OI Buildup Pattern

The current open interest shows a neutral buildup, with price unchanged and total call OI flat. Neither the call nor put side exhibits a concurrent rise in volume, indicating that market participants are not adding to directional positions. This stability suggests a balance between new entrants and exits across both sides. Call open interest remains at 1,604,750 contracts while put open interest sits at 1,904,000, indicating marginally higher put exposure.

Put-Call Ratio

The put‑call ratio stands at 0.863, up from 0.351 the previous day. The increase reflects a relative strengthening of put contracts, though the ratio remains below one, implying that call exposure still exceeds put exposure. The shift hints at a rebalancing toward downside protection as traders adjust hedge ratios.

Futures OI

Futures open interest registers zero change for the day, showing no net addition or reduction in contracts. Such a flat futures OI signals that speculative interest in the underlying index is dormant, with participants neither expanding nor unwinding positions. Equity index futures linked to the same expiry also display a flat OI profile, reinforcing the lack of new speculative thrust.

Data Summary

The key figure for this expiry is a total call open interest of 1,604,750 contracts, unchanged from the prior session. Overall, the unchanged OI levels suggest that the market is awaiting a catalyst before initiating fresh directional bets.
