According to CoinGlass data, the total open interest in Bitcoin futures across all exchanges is approximately $22 billion, marking the highest level since the end of the previous bull market in November 2021. Bitcoin futures contracts allow traders to buy or sell assets at predetermined prices on specified dates, and a high open interest indicates that more traders are entering into contracts, reflecting an increased demand for the underlying asset of the contracts. Open interest reflects the total value of outstanding futures contracts held by market participants. Auros Trading's Head of Dealing stated that open interest can serve as a valuable indicator for assessing short-term bullish sentiment.
