OI Buildup Pattern

The market exhibits a neutral buildup, meaning that the underlying price of the stock is largely unchanged while the open‑interest (OI) remains flat. This static price‑OI relationship signals that neither new long positions nor new short positions are being added in the current expiry cycle. Consequently, the positioning is balanced, and there is no clear bias toward either side of the market.

Put‑Call Ratio

The put‑call ratio (PCR) sits at 0.579, indicating that call options are more actively traded than put options in this expiry. Compared with yesterday’s PCR of 0.664, the ratio has moved lower, reflecting a modest shift toward relatively greater call‑side activity.

Futures OI

Futures open‑interest for the expiry registers a net change of zero, showing that the total number of long and short futures contracts has remained unchanged since the previous trading session. The unchanged futures OI suggests that participants are not adjusting their underlying exposure, and the existing positions are being held through the day.
