Reading these numbers
- PCR 0.624 — A PCR below 1 means more call OI than put OI. Call writers dominate, which can act as a resistance cap on rallies near heavily-written call strikes.
- Max Pain at 75,000 — The theoretical price at which the index would cause the most option contracts to expire worthless, minimising the total payout from option writers. Often acts as an intraday or expiry-week magnet, especially in low-volatility sessions.
- Spot ranged 73,906.9 – 74,743.5 — The index closed below max pain (75,000) — below-pain positioning may have supported downward drift into expiry.
These are aggregate summaries of market positioning data, not trading signals. PCR and
max pain are widely-watched indicators but are not predictive on their own.
