OI Buildup Read

Neutral buildup dominates as spot price holds flat and total open interest remains unchanged. Neither fresh longs nor shorts are accumulating, indicating market hesitation amid range-bound action. The signal strength is weak, reflecting indecision near ₹275.

Put-Call Ratio Signal

PCR holds at 0.603, deep below the 0.7 threshold, signaling strong call dominance and aggressive long-side positioning. No shift from yesterday confirms sustained bullish sentiment in the options segment.

Futures Confirmation

Futures open interest is zero with no fresh positioning, failing to corroborate the call-heavy options activity. Absence of futures support weakens the bullish narrative despite strong call buying.

Bias for Tomorrow

Bullish bias prevails above ₹275, but invalidation occurs on a sustained break below ₹270.
