Open Interest
derivatives_open_interestCurrent market-wide (cross-exchange aggregate) open interest (USD) for one coin's perpetuals, with its 24h and 7d change, the 24h price change, AND the underlying 4h-bucket series. Read OI against price: price up on rising OI is new money opening positions, price up on falling OI is short covering — opposite trades off the same price move. The series makes that read available bucket by bucket instead of once per day (pair it with market_candles at 4h for the price leg), and carries the window's own low/high so the current level can be judged against where it has actually been. Falls back to a single-venue figure if the aggregate source is offline. Set 'points' to trim the series (omit for the full ~10-day window; 0 to suppress it).
