Term explained: What does open interest mean?
Open interest is generally tallied separately for each contract. Here, it refers to open interest in Binance USDⓈ-M perpetual contracts, not the total across all platforms.
When open interest rises but spot trading volume doesn’t keep pace, a rally may be more reliant on leverage—and moves like this can fade as quickly as they arrive.
Unusually high readings are often accompanied by sharper price swings. In such conditions, it’s better to reduce leverage rather than make a big bet.
