📊 Prices are rising—but the real question is: what is OI doing?

To understand the futures market, simply looking at candlesticks often makes you miss an important part—Open Interest (OI).

OI is the number of futures contracts that are still open.

🔹 Price ↑ + OI ↑
New positions are being added; there may be fresh participation in the trend.

🔹 Price ↓ + OI ↑
New positions are being created—check whether downside positioning is increasing.

🔹 Price ↑ + OI ↓
Open positions are decreasing; there may be an effect from short covering.

🔹 Price ↓ + OI ↓
Open positions are decreasing; long unwinding may be happening.

⚠️ But here’s the most important point—OI alone is not a long or short signal.

Look at Price + OI + Volume + Funding Rate together for a much clearer view of market positioning.

📌 When you trade futures, do you look at OI?
