Recently, opportunities for short squeezes in altcoins have frequently appeared. I developed a monitoring tool using AI and successfully captured $VOXEL. This article will explain the strategy logic and how to write a prompt to create a monitoring bot.
The current cryptocurrency market is affected by macro policy uncertainties, leading to increased risk aversion and a lack of liquidity in risk assets. Large holders of altcoins are facing difficulties: it is hard to offload their positions in the spot market, where will the liquidity come from? The perpetual contract market provides the answer, creating opportunities for us to collaborate with these large holders.
I. Strategy Logic Derivation#
How do large holders exit through the perpetual contract market? Here is the step-by-step reasoning:
1. Dilemma of Large Holders#
They hold a large amount of spot positions, but the market lacks liquidity, and direct selling would trigger a price crash.
2. Solution through Perpetual Contracts#
Short sellers are forced to buy spot or contracts when they stop-loss or get liquidated, providing liquidity to large holders.
3. Attracting Short Sellers#
Large holders raise the spot price (affecting the mark price), inducing retail investors to short and take positions on perpetual contracts.
4. Negative Funding Rate Bonus#
An increase in short sellers causes the contract price to fall below the spot price, making the funding rate negative, allowing large holders to profit from the rate and price difference.
5. Exit Strategy#
Push the price to resistance levels or liquidation zones, forcing short sellers to cover their positions, allowing large holders to exit and even reverse to short.
The core of this strategy is to utilize the "buying" behavior of short sellers to create liquidity for large holders.
The essence of this strategy is to leverage the "buying" behavior of short sellers to create liquidity for large holders.
II. Core Monitoring Indicators#
Observable changes in indicators throughout the process include:
Extreme negative funding rate (high control of spot by large holders) -> Abnormal increase in OI (large holders establishing long positions) -> Continuous breakthroughs of resistance levels (seeking more long liquidity to exit) -> Long/Short Ratio decreases (retail investors being stopped out or liquidated) -> OI decreases, funding rate returns to normal levels.
To capture short squeeze signals, the following key data must be monitored:
1. Extreme Negative Funding Rate#
A large negative value (e.g., <-0.1%) indicates high control of spot by large holders, with excessive retail short participation, suggesting that large holders may be positioning long.
2. Surge in Open Interest (OI)#
A rapid increase in OI suggests that large holders are accumulating positions by receiving short positions from retail investors.
3. Breaking Resistance Levels#
Prices breaking key levels may trigger short liquidations.
4. Indicators Returning to Normal#
After short liquidations, the long-short ratio rises, OI falls, and the funding rate returns to normal, indicating that the short squeeze is nearing its end.
Among these, abnormal changes in the funding rate and open interest (OI) are leading indicators for capturing signals! They need to be closely monitored.
III. Core AI Prompt#
Is manual monitoring inefficient? Use AI and Python code to create an automated tool that captures abnormal signals in real-time and pushes alerts via Telegram Bot. The implementation steps are as follows:
1. Data Snapshot Acquisition#
Obtain key data for perpetual contract USDT trading pairs from the Binance exchange API, including:
- mark_price (mark price)
- index_price (index price)
- basis (basis)
- basis_percent (basis percentage)
- last_funding_rate (latest funding rate)
- oi (open interest)
- long_short_account_ratio (account long-short ratio)
- top_trader_account_ls_ratio (large trader account long-short ratio)
- top_trader_position_ls_ratio (large trader position long-short ratio)
- taker_buy_sell_ratio (taker buy-sell ratio)
(Note: If AI acquisition fails, refer to the official API documentation: https://developers.binance.com/docs/derivatives)
2. Scheduled Execution and Data Saving#
- Run the program every 5 minutes to obtain data for all USDT perpetual contract trading pairs.
- Save the data to data/{symbol}.csv files for subsequent analysis.
3. Abnormal Alert Logic#
Set custom trigger conditions:
When the absolute value of the funding rate > 0.1% (i.e., last_funding_rate < -0.001 or > 0.001), and the average OI of the last 3 instances / average OI of the last 10 instances > 2 (indicating a short-term surge in OI), push alerts via Telegram Bot to notify potential short squeeze signals.
With the above prompt, you can create a bot to monitor short squeeze opportunities. After capturing signals, combine them with technical analysis to set take-profit and stop-loss levels. Such opportunities persist, so deploy your bot as soon as possible!

🔥 Solutions for Accessing OKX Exchange in China#
Many exchanges' original domain names may be blacklisted, or access speed may be affected due to servers being located overseas. For ordinary users, this situation often feels overwhelming, leading to doubts about whether the exchange itself is experiencing issues. In reality, this is more about the network environment rather than a service interruption on the platform itself. To address this, exchanges like OKX and Binance typically update their backup domain names regularly to ensure users can continue accessing the official website through alternative addresses.
