More open interest does not mean more bulls. Open interest tells me how much derivatives positioning is open. It does not tell me whether traders are bullish or bearish, because every long has a short on the other side. So when OI rises, the first conclusion should be: more positioning is building. Not necessarily that more bulls are entering. For example: Price rises. OI rises. That tells me new exposure is entering during the move. But I still need context. Are aggressive longs chasing price? Are shorts opening against the move? Is spot demand supporting the move? What are funding rates and liquidations showing? That distinction matters. OI measures participation and exposure, not direction by itself. @tryquantio is being built to help explore derivatives, positioning and market context across crypto, stocks and commodities conversationally. I would rather ask: “What kind of positioning is building behind this move?” Than simply: “Is OI going up?” https://t.co/Sxw0VOHcs7 https://t.co/rJDKmjdiTF #QuantAIPioneers
