OI Buildup Read

Neutral buildup indicates price unchanged with total OI steady, reflecting balanced addition and reduction across strikes. Neither long buildup nor short unwinding dominates, suggesting indecision amid range-bound action. Signal strength is weak, with no momentum alignment in open interest.

Put-Call Ratio Signal

PCR holds flat at 0.921, remaining below the 1.0 bullish threshold, indicating a slight tilt toward call dominance but not extreme. No change from prior day suggests persistent neutral-to-cautious sentiment without a contrarian trigger.

Futures Confirmation

Futures OI is zero with no change, showing no fresh positioning in the futures segment. Absence of futures follow-through fails to confirm any emerging bias from options, reinforcing stagnation.

Bias for Tomorrow

Neutral bias prevails; invalidation at ₹290.0 (below which bearish momentum resumes).
