AI AnalysisGenerated daily after market close · AI-powered

Key Strike Levels

Strong resistance forms at ₹100, where call open interest peaks, indicating heavy writer presence capping upside. Immediate support clusters at ₹100 put strike, showing entrenched put writers defending that floor. The implied range is currently boxed between ₹84 and ₹88, based on fresh concentration in nearby OTM options.

OI Buildup Activity

Bullish sentiment emerges with fresh long calls building at ₹88 (+3.33 lakh contracts), followed by significant long adds at ₹87 and ₹86, suggesting aggressive call buying ahead of spot. On the put side, ₹84 sees the largest OI addition (+4.54 lakh), signaling defensive long put positions as near-term downside hedge. Additional long put accumulation at ₹78 and ₹73 hints at tail-risk protection, though not yet reflecting immediate bearish conviction.

Volatility Read

ATM implied volatility holds at 30.38%, indicating elevated premium levels consistent with event-pricing or sector-wide volatility. Neutral skew reinforces two-way risk sentiment, with no pronounced fear or euphoria dominating the book.

Strategy Implication

Bias leans sideways-to-moderately bullish with defined boundaries, favoring range-based structures as writers test resistance and fresh longs position ahead of momentum.
