OI Buildup Pattern

The current expiry shows a neutral buildup – spot price is flat at ₹3,964.1 and total open interest (OI) is unchanged at 6,582,100 contracts. Because neither price nor OI moves appreciably, there is no clear dominance of either long‑building (price ↑ + OI ↑) or short‑building (price ↓ + OI ↑) behavior. This neutrality suggests that market participants are largely holding existing positions rather than adding new longs or shorts ahead of settlement.

Put‑Call Ratio

The put‑call ratio (PCR) stands at 0.518, marginally lower than yesterday’s 0.52. A PCR below 1 indicates that call options are slightly more popular than puts, but the minute day‑over‑day decline signals a modest shift toward relatively more put activity.

Futures OI

Futures open interest for this expiry registers zero change, with both the absolute OI and its day‑to‑day delta at 0. Such a flat futures OI implies that traders are not establishing new futures exposures nor unwinding existing ones, reinforcing the overall neutral stance observed in the options market.

Data Summary

The key figure for this expiry is a stable total OI of 6,582,100 contracts, reflecting unchanged positioning across both options and futures.
