Position Build Up
Position build up describes a period in which derivatives exposure is increasing as new positions enter the market. Rising open interest is one indicator that a build up may be occurring.
Why it matters to you
A strong price move with increasing OI can indicate that new exposure is being added rather than the move being driven only by existing positions closing. The direction of that new positioning cannot be determined from OI alone.
