Concepts

Open Interest

Outstanding contracts in derivatives

Open Interest is the total outstanding futures/options contracts. Rising OI + rising price = new longs entering (strong bullish). Rising OI + falling price = new shorts (bearish). Falling OI = positions closing. OI at strikes reveals where smart money expects price.

🔑 Key Takeaway

Price ↑ + OI ↑ = strong trend. OI at strikes = expected support/resistance.
