🤔📈 Open Interest (OI) is the total count of open futures contracts. It shows fresh money entering (rising OI, increasing conviction) or leaving (falling OI, fading conviction).
Combined with price: Price up + OI up? Strong, confirmed uptrend from new buyers. That's robust. But price up + OI *falling*? Big warning. It's usually short covering or long profit-taking, not fresh capital. I chased these "moon" pumps early on and got burned.
Practical signal: If price rallies but OI drops significantly, be cautious. It's likely a squeeze or existing positions closing, not sustainable new demand. Reduce exposure or look for reversals. Saved me from many fake pumps.
