Open interest (OI) counts how many futures or options contracts are live in the market right now — every open long is matched by an open short, so OI measures the total capital committed, not the trading volume. Rising OI means new money is entering positions; falling OI means positions are being closed.
Combined with price, OI tells a story: price up with rising OI suggests a trend backed by fresh conviction, while price up with falling OI suggests short covering that may not last. Sharp OI drops often mark liquidations or capitulation.
Ejemplo
Price breaks out and open interest jumps 20% the same day — new longs are funding the move, not just shorts covering.
