How to read this
Each group pairs today’s price change with the change in open interest. Price up with open interest up is usually called long build-up; price down with open interest up, short build-up; price up with open interest down, short covering; price down with open interest down, long unwinding.
These are conventional labels for what the two numbers did together. They describe today’s activity and do not say what happens next.
