How it's counted. Price is each coin's largest perpetual market by open interest. Open interest and 24h volume are summed over every exchange tracked; funding is the OI-weighted average per 8 hours. Liquidations are the coin's long and short liquidations in the last 24h across the exchanges that publish them. Volatility uses Binance USDT perpetual daily candles. The charts divide each coin's hourly price or open interest by its value at the start of the range, so both lines start at 100.
