OI Buildup Read
Neutral buildup prevails with spot unchanged and total OI flat, indicating balanced positioning. Neither fresh longs nor shorts are entering aggressively, reflecting market indecision ahead of key levels. Signal strength is weak due to no volume-driven conviction.
Put-Call Ratio Signal
PCR holds steady at 0.72, remaining below the 0.7 threshold, signaling bearish contrarian sentiment. No shift from the prior day underscores persistent put-side dominance without intensification.
Futures Confirmation
Futures OI is zero with no open positions, eliminating directional confirmation from the futures segment. This absence prevents alignment with options data, leaving bias reliant solely on OI structure.
Bias for Tomorrow
Bearish bias prevails with the breakdown invalidation at ₹2260.
