OI Buildup Read

Neutral buildup prevails with unchanged open interest and flat price action, reflecting balanced accumulation and liquidation in both calls and puts. This equilibrium suggests neither aggressive long nor short dominance, indicating market participants are awaiting fresh catalysts. The signal strength is moderate, constrained by low conviction in directional positioning.

Put-Call Ratio Signal

PCR holds steady at 0.693, remaining below the 0.7 threshold, signaling a bearish contrarian bias in sentiment. The unaltered ratio from the prior session confirms sustained call dominance without intensification.

Futures Confirmation

Futures open interest is zero with no change, indicating no fresh directional positioning in the futures segment. This lack of participation fails to validate any emerging trend suggested by options data, weakening the options-driven signal.

Bias for Tomorrow

Bearish bias persists; invalidation occurs above ₹835.00.
