AI Crypto Open-Interest Analysis: A Prompt That Requests Evidence and Invalidation

Open interest questions fail most often on units. Ask the AI to fix the unit before it interprets anything.

Short answer

An AI open-interest prompt should require OI in coins or contracts (not only USD), per venue and aggregated with the method stated, over a defined window alongside price change. Ask it to classify the price/OI combination (up/up, up/down, down/up, down/down), add funding and liquidations as context, and give an alternative reading. Binance's OI statistics provide both quantity and value fields, so the AI should state which it used.
