Calls give holders the right to buy at a predetermined price, while puts give holders the right to sell. Open interest measures outstanding contracts and indicates the accumulated scale of positions. Open interest and trading volume describe different aspects of positioning: the stock of outstanding contracts and the flow of trading activity. A larger call share of open interest alongside heavier put volume can reflect longer-term call exposure coexisting with short-term hedging or downside positioning.
