How to read this

  • OI = Open Interest. Strikes with high call OI act as resistance; high put OI as support.
  • PCR (Put-Call Ratio) > 1.1 historically reads bullish (more puts being written); < 0.9 bearish.
  • Max pain is the strike where total option-buyer losses are maximised. Markets sometimes drift toward it at expiry.
  • OI Δ (change) reveals where new positions are being built today vs. yesterday.
