Latest figures on options open interest just dropped across major tracking platforms.



Take $MRK's April 100 calls as a case study – open interest is sliding this morning. What's interesting? Trading volumes on the 12th and 13th were roughly identical in size, yet the OI shift tells a different story.

When you see volume staying flat but open interest contracting, it typically signals position closures rather than fresh entries. Someone's taking profits or cutting exposure here.

The volume hasn't changed, but the holdings have decreased? Someone has secretly done a rug pull.
