Chaitanya, what u have mentioned is correct in general.
But the twist comes when u interpret it info as - If 25% more calls are written then there has been 25% more buyers for these calls as well.
So with OI, it is difficult to judge whether Smart Money is on the writing the call or buying the call. SMoney is also positional trader. So if they have to protect their portfolio at 5000 level, then they might be buying 5000 PUTs.
And other novice so called smart retail option trader might be writing these puts to SM buyers.
Hope this helps. Happy Trading
