Open interest in derivatives markets refers to the total number of active contracts that have not been settled or closed. It helps traders understand how much capital is currently involved in the market. When open interest increases, it often indicates new money entering the market and can confirm the strength of a trend. Conversely, decreasing open interest may suggest weakening momentum or traders closing positions. By analyzing these changes alongside price movements, traders can better interpret market sentiment. Platforms like https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/evedex provide useful data to monitor open interest and make more informed trading decisions.
