What this is
MetalAluminium is the most energy-hungry of the mass metals: a tonne takes so much electricity that smelters are built next to cheap power rather than next to ore. Hence the price is tied directly to electricity costs and to decisions to start or halt production. What this shows: the contract is quoted per TONNE, as on the London Metal Exchange; whenever the carbon footprint is discussed aluminium moves first, because «clean» metal needs different energy. Here it trades on MEXC and BingX.

How to read this
- Funding is a payment between longs and shorts. A positive rate means longs pay shorts: the market is crowded long.
- The rate rank shows how unusual that rate is for this particular coin: 97 means above 97% of the last month, a rare skew. Without the rank the bare number says nothing — every coin has its own normal.
- Open interest is the money sitting in positions that are still open. Rising alongside price means new money entering; rising while price falls means shorts building up.
- The OI rank is measured in contracts rather than dollars: otherwise it would drift up with price alone and claim a record where nothing changed.
- NATR shows how much a coin moves relative to its own price. High NATR with high turnover is where today's action is.
