ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited Open Interest & PCR Analysis

OI Buildup Pattern

The open‑interest remains unchanged while the spot price is flat, indicating a neutral buildup across all strikes and expiries. Neither long nor short positions are expanding, as price movement and OI direction are both static, suggesting that traders are maintaining current exposures throughout the trading day. This pattern suggests market participants are holding existing positions without adding new directional bets, as market sentiment stabilizes.

Put‑Call Ratio

The put‑call ratio stands at 0.861, slightly higher than yesterday’s 0.85, showing a marginal shift toward put demand in the near term. A PCR below one still signals call‑option dominance, but still within a bullish bias, although the modest rise hints at growing protective positioning.

Futures OI

Futures open‑interest registers zero and exhibits no change from the previous session, indicating that no new contracts have been added or withdrawn for the current contract month. The absence of futures OI movement reinforces the view that traders are not adjusting exposure in the underlying futures contract, and suggests a lack of speculative interest.

Data Summary

For this expiry, total call OI totals 32,74,500 contracts while put OI measures 28,18,475 contracts, yielding a net call‑side excess of approximately 4.56 lakhs contracts, representing a roughly 14% call‑side premium over puts.
