Option Open Interest for 25-03-2013

Inference
Another day wasted by the Bulls, a gap-up on the back of good global cues saw Nifty scale 5700, but some rumour of Samajwadi Party withdrawing support from the UPA government, spooked the market and the index closed in red at 5633.85 a loss of 17.50 points. The broader market was also weak, with just 555 advances to 963 declines. Based on OI Table, now 5700 look like a good enough resistance and expiry could happen around 5600 level.
