OI Buildup Read

Neutral buildup prevails with unchanged total open interest and flat price action, indicating equilibrium between longs and shorts. Neither fresh momentum nor significant unwinding is observed in the options chain. Signal strength is low, reflecting market indecision ahead of key expiry.

Put-Call Ratio Signal

PCR holds steady at 0.7, signaling bearish contrarian sentiment as put dominance persists. No shift from the prior day reinforces sustained downside bias among traders.

Futures Confirmation

Futures open interest stands at zero with no positional build-up, failing to confirm any directional commitment. Lack of futures participation undermines the bearish options tone, suggesting limited follow-through risk.

Bias for Tomorrow

Bias remains rangebound with bearish lean; invalidation at ₹605 breaks near-term downside structure.
