COPT Defense Properties (CDP) Options Open Interest

Monitoring CDP open interest helps you see where real money is positioned on COPT Defense Properties's options and which strikes are attracting the most commitment from traders. COPT Defense Properties's open interest reflects the total number of outstanding contracts that have not been closed or exercised, making it a powerful gauge of liquidity, conviction, and potential support and resistance zones.

Open interest is distinct from volume: volume counts how many contracts are traded in a session, while open interest counts how many remain open at the end of the day. Rising CDP options open interest alongside rising volume suggests new positions are being built, while falling open interest signals positions are being closed. Heavy open interest at specific strikes often acts as a magnet near expiration and can hint at where dealers and large traders expect COPT Defense Properties to settle.
