Cardano Sees 25% OI Jump In 24 Hours As Bulls Eye Reversal Above $1 | Bitcoinist.com
Cardano Open Interest Rises 25%
One major development for Cardano in the last few days has been the rise in attention that the altcoin has been garnering from the market. This is shown in the steady rise in the open interest of the cryptocurrency over the last few weeks, and culminating in a major jump in a 24-hour period.

This meant a 25% increase in the open interest in just a 24-hour period. This is also a long way from the $715.01 million low of May so far, especially as investors have begun to make their bets.
Generally, the open interest represents the amount of open futures or options contracts of a particular cryptocurrency. It takes into account the total amount that has been invested in ADA derivatives products at any time, taking both the long and short positions. This means that if the open interest is falling, then crypto traders are placing less bets and if the open interest is rising, then they are taking more positions in the altcoin.

This is shown by the Long/Short ratio which shows 49.71% of all bets are long and 50.29% of bets are long.
After the previous price crash, Cardano fell back into a falling wedge pattern as the altcoin traded in a tight range. Now, as the Bitcoin price has put in a new all-time high and altcoins are falling suit, Cardano is breaking out of this falling wedge pattern.
