Options Open Interest
What Is Options Open Interest?
The total number of outstanding Bitcoin options contracts. Shows the total notional value of calls and puts across exchanges like Deribit, CME, and others.
How to Interpret
High OI at specific strike prices creates 'gravity' or 'pinning' effects around those levels. The put/call OI ratio indicates overall market positioning (hedging vs. speculation).
