OI Buildup Read

Neutral buildup dominates with spot price unchanged and total OI static, indicating balanced participation. Neither fresh longs nor shorts are entering aggressively, reflecting market indecision. Signal strength is weak, as price and open interest remain flat across the board.

Put-Call Ratio Signal

PCR holds steady at 0.863, below the 1.0 threshold, suggesting sustained call dominance and limited put hedging. No change from yesterday’s level confirms persistent but non-extreme optimism among options traders.

Futures Confirmation

Futures OI is zero with no open positions, removing any directional confirmation from the futures segment. The absence of futures activity leaves options sentiment unverified, increasing reliance on OI patterns alone.

Bias for Tomorrow

Slight bullish bias prevails due to call-side OI concentration and flat price action; invalidation occurs below ₹82.50.
