OFC - Position Clusters

🧭 OFC – Position Clusters ATS-edition

Visualize where traders are positioning — and where they’re unwinding.
The OFC – Position Clusters indicator is a precision profiling tool for crypto markets, designed to highlight zones of potential position buildup and liquidation based on Open Interest Delta and a proportional model of Volume Delta.
This script reveals directional intent at key price levels by tracking where open interest and volume converge.
It offers an intuitive histogram-based view to expose:

• 📈 Long Open Clusters (green): zones where aggressive buying and new long positions dominate
  
• 📉 Short Open Clusters (red): areas of dominant short interest
  
• 📤 Long Close Clusters (purple): long-side liquidation zones
  
• 📥 Short Close Clusters (aqua): short unwinds or short squeeze exits
  

🔍 Use Cases: See the Story Behind the Price

• 🪤 Detect Trapped Traders: Spot clusters where aggressive longs/shorts built positions — only to have price reverse. These zones often lead to squeezes or forced exits.
  
• 📊 Identify Passive Accumulation: Long clusters near range lows (without price breakout) may signal stealth accumulation ahead of a move.
  
• 📈 Confirm Breakouts with Position Flow: Watch for open clusters shifting with price to validate directional conviction.
  
• 🧨 Fade Exhaustion Moves: Dense closing clusters into key resistance/support may signal end-of-move behavior or late chasers.
