Snapfront Funding Stress Index

The Funding Stress Index (FSI Lite) transforms raw funding rate data into a clear, intuitive stress gauge for crypto perpetual markets.

🔹 What it does:

Normalizes funding rates against their rolling baseline

Highlights extreme positive/negative funding as “stress zones”

Uses φ²-based coherence mapping for a sharper, sentiment-driven signal

Helps detect periods where traders are overpaying to stay long or short

🔹 How to use:

Add a Funding Rate feed (Bybit, Binance, OKX, etc.) to your chart.

Apply FSI Lite on top of it (Indicator on Indicator).

Watch stress levels as they enter:

🟢 High stress (positive funding) → longs paying shorts heavily, often overheated market.

🔴 Low stress (negative funding) → shorts paying longs, capitulation signals.

🟠 Neutral zone → balanced, less directional pressure.

🔹 Best for:

Identifying overheated long/short positioning

Timing entries around liquidation clusters

Adding funding context to your trading strategy
