OI Buildup Pattern

The current buildup registers as neutral, meaning that despite the spot price holding steady at ₹1,840, the open‑interest (OI) has not moved appreciably. A flat price coupled with unchanged OI suggests that neither long‑side accumulation nor short‑side accumulation is dominant in this expiry. Consequently, the market participants appear to be holding their existing positions rather than adding to either side.

Put‑Call Ratio

The put‑call ratio (PCR) stands at 0.629, indicating that call options are more heavily traded than puts, albeit not at an extreme skew. Yesterday’s PCR was 0.655, so the ratio has tightened slightly, reflecting a modest shift toward relatively higher call activity.

Futures OI

Futures open‑interest for the current expiry is zero, with no net change reported. The absence of futures OI movement implies that market participants are not taking directional bets via the underlying futures contract, reinforcing the overall neutral stance observed in the options market.

Data Summary

The headline figure for this expiry is the total call OI of 1,89,41,575 against a put OI of 1,19,08,725, producing the 0.629 PCR while the overall OI remains flat.
