Reading BTC microstructure
BTC is one of the most liquid markets on Hyperliquid, so its book is deep and its tape is fast. That makes BTC a clean microstructure read: pressure shows up in the order book and the flow before it shows up on price. vyx reads the live order book, the executed trade tape, and derivatives positioning for BTC — the cause behind the price move, not just the candle it leaves.
BTC funding rate
Funding is the recurring payment between longs and shorts that tethers the BTC perpetual to its index price. Positive funding means longs are paying shorts — crowded longs; negative means the reverse. Read BTC funding as a crowding gauge, not a timing signal: stretched funding raises squeeze risk but can persist through a trend.
BTC open interest
Open interest is how many BTC positions are currently live. The change is the tell: rising open interest into a move means new money is backing it (conviction); falling open interest is an unwind — short covering or longs closing, not fresh bets. Pair BTC OI change with price and funding to separate a real push from a hollow one.
BTC order flow & CVD
The order book shows intentions; the tape shows what executed. vyx tracks BTC cumulative volume delta (CVD), taker sweeps, and the largest prints live — so you can see aggressive buyers lifting offers or sellers hitting bids, and spot absorption when heavy BTC flow fails to move price.
BTC order-book imbalance
Order-book imbalance measures how one-sided BTC's resting liquidity is — more bids than asks (buy pressure) or more asks than bids (sell pressure). Combined with the microprice (the liquidity-weighted fair value), it is the fastest read on near-term BTC pressure, often before price reacts.
