The spot price remains flat at ₹392 while total call‑option open interest is unchanged at 1,72,26,000 contracts, indicating a neutral buildup across the major equity derivative segment. With no net increase in call OI and a stable price, neither long nor short positioning is intensifying, suggesting traders are holding existing positions throughout the current trading day.

Put‑Call Ratio

Futures OI

Futures open interest shows a zero change, indicating that the number of contracts outstanding has neither expanded nor contracted throughout the current trading cycle across all strike levels. Such flatness implies that participants are neither adding to nor withdrawing from futures exposure at this stage despite ongoing volatility in related commodity markets and global sentiment.
