How we compute it
Binance publishes at most one per symbol per second, so its count is a floor; OKX publishes an official sample. Hyperliquid has no liquidation feed: its open interest is left out of the model, and none of its liquidations are on the realized layer.
Each part is split into equal thirds at 25x, 50x and 100x.

How we compute it
A funding rate percentile of N means N% of the settlements in that venue's trailing 730 days printed at or below the current rate.
left  = count of elements in S strictly less than current
right = count of elements in S less than or equal to current
rank  = (left + right) / 2
percentile = (rank / |S|) × 100

For AI agents: the MarketTrace MCP server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets an AI assistant such as Claude or Cursor call a data source directly. The MarketTrace Crypto MCP gives it 11 read-only tools over the same pipeline as this site: 9 perpetuals on Binance, Bybit, OKX and Hyperliquid. It is free, with an email sign-in and no API key or card.

Hyblock has an API on its Professional plan. We found no official MCP server.

What you can ask it
  • What followed when BTC funding was above its 90th percentile?

    get_conditional_outcomes · what followed this condition before

  • Who got liquidated on SOL in the last 24 hours?

    get_liquidations_recent · who got liquidated

  • Is ETH positioning stretched?

    get_market_state · the whole market in one call

How it reports
The MCP reports what it can measure and self-declares how much to trust each number. It never returns a trade recommendation; it reports history and coverage-honest facts.
Each metric comes with its coverage (the venues that fed it and the history behind it), and every response states its age.
MCP methodology

It is read-only: it cannot trade and holds no exchange keys. There is no liquidation heatmap tool yet. Liquidation totals cover Binance, Bybit and OKX, because Hyperliquid has no liquidation feed.

Which one to use

When Hyblock fits better

  • You need coins outside our 9 perpetuals
  • You backtest with a large indicator set
  • You want an API with years of history

When MarketTrace fits better

  • You want the heatmap without an account or a yearly bill
  • You follow Hyperliquid funding and positioning
  • You also read footprint and order book
  • You want an AI agent to read the data over MCP, with no API key

What MarketTrace doesn't give you

Backtesting, custom indicators, coins outside our 9 perpetuals, heatmap ranges past 30 days.

FAQ

Is Hyblock free?

A free Basic account gets the first tier of indicators and the chart. The liquidation heatmap starts on Advanced, at $69 a month billed yearly.

Does Hyblock cover Hyperliquid?

Its pricing page names Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, Deribit, Phemex and Bitfinex as partners. Hyperliquid is not named.

How does the MarketTrace heatmap estimate levels?

Open interest rises open lots, each lot is split across 25x, 50x and 100x, and a level leaves the map once price reaches it. The five rules are in the methodology, and the model is versioned.

Does Hyblock have an MCP server?

We found no official one. Its API is on the Professional plan. MarketTrace has a free, read-only MCP server with 11 tools and no API key. It has no liquidation heatmap tool yet.
