Typically, after a significant price drop, if we observe a decrease in open interest while the price rises, it often indicates that short sellers are closing their positions. Open interest refers to the total number of outstanding contracts, including both short and long positions. When short sellers close their positions, they buy back the asset to cover their shorts, which can contribute to the price increase and open interest decrease. This reduction in open interest suggests a decrease in bearish sentiment as traders exit their short positions.
I expect a pump soon, I marked previous instances of this event on the chart.
The amount of the pump is also proportional to how long we stay in the base—the longer it takes, the higher we go.
