Understanding Open Interest & Volume
What are Open Interest and Volume?
Open Interest (OI) is the total number of outstanding options contracts for a given strike and expiration. It represents the total number of open positions. Volume is the number of contracts traded during the current session. High OI indicates that a strike is significant, as a large amount of capital is positioned there.
How to Interpret This Data
- High OI Strikes: Strikes with unusually high open interest often act as "magnets" or barriers for the stock price, especially near expiration, due to the hedging activities of market makers.
- Put/Call Ratios: The ratio of put OI to call OI is a common sentiment indicator. A high ratio can suggest bearish sentiment (more puts than calls), while a low ratio can suggest bullishness.
- Volume vs. OI: When daily volume exceeds open interest at a particular strike, it signals that new positions are being initiated with conviction, indicating fresh interest at that price level.
Practical Applications
- Identify significant support and resistance levels based on OI concentration (often called "walls").
- Gauge market sentiment and potential for trend continuation or reversal by analyzing Put/Call ratios.
- Confirm the significance of a price level by looking for a corresponding spike in both volume and open interest.
