Day Eighty-Nine · Open Interest Is Quietly Growing
When the river surface freezes, you can’t see the water flowing.
But beneath the ice, fish are swimming, aquatic plants are growing, and pebbles are being worn rounder by the water flow. You stand on the shore, and you can see nothing. Only the occasional crack of ice—snap—like the river has turned over.
Open the Open Interest indicator; that line is also beneath the ice.
Price moves sideways—can’t rise, can’t fall. The candlesticks look frozen, making people drowsy. But when you check the Open Interest, it’s quietly growing. Not for a day or two—over many consecutive days, crawling upward little by little.
What does this mean? It means someone is quietly positioning themselves. Not the kind of people who chase rallies and sell off drops, but those who don’t say anything, don’t shout call-outs—who slowly add positions beneath the ice.
In these past eighty-plus days, my follower count hasn’t gone up; it’s even dropped a few. Like the price staying stuck there, nobody wants to take a second look. But I know the ones who stayed are that slowly rising line in the Open Interest. You don’t make a sound, yet you’re more steadfast than anyone. #WCTC交易王PK
