OI Patterns panel
Pairs where the open-interest vs. price relationship triggered one of the four canonical OI patterns (LONG BUILD, SHORT BUILD, SHORT COVER, LONG FLUSH). Same logic as the chart-level OI/CVD Pattern indicator, scanned across the universe.
The OI Patterns screener scans the symbol universe for pairs where the open-interest vs. price relationship triggered one of the four canonical OI/CVD patterns:
| Pattern | Read |
|---|---|
| LONG BUILD | New longs opening; trend up confirmed. |
| SHORT BUILD | New shorts opening; trend down confirmed. |
| SHORT COVER | Shorts closing into buying; rally is weak. |
| LONG FLUSH | Longs capitulating into selling; expect bounce. |
The screener saves you from running the chart indicator across hundreds of pairs by hand — same detection, multi-symbol, one page.

Filters
- Pattern — multi-select.
- TF — multi-select.
- Min OI change % — only show strong builds / unwinds.
- Quote — USDT / USDC / etc.
- Min 24h vol — illiquid filter.
Workflow
- Filter to LONG BUILD on 1H+ TF — find pairs with quality long bias.
- Cross-check the chart for entry zone (S/R, EMA pullback).
- Set alert or subscribe autotrade.
For shorts:
- Filter to SHORT BUILD on 1H+ TF.
- Same drill-down.
Common pitfalls
- Trading SHORT COVER chips as bullish — they're weak rallies. Don't chase.
- Treating every LONG BUILD as a buy — pattern says positioning agrees with direction; you still need entry confirmation.
- Filter TF too short — 1m/5m patterns are noisy. Default to 15m+.
