Before discussing capital flows, first understand open interest.
Open interest in futures reflects the combined demand for leverage and hedging; some positions are simply used to hedge spot-market risk.
If open interest rises but spot buying doesn't follow, a rally is often driven more by leverage—and moves like this can reverse as quickly as they rise.
Leave enough room in leveraged positions; don't let a single wick stop you out.
Risk management comes first in volatile markets.
