$BTC — When Price Moves AND Open Interest Expands (Read This Carefully)
After holidays or low-liquidity periods, markets often “wake up” fast.
Price starts moving again — but price alone is never the full story.
The real question is participation.
That’s where Open Interest (OI) comes in.
When price moves with Open Interest expanding, it tells us something important: → New positions are being added
→ Capital is committing
→ The market is no longer empty
But here’s the mistake most traders make:
OI expansion does NOT confirm direction.
It only confirms engagement.
At this stage, the market is asking a question: Who is right — and who will be forced out?
What matters next is behavior, not hope:
• If price holds structure while OI stays elevated
→ Positions are comfortable
→ Continuation becomes possible
• If price stalls or pulls back while OI starts dropping
→ Positions are being closed
→ Fuel is leaking out
→ Traps often form here
This is why professionals don’t rush. They observe how price reacts to participation, not candles in isolation.
Big moves are not born from excitement.
They are born from pressure building quietly.
Read the interaction. Respect the process. Protect your risk.
The market always shows its hand —
but only if you’re patient enough to watch.
