OI and price are falling: What might be happening?
According to CoinGlass data around 13/11/2026, SHELL Futures Open Interest stood at approximately USD 3.69 million, down about 7.29% over 24 hours.
OI represents the value of derivative contracts that remain open. When both price and OI fall, one possible interpretation is that existing positions are being closed.
In this context, the closure of some Long positions could help explain the market movement. However, OI does not show whether individual positions are Long or Short, so it cannot be stated with certainty that the entire decline came from Long positions being closed.
What to watch is whether OI continues to fall or stabilizes, and how price and trading volume respond.
