📊 Open Interest: The Hidden Force Behind Market Moves 🧲
You’ve probably seen sudden pumps or dumps that made no sense…
Let’s reveal the silent player: Open Interest (OI) 💥
⸻
🔍 What is Open Interest?
Open Interest = Total number of open futures contracts in the market — longs + shorts combined.
It shows how many people are actively trading that asset — not just price movement.
Think of it like this:
💼 OI goes up = More traders entering
📤 OI goes down = Traders closing positions
⸻
🧠 Why Should You Care?
Because it tells you where the liquidity and attention are.
More Open Interest = More fuel 🔥 for a move.
✅ Rising OI + Rising Price = Trend is strong 🟢
✅ Rising OI + Falling Price = Trend is strong 🔴
🚨 Falling OI + Price Rising or Dropping = Weak move, no support behind it 💤
