Turning Complex Derivative Data into Clear Market Insights
NSE & BSE Indices Futures and Options Open Interest Volume Analysis for 23/09/2025

Table of Contents
On 23rd September 2025, the F&O landscape highlighted a clear market divergence as captured by the day’s Open Interest Volume Analysis. Nifty futures slipped marginally to 25,255 with OI down by 2.7%, signaling long covering, where traders offloaded bullish positions rather than carrying them forward. This caution was reflected in the monthly option chain, with PCR (OI) slipping below 0.85 and heavy call additions at 25,500, indicating overhead resistance.
In contrast, Bank Nifty stood firm, adding fresh longs with a 1.9% OI rise alongside gains in price, and the PCR (OI) jumped to 1.127, highlighting stronger support near 54,200–55,000 levels. FINNIFTY showed strength through short covering, while MIDCPNIFTY mirrored Nifty’s cautious tone with further long liquidation. The Sensex, however, turned slightly risk-off, with a 1.1% OI build-up showing fresh short positions creeping in. This mixed picture, as revealed by Open Interest Volume Analysis, indicates sectoral resilience in banking and financials but an overall cautious stance in the broader market ahead of expiry.

Conclusion: What the NSE & BSE Indices Futures and Options Open Interest Volume Analysis Tells Us
The derivatives setup for 23rd September 2025 shows that the market mood is cautious but not uniformly bearish. Nifty’s options data signals vulnerability, with put writers only holding ground at 25,200 while call writers aggressively cap upside near 25,500. Bank Nifty, on the other hand, is showing relative leadership with fresh longs and rising PCR, suggesting that traders continue to use dips to accumulate positions in banking names.
FINNIFTY’s short covering adds to the supportive undertone for financials, while MIDCPNIFTY and Sensex reflect a defensive shift through unwinding and new shorts respectively. Altogether, today’s Open Interest Volume Analysis showcases a market in transition, where banking strength is masking broader caution. Unless fresh longs spread beyond Bank Nifty into Nifty and midcaps, the index could struggle to find directional momentum in the days leading into expiry.
