The basics, in plain English

What is open interest?

The total value of derivative contracts still open. Rising open interest with a rising price means new money is entering long; rising open interest with a falling price means the opposite, and both usually end in the same place.

What is a funding rate?

A periodic payment between long and short holders of a perpetual futures contract that keeps its price near spot. Persistently high funding means longs are paying to stay in, which is a crowding signal.

Why do we not publish price targets?

Because nobody can produce one with a defensible method, and a number in a headline is read as a forecast whatever the disclaimer says. We report what is measurable and let the reader draw the conclusion.
