Please note that to derive more accurate forecasting about market movement from the current GATX's open interest, investors have to compare it to GATX's spot prices.

Conversely, if the price of GATX is decreasing and there is high open interest, that is a sign that the bearish trend will continue, and investors may react by taking short positions in GATX. So, decreasing or low open interest during a bull market indicates that investors are becoming uncertain of the depth of the bullish trend, and a reversal in sentiment will likely follow.
