OI Buildup Read

The buildup is neutral, with spot unchanged and total open interest holding flat, indicating balanced participation. Neither fresh longs nor shorts are accumulating, reflecting market indecision ahead of expiry. Signal strength is weak due to lack of price-OI momentum.

Put-Call Ratio Signal

PCR stands at 0.975, within the neutral zone—below the 1.0 bullish threshold but above the 0.7 bearish level, suggesting no strong contrarian signal. No change from the prior day’s ratio indicates persistent equilibrium between put and call positioning.

Futures Confirmation

Futures open interest is unchanged at zero net addition, confirming absence of directional conviction. Lack of futures buildup fails to validate any emerging bias from options, reinforcing indecision.

Bias for Tomorrow

Bias remains neutral; invalidation occurs above ₹385 (bullish) or below ₹375 (bearish).
