Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited Open Interest & PCR Analysis

OI Buildup Pattern

The spot index remains unchanged at ₹8,137 while total open interest is flat, indicating no net addition of contracts during today’s trading session, across all strikes and in the equity‑derivative space. With both price and OI stagnant, the market exhibits a neutral buildup, suggesting that neither long nor short participants are aggressively increasing positions and that existing traders are simply maintaining their current exposure. This equilibrium reflects a balanced stance where existing participants are holding rather than expanding their exposure, showing no clear directional bias in the order flow.

Put‑Call Ratio

The current put‑call ratio stands at 0.715, higher than yesterday’s 0.652, showing a modest shift toward relatively more puts as investors seek modest downside protection. The increase in PCR suggests a slight tilt in market sentiment toward downside protection without a dramatic change in positioning, implying that the extra puts are more precautionary than speculative.

Futures OI

Futures open interest registers zero change, confirming that the derivative market is not adding new contracts for this expiry and that net new money is absent from the futures segment. The flat futures OI reinforces the overall neutral positioning observed in the underlying spot and options segments, indicating that traders are not altering their leveraged exposure at the index level.

Data Summary

Total open interest totals 9,98,750 contracts, with 7,14,375 contracts residing in the put side.
