BGeometrics' own Liquidity Stress Index (LSI): an hourly 0-100 composite of Bitcoin market stress, built from three blocks — price, flow and leverage. Each underlying feature (returns, realized volatility, taker imbalance, liquidations, open interest swings, funding, basis, long/short shifts) is normalized against its own trailing 90 days, so the index reads consistently across market cycles rather than being anchored to one regime.

Regimes: calm (LSI < 20), elevated (20-40), stress (40-60), extreme (>= 60). The chart shows the daily peak; the block breakdown (price / flow / leverage) shows which side of the market is driving that day's reading.

Own methodology, inspired by (not a copy of) Adler's Crypto Insights Local Stress Index.
