Key Strike Levels

The open‑interest profile shows a pronounced cluster around the 1860 and 1900 call strikes, together with a matching build‑up at the 1800–1860 put strikes. These concentrations suggest a market‑expected price corridor roughly between ₹1800 and ₹1920 for the September expiry. The 1860 level acts as a pivot, with significant call OI above and put OI below, indicating a potential range‑bound bias.

OI Buildup Activity

During the latest reporting window, fresh call open interest adds of 86,650 contracts at 1860, 60,050 at 1900, and 46,775 at 1920 highlight aggressive positioning by option writers. On the put side, additions of 75,525 contracts at 1860, 50,350 at 1800, and 35,150 at 1840 reflect accumulating protection by hedgers. The simultaneous inflow on both sides points to a balanced stance, with market participants preparing for volatility around the identified strike band. The aggregate new open interest of roughly 355,000 contracts across the highlighted strikes underscores a heightened sensitivity to price movement, suggesting that traders are closely monitoring potential breakout scenarios near these levels.

Volatility Read

The at‑the‑money implied volatility stands at 18.23 %, modestly elevated relative to the underlying’s recent realized volatility. The volatility skew is bearish, with out‑of‑the‑money calls priced higher than equivalent puts, implying a slight downside bias in option pricing.

Key OI Levels

The highest open interest resides at the 1860 call strike (1,000 contracts) and the 1860 put strike (1,000 contracts), marking them as primary resistance and support zones respectively.
