European options open interest — August 27, 2026
Where is the money positioned in European options today? This daily snapshot tracks open interest — the number of live contracts — across the European names we cover. The OI "walls" mark the strikes where option sellers are most exposed (informal support/resistance); the shifts show what moved since the last session. Context, not a trading signal.
