Watching the Binance depth for $BTC right now, the best bids cluster just below $78,230 while asks sit a hair above. The Order‑Book Imbalance (OBI) metric quantifies that pressure: you sum all bid volumes and all ask volumes within a narrow band – say ±0.5 % of the last price (roughly $78,074‑$78,386). OBI = (B‑A)/(B+A). If bids total 1.5 BTC and asks 1 BTC, OBI = 0.20, indicating a modest buying bias. Flip the numbers and the sign turns negative, flagging selling pressure.
Apply the same slice to $ETH at $2,458. A near‑even 0.05 % OBI suggests the market is waiting for a catalyst rather than pushing one way. That quick read can spare you from chasing a false breakout that vanishes once a large order clears the other side.
Do you already use OBI in your entry checklist, or prefer other signals? 👍
