First let us need to understand what is Open Interest. This is how many derivative contracts, like options or futures, that the stock exchange has not settled for an asset yet. Therefore, open interest is how many of these contracts there are open.
Long Short Build Up
Long Build Up
Here, long build-up means that more investors are taking long positions and expecting prices to rise. In the long run, the price and the number of people who want to buy it both rise.
Short Build Up
It means people are taking short positions, which means they think the price will go down. There’s a process called “short building” when the stock price drops and there are more people who want to buy it.
Long Unwinding
Long unwinding refers to selling positions or stocks that traders held for a long time, either to make money or to get out of the way of a possible downturn. A drop in prices means that there is less interest in the stock.
Short Covering
The short-covering refers to buying back the shorted securities, which means the price rises and the open interest drops.
