In futures trading, a buyer and seller agree to trade an underlying asset at a certain price on a future date. The buyer is obligated to purchase the asset, while the seller is obligated to sell it. This can be used to hedge against price changes in the underlying asset, or to speculate on future price movements. Options trading is similar, but it gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a certain price on or before a certain date. The buyer of an option pays a premium for this right. There are two main types of options: calls, which give the buyer the right to buy an underlying asset, and puts, which give the buyer the right to sell an underlying asset. Options can be used for hedging or speculation, as well as for creating more complex trading strategies.

Open interest is a measure of the number of outstanding option or futures contracts that have not been settled or closed. It represents the number of contracts that have been initiated, but not yet liquidated by an offsetting transaction or fulfilled by delivery. Open Interest is a commonly used metric in options and futures trading, it can be found on most trading platforms, and it can provide valuable information for traders to analyze the market sentiment and liquidity of the underlying assets.
Open Interest (OI) Build-up refers to a situation where there is a significant increase in the open interest of a particular option contract. Open interest is the total number of outstanding contracts that have been bought or sold but have not yet been settled or closed. An increase in open interest can indicate a growing interest in the underlying asset, and can be a sign of increased buying or selling activity in the market.
An OI build-up can be observed in both call and put options and it can be an indication of market participants positioning themselves for a potential price move in the underlying asset. A build-up in call options OI suggests a bullish sentiment and a build-up in put options OI suggests a bearish sentiment.
Traders can use OI build-up as a way to gauge market sentiment and identify potential buying or selling opportunities. For example, if there is a significant build-up in call options OI, it may indicate a good opportunity to buy the underlying asset, while a build-up in put options OI may indicate a good opportunity to short sell the underlying asset.
