Read the chain likea dealer does.
Live open interest for Nifty, Bank Nifty and Sensex — straight from NSE and BSE. Put-call ratio, max pain, the call and put walls, and what today's OI build-up is whispering. For understanding positioning, never for blind trades.
Put-heavy — writers are confident of support (can flip fast if support breaks). Fresh OI on both sides near ATM — a straddle/strangle-writing day, range expected between the walls. Biggest call wall at 23,700 (5.12 L OI) and put wall at 23,600 (5.62 L OI). Max pain sits at 23,700 — price tends to gravitate there into expiry, but walls move every hour, so treat them as zones, not lines.

Open interest is the number of contracts still open — big OI at a strike means many traders have committed there. Call writers sit above price (resistance), put writers below it (support). PCR above 1.3 says puts dominate (writers confident), below 0.7 says calls dominate. Max pain is the strike where the most option premium expires worthless. Watch change in OI — that is today's fresh conviction. Shaded cells are in-the-money.
