Notice how at the strike price of 30 and 35 for Puts, you have volume at 22 and 7, but Open Interest at 0.
If volume is the number of trades made a day, and Open Interest is the number of contracts held by people, how on earth can Volume be greater than Open Interest? It doesn’t make sense.
Volume tells you how many trades occurred over the course of the day. Open interest is how many contracts are outstanding at that moment. So your question essentially asks how the open interest on an option can decrease---what can cause liquidation of an option? There are a few ways. These are the ones I could think of:
My guess is that one of these situations (or something similar) occurred after some trades happened. My money is on #2.
