Record open interest means record disagreement: every contract is a long and a short who both think they are right, and a three-month high in contracts outstanding marks the stocks where that argument is largest. It says nothing about direction on its own — read the price trend alongside it — but the resolution of a crowded position book is rarely quiet.
