OI Buildup Pattern

The total call option open interest stands at 737,500 contracts on the exchange while put option open interest registers 850,625 contracts, reflecting a higher put side.
With the underlying price unchanged at ₹922.5 and total open interest unchanged as of the close, the market exhibits a neutral buildup, indicating neither a pronounced long nor short accumulation.
The absence of a directional price move combined with stable open interest suggests that participants are maintaining existing positions rather than initiating new speculative bets and to preserve capital.

Put-Call Ratio

The put‑call ratio reads 1.153 across the market, marking a rise from yesterday’s 0.655 and signifying a shift toward greater put exposure.

Futures OI

Futures open interest registers zero change for this expiry, indicating no net addition or reduction in speculative or hedging positions for both long and short legs.
The flat futures OI aligns with the neutral spot price behavior, suggesting that market makers are not adjusting their exposure aggressively or rebalancing of existing books.

Data Summary

Overall, the unchanged total open interest combined with a higher put‑call ratio underscores a stable yet slightly bearish positioning environment for the current expiry, as reflected in the unchanged OI levels and PCR movement today’s market.
