But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.

Open Interest Against 2026-03-20 Riley Option Contracts

Although open interest is a measure utilized in the options markets, it could be used to forecast Riley Exploration'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 Riley Exploration's options reflects these daily shifts, investors could use the patterns of these changes to develop long and short-term trading strategies for Riley Exploration 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 Riley Exploration's open interest, investors have to compare it to Riley Exploration'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 Riley Exploration 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 Riley. 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.
