Open interest measures outstanding derivative contracts. A spurt is an unusual change, not a direct statement of bullish or bearish intent.

Read price and OI together

The same OI change can have different interpretations depending on price, volume, contract and market conditions.

Use as supporting context

Tez Signal uses OI activity to enrich a shortlist rather than replace chart review.

Limitations

OI can be affected by rolls, expiry and hedging. Confirm the contract and timestamp before drawing conclusions.

Risk reminder

Use this information for software orientation and independent review. It is not a buy, sell or hold recommendation, and no condition or score assures an outcome.
