I find options open interest useful because it gives me a better picture of how investors are positioning themselves across different markets. I would pay attention to Nasdaq call additions, WTI crude oil’s deferred $62 put exposure and gold positioning across different expiry dates.
However, I must remember that increasing open interest does not automatically mean investors are bullish or bearish. I need to combine options data with actual price movements, volume and market trends.
My takeaway: I use options positioning as an additional tool to understand market sentiment, identify potential support and resistance, and manage my trading risks.
