FET: Leverage Gauge: Component Scores
Included with Plus.
The scores (0-100) of each component of the Fetch.ai leverage gauge.
Why use it. Shows what is behind the reading: a high gauge from funding alone reads differently from one where open interest, positioning and a nearby liquidation cluster all agree. How to read it. Each line is a component's score against its own past year: open interest scores high when it is large for the coin's size, the liquidation cluster when it is near, and funding, basis and positioning when they are far from their usual level in either direction. A component without a line at an hour did not score then.
Calculation. A 0-100 reading of how stretched Fetch.ai leverage is, from 3 components: open interest against market cap: the perpetual open interest across the venues we collect as a percent of market cap (our price times the circulating supply from our own node or token records); higher is more stretched; funding: Binance's and Bybit's settled funding, each settlement as an eight-hour rate, averaged over the last 24 hours and then over the two venues; far from its usual level in either direction is more stretched; the nearest large liquidation cluster: how far the nearer of the two densest 0.5% bands of our calibrated liquidation map (the densest below and the densest above the price, within 15%) sits from the price, to the band's centre; nearer is more stretched. Each component's hourly reading is ranked among the coin's own readings of the trailing 365 days, the hour included, once it has at least 30 days of them: rank = 100 x (readings below + (equal readings - 1) / 2) / (readings - 1). One-sided components score their rank (open interest) or 100 minus it (the liquidation cluster); two-sided ones score |2 x rank - 100| (funding, basis, accounts, Hyperliquid), since a crowd leaning hard either way is stretched. The gauge is the mean of the scores present, published when at least three components score and one of them is open interest or the liquidation cluster. Bands on the rounded gauge: low 0-39, elevated 40-59, high 60-74, extreme 75-100. No look-ahead: every window ends at the hour it scores; an hourly input missing for an hour keeps its previous reading for at most two hours; supply is the previous day's. The liquidation map is our own model replayed over history with one fitted leverage mix. History is recalculated from the inputs as stored now. The daily value is the day's last hour; the open hour and day are provisional. Not in FET's reading (never collected, or fewer than 30 days of readings so far; the coin's leverage page says which): futures basis, long/short accounts, hyperliquid large accounts.
