Open Interest Against 2024-12-20 FirstService Option Contracts

Although open interest is a measure utilized in the options markets, it could be used to forecast FirstService Corp's spot prices because the number of available contracts in the market changes daily, and new contracts can be created or liquidated at will.

Please note that to derive more accurate forecasting about market movement from the current FirstService Corp's open interest, investors have to compare it to FirstService Corp'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 FirstService Corp 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 FirstService. 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.
