Although open interest is a measure utilized in the options markets, it could be used to forecast RPC's spot prices because the number of available contracts in the market changes daily, and new contracts can be created or liquidated at will. Since open interest in RPC's options reflects these daily shifts, investors could use the patterns of these changes to develop long and short-term trading strategies for RPC stock based on available contracts left at the end of a trading day.
Please note that to derive more accurate forecasting about market movement from the current RPC's open interest, investors have to compare it to RPC's spot prices. As Ford's stock price increases, high open interest indicates that money is entering the market, and the market is strongly bullish. Conversely, if the price of RPC is decreasing and there is high open interest, that is a sign that the bearish trend will continue, and investors may react by taking short positions in RPC. So, decreasing or low open interest during a bull market indicates that investors are becoming uncertain of the depth of the bullish trend, and a reversal in sentiment will likely follow.
