OI Buildup Pattern

The open‑interest (OI) for the current expiry sits at 81,26,300 contracts, unchanged from the previous session, while the spot price remains flat at ₹288.1. Because both price and OI are stable, the buildup classification is neutral. A neutral pattern suggests that the market is not adding new directional bias; participants are holding existing positions rather than initiating fresh longs or shorts.

Put‑Call Ratio

The put‑call ratio (PCR) stands at 0.616, marginally lower than yesterday’s 0.64. A PCR below 1 indicates that call options are slightly more popular than puts, showing a modest tilt toward bullish sentiment, though the day‑over‑day decline points to a mild reduction in that bias.

Futures OI

Futures open‑interest for this expiry is recorded at zero, with no change from the prior day. Zero futures OI implies that no new futures contracts have been opened or closed, reinforcing the view that market participants are not adjusting exposure in the underlying commodity for this contract month.

Data Summary

The key takeaway is that total OI remains steady at 81,26,300 contracts, with a neutral buildup, a sub‑1 PCR of 0.616, and unchanged futures OI, indicating a broadly balanced positioning environment.
