You'll also see the total sizes of Long and Short positions, along with the 1-hour funding fee for Longs and Shorts.
Below the key data, you'll find a chart that tracks the price of the pairing over a period of your choosing, with additional information such as the 24-hour open, high, low, and close prices.
