What Is Open Interest (OI), and What Market Changes Can It Help Us Understand?

In crypto derivatives trading, many people watch prices and trading volume every day but overlook another important metric: open interest, or OI.

OI can help us understand how many contracts in the derivatives market remain open and observe market participation and changes in positions. But it is not a foolproof indicator for predicting price movements; it needs to be analyzed alongside prices and other data.

First, what exactly is OI?

Open interest refers to the number of contracts that have not yet been settle

$MSTR SHORT SETUP — ANOTHER BREAKDOWN AHEAD?

$MSTR remains under bearish pressure after a massive sell-off. Price is consolidating below key resistance, with sellers still holding the advantage.

Entry: 129.25
SL: 132.70

TP1: 127.20
TP2: 126.07
TP3: 124.15
Final Target: 121.90

The sharp breakdown from 143–145 has weakened the overall structure. Buyers are struggling to reclaim 132.33, while support around 126 remains vulnerable. A breakdown below 126.07 could trigger another wave of selling.

Invalidation: A sustained move above 132.70 weakens the bearish setup.

The moment for Wall Street’s old money to hunt may really be coming
The Democratic Party is best at financial warfare; to put it bluntly, it feeds on corpses
Wall Street’s old money, represented by Buffett, may now be waiting for the funding of the tech upstarts who rose to prominence in recent years to run dry and trigger a blowup
This playbook mainly has two fronts: raising financing costs on the financial side and blocking projects on the administrative side
First front: financial predation

Nov 7 Bitcoin/Ethereum Mi Shen Weekend In-Depth Analysis

Happy weekend. The midterm elections and nonfarm payrolls are behind us, and CPI takes the baton next week. Looking back at this week’s market, let’s break it down into three phases:

Monday: A pressured start. The aftershocks of Binance’s late-October security incident had not yet faded. About $6.3 billion in assets were transferred without authorization, and the exchange said it would fully compensate users. On the first trading day after the incident, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $643 million, the largest single-day out

How much is left after all costs are deducted from a $100 profit on a trade?

Suppose you complete a trade.

Your account shows a profit of $100.

You might think the trade was a success.

But if fees, slippage, funding rates, and other trading-related costs have not yet been deducted, that $100 may not be what you actually earned.

The final result of a trade is not the profit shown on paper, but the net profit after all related costs have been deducted.

We can break this down into four aspects.

1️⃣ Trading fees: Both opening and closing a position may incur fees

Why might the recipient still not receive funds even though the transaction shows as successful?

In the Web3 world, many people encounter a puzzling problem when making transfers:

The blockchain explorer shows the transaction as successful, but the wallet has not received the assets, or the exchange platform has not credited them yet.

Some people’s first thought is that the transaction failed, some suspect the assets are lost, and others prepare to transfer again.

But before taking action, it is important to understand one key distinction:

Why did account returns differ so much when the price barely changed?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people focus on how much BTC rose or fell, while overlooking a more important question:

With the same price movement, why do some people earn more, some earn less, and others lose money outright?

The answer lies not only in market movements, but also in leverage, position size, and trading costs.

Let’s understand this with a simple example.

Suppose your trading account has 1,000 USDT.

Scenario 1: Using 2x leverage

You use 1,000 USDT as margin to open a position worth 2,000 USDT.

Can the Number of Token Holders Tell You Whether It’s Safe?

When researching a Web3 project, many people first look at a few numbers:

How many holders are there? Is the number of holders continuing to grow? Is the token already distributed across many wallets?

These figures are useful reference points, but judging a project’s safety solely by its number of holders can easily lead to the wrong conclusion.

The number of holders reflects one aspect of token distribution, not the full picture of a project’s security.

1. More holders don’t necessarily mean a healthy token distribution

The pullback long positions I repeatedly flagged yesterday rallied after several dips, with decent overall upside. Weekend volatility has been relatively low, so manage the range carefully. The multiple entries should have worked out pretty well overall. #美股史诗级抛售 #10月非农数据聚焦

🔥This Bitcoin pullback seems to hinge on two key developments: Trump taking action against Iran and going head-to-head with the Democrats, and the November 10 CPI data likely coming in bearish. With these two overhangs weighing on the market in the short term, I think the odds of a bearish move are fairly high. Looking further ahead, the AI bubble in U.S. stocks will continue to deflate little by little. It may hurt in the short term, but it’s a good thing in the long run—the abscess needs to be fully drained for the subsequent rally to have a firmer foundation. U.S. stocks have already start

AMD: The Growing Power of AI Chips, Data Centers, and Next-Generation Computing
The global technology industry is entering a new era driven by artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, cloud infrastructure, and advanced semiconductor technology. Among the companies playing an important role in this transformation is Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

U.S. stocks sold off sharply on Thursday, November 5 (UTC). The Nasdaq closed down around 5.5%, entering correction territory, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunged roughly 12%, with chip stocks including $NVDA and $AMD posting steep losses. Beyond profit-taking, investors are growing concerned about the pace of AI data center construction, capital spending, and future returns on investment. The key question now is whether the AI sector’s lofty growth expectations need to be repriced. Where do you think the next opportunities will emerge: chip stocks, tech giants, or other sectors?
