In Monday’s trading session, the following five stocks witnessed a build of fresh long positions. Let us first understand how this conclusion is reached whether the stock has seen a buildup of fresh long position or not. When the stock prices move up and open interest on the counter also moves upward, it is taken as a sign of a long buildup.

Some additional checks would help traders in taking better trading decisions as they increase the probability of a follow-up of the upward movement in the stock price. First, if this fresh long build has come when the stock is very close to its 52-week high, that increases the probability of the stock making an attempt to break its previous 52-week high.
Second, if this long buildup is accompanied by any bullish crossover, which means that whether in the current up move when the open interest has moved up the stock price has been able to cross either its 20, 50 or 100-day moving average.
