OI Buildup Pattern

The spot index holds steady at ₹658.25 while total open interest for the current expiry is unchanged at 86,44,000 contracts, producing a neutral buildup. A neutral buildup means that price movement is flat and the net OI change does not favour either side, so neither longs are accumulating nor shorts are expanding. This equilibrium suggests that market participants are holding their existing positions without aggressive new‐side bets.

Put‑Call Ratio

The put‑call ratio (PCR) is 0.729, up from yesterday’s 0.663, indicating a modest rise in relative put activity. Although the ratio remains below 1.0, the upward shift points to a slight tilt toward more protective puts while calls still dominate overall.

Futures OI

Futures open interest shows zero change for the day, with no new contracts added or unwound. The flat futures OI reinforces the broader neutral stance observed in the cash market, implying little new positioning pressure from futures traders.

Data Summary

The salient figure for this expiry is a stagnant total open interest of 86,44,000 contracts, reflecting a neutral buildup and balanced long/short positioning.
