What is open interest

Open interest is the total size of all contracts that are open at the moment. It rises when new positions are opened and falls when positions are closed. Unlike volume, it does not count how much was traded – it counts how much is still held.

Frequently asked questions

What is open interest in crypto?

The total value of perpetual and futures contracts that are currently open on an exchange.

What is the difference between open interest and volume?

Volume is how much was traded in a period. Open interest is how much is still open at the end of it.

Is rising open interest bullish?

Not by itself. Rising open interest means new positions are being opened. With a rising price it supports the move up, with a falling price it supports the move down.
