A huge volatile day in Nifty, with the index after a sedate start moved down, though we have better than expected GDP data at 2.4%. The responsive buyer took control from thereon to move the index back around the dotted line, but a late sell-off saw it closing at 5914.10 a loss of 28.25 points. The broader market was also negative, with just 553 advances to 945 declines. The OI table saw huge addition at 5700-5500PE levels, which looks more like buying.

- Bank Nifty Open Interest is at 16,69,375, down by 1,175, with decrease in price, most probably small long liquidation.
- FII’s sold huge 8.69 lacs of Futures, most probably short build-up, as their net OI increased by 11650 contracts and the average price per contract comes to around 5954.
- FII’s future open contract as on date is 352720.
- PCR Open Interest (Volume) has jumped to 1.673 due to huge addition at 5700-5900PE level.
- Support still very much at 5900PE, though covered some OI and below that at 5800 with OI in excess of 1.06 crore.

Put OI : 48454600
PCR OI : 1.424
SMR : 9.37 (Bullish to Neutral: Another negative close for Nifty, but Option Table still looks tilted very much in favour of the Bulls, but Bulls need to be cautious as SMR around 9 and 6000CE getting bigger with each passing day...)

ReplyDeleteI had been observing your work on OI.
As professional option trader and a Sr. Analyst I must appreciate your clarity on subject.
Good Luck.
