OI based on EOD.
Notice the declining OI in lower OTM puts (4000 to 4700). Is this the profit booking before the fall?? Even an increase in OI of CE (5000-5300) mildly suggests the same.
However an increase in OI of 4800-5100 seem to suggest otherwise....
IMO, 4000 to 4700 puts have served their purpose. Most likely they are going to expire worthless.. so people might be just recovering whatever they can.. and closing their positions.
Puts are building at and above 5100 level.. yesterday 5100 put were up by 15%. That means that someone is buying these puts at 85 Rs. of average mkt price (H+L / 2 of 5100 put today). This is indicating that the move up is going to be difficult.. with possible close below 5100-85 = 5015 for month end so that these PUTs give some return..
On the other hand,there is no action of any of the CALLs.. Just little bit of noise i.e. <10% change.
Will be good to track Dec action as we appraoch expiry. 5000/5100 Puts up by 17%, and 4900 puts up by 37% there. But 51/5200 calls are not moving much there.
If I can take a gamble trade, then I might go for 49 put.. and hope that global mkt breaks next week. That will make all new PUTs worthwhile. As not many bullish positions are coming up in last few days, I read it as market sentiment getting doubtful about upside from here and favouring downside or atleast playing cautious game and buying puts to protect their longs.
Don't get confused. Reading OI is not straight forward. Whatever I am writing is just my observations and interpretations. Trying to put multiple jig-saw pieces togather and attmepting to make sense out of it.
Hope this helps.
Happy Trading
