OI Buildup Pattern

The expiry shows a neutral buildup as both the spot price and the total open interest (OI) remain unchanged from the prior session. With a flat price at ₹424.5 and total OI steady at 5,43,42,000, there is no dominant long‑building or short‑building activity. The lack of movement suggests that traders are maintaining existing positions rather than initiating new directional bets.

Put‑Call Ratio

The put‑call ratio (PCR) stands at 0.798, marginally higher than yesterday’s 0.763, indicating a slight increase in relative put demand. This level, still below 1.0, reflects a market tilt toward calls but with a modest shift toward puts.

Futures OI

Futures open interest registers zero change, signaling that the number of contracts outstanding for the current expiry is unchanged. Such a flat futures OI reinforces the view that participants are not adding to or unwinding futures exposures at this juncture.

Data Summary

The key metric for this expiry is the total call‑type OI of 4,33,44,000, representing the dominant portion of the 5,43,42,000 overall open interest.
