What does the Nikkei 225 data show?

1. Open interest jumped 56.70%

Perpetual funding runs at 57.49% annualised, so shorts are paying longs to keep their positions open. Funding is a crowding tax: the more one-sided the book, the more it costs to stay on that side, and the more likely the weakest hands there get squeezed out. Open interest stands at $3.3 M, up 56.70% on the move — that is the size of the leveraged book that has to be closed eventually.

Funding (annualised)−57.5%

Open interest$3.3 M

2. Nikkei 225 is mid-range after 90 days

Nikkei 225 is 38% of the way up its 90-day range, which runs from $58,674 to $73,441; over 30 days the market is −9.23%. The same headline number means something different at the top of a range than at the bottom — which is why position is worth naming.

What is next for Nikkei 225?

Dates we can verify and levels that would change the read on Nikkei 225. No project roadmaps here — only schedules that exist on-chain or in the company calendar, and thresholds measured from our own data.

Close above $73,441 (14.21% away)That is the top of the 90-day range. A daily close above it puts Nikkei 225 at a new 90-day high — the same condition that files a breakout entry in the log above.
Close below $58,674 (8.76% away)That is the floor of the 90-day range. A daily close below it undercuts the structure and would file a breakdown entry in the log above.

How often is the Nikkei 225 page updated?

Once a day: it is recomputed after the daily candle closes, and the time of the last update is printed at the top of the page. Log entries are dated by the day the event happened, not the day we published it.

Where does the Nikkei 225 data on this page come from?

From Hyperliquid directly: daily candles, open interest, funding and the on-chain positions of active large wallets. Nothing here is copied from another site's article, and no language model writes the text — the wording is generated from the numbers by fixed rules.

No. It is an algorithmic summary of measured market data from Hyperliquid — price moves, positioning, derivatives and our own model. It is not investment advice and past performance does not guarantee future results.
