Hey everyone, what is open interest? Here’s the short version 👇
An increase in open interest means new positions are entering the market; a decrease means positions are exiting, either through voluntary closing or forced liquidation.
Rising prices with increasing open interest are often seen as a sign of new long positions entering actively, while falling prices with increasing open interest are often interpreted as a sign of new short positions entering actively.
