how many times larger BTC is than ETH.
A rising line means BTC is outperforming ETH; a falling line means ETH is outperforming BTC.
BTC / SOL ratio
This chart shows the ratio of the BTC market cap to the SOL market cap: how many times larger BTC is than SOL.
A rising line means BTC is outperforming SOL; a sharp drop means SOL is outperforming BTC.
DeFi TVL
TVL is the total value locked in DeFi across all chains, from DeFiLlama data, shown for 30 or 90 days, as you choose.
It is measured in USD, so it also moves with token prices. Rising TVL means more value is held in DeFi protocols; a sharp drop often coincides with broad market selloffs.
Options (Deribit)
This card shows Deribit options data for BTC and ETH.
- Put/Call ratio — open interest in puts divided by open interest in calls. Higher means more put positioning (often hedging or caution), lower means more calls.
- DVOL — Deribit's 30-day implied volatility index. High values mean the options market is pricing larger moves; low values mean a calmer market.
COT report
The COT report is the weekly CFTC Commitments of Traders report for CME futures, shown for 13, 26 or 52 weeks, as you choose.
Large Speculators (funds) and Commercials (producers and hedgers) are reported separately, with net position equal to longs minus shorts. Large speculators tend to follow trends and commercials tend to hedge against them; changes in net positions show how each group's exposure is shifting.

Funding rate & open interest tracker
A futures price shows where the market is; funding, open interest, the long/short ratio and liquidations show how crowded it is. The Reports tab in BitMe puts those numbers in one place, next to your own positions. It is built from public market data, so reading it needs no API key.
Liquidation & stop-loss alerts
The classic futures mistakes are quiet ones: a position opened without a stop-loss, a leveraged loss that keeps growing while you are away, a margin buffer that shrinks unnoticed. BitMe watches for exactly these and messages you on Telegram before they turn into a liquidation.
Crypto trading journal
A journal you have to fill in by hand tends to be abandoned after a few weeks. BitMe imports your closed futures trades straight from your exchanges, so the numbers are complete and you spend your time reviewing them instead of typing.
