"Common reading" applies the usual rule of thumb (open interest and price up = new longs, and so on; moves under 1% of open interest or 0.5% of price count as flat). It is a convention we have not tested as a signal. Binance and Bybit only - other exchanges are not included yet.

What open interest tells you

Full guide: what is open interest - futures, options and open interest vs volume.

Open interest is the value of futures positions that are still open. Rising open interest means new leverage is entering the market; falling open interest means positions are being closed or liquidated. It says nothing about direction on its own, which is why it is read next to price. Where that leverage could be forced out is modeled on the liquidation heatmap; what has actually been forced out is on live liquidations.
