FTSE Perps Data — Index Category

This page aggregates perpetual futures data for global equity index contracts, covering trading volume, open interest, funding rates, and liquidation flows. Index perp data provides the most direct read on macro equity sentiment from a crypto-native perspective — SPX and NDX open interest levels indicate whether equity traders are positioned defensively or aggressively, which directly correlates with BTC and ETH risk appetite. Funding rate comparisons across index perps (SPX vs NDX vs NIKKEI) reveal which geographic markets are attracting the most leveraged speculative interest. Volume spikes in index perps around Fed decisions, CPI releases, and earnings seasons are among the most reliable cross-asset volatility signals for crypto traders to monitor.

Trading Tips for FTSE 100 Perps

GBP strength is a headwind for FTSE (many constituents earn in foreign currencies) — monitor GBP/USD when positioning FTSE perps.
