Open Interest Volume Analysis

Alright traders, let’s unpack this Open Interest Volume Analysis from Jan 9, 2026—combined futures across NIFTY (OI +4.29%, vol -12.79%), BANKNIFTY (+4.42%, vol +15%), MIDCPNIFTY (+10.33%, vol -36.62%), and SENSEX (+8.54%, vol -25%) all flashing “Fresh Short” amid spot declines of 0.6-0.75%, signaling institutions stacking shorts quietly.

What jumps out in this Open Interest Volume Analysis? Diverging volume tells the tale—BANKNIFTY’s volume pop hints trapped bulls, while the rest’s fades confirm conviction shorts as premiums wane (NIFTY/MIDCPNIFTY/SENSEX down), and PCRs dipping—prime setup for expiry week downside.

NIFTY Combined Core: OI +4.29% with vol cratering -12.79% is textbook fresh short—reasoning: low volume means deliberate builds, not panic, backing spot’s 25683 close; options PCR OI 0.491 (weekly) shows call dominance easing, max pain 26000—action: sell 25800 calls, target 25500 puts if breached.

BANKNIFTY Combined Twist: OI +4.42%, but vol +15% bucks the trend, suggesting short covers mixed in “Fresh Short”—premiums ballooning (Jan +91 pts) despite spot 59251 dip; clear call: watch 59700 pain, short rallies to 59500 with 58000 put adds as support flip risk.

MIDCPNIFTY Combined Alarm: Heaviest OI surge +10.33% on brutal -36.62% vol drop screams aggressive shorts—premiums tanking hard (Feb -24.8 pts), spot 13677; reasoning: illiquid midcaps amplify OI signals—actionable: enter 13700 shorts, stop 13900, buy 13500 puts for theta decay play.

SENSEX Combined Backup: OI +8.54%, vol -25.37%, premium -24 pts aligns bearish flow—weekly PCR 0.521 with 84000 pain points to 81000-85000 battle; ties NIFTY weakness—fade above 84000.

Cross-Asset Options Glue: PCR OI drops (NIFTY monthly 0.880, BANK 0.856, MIDCP 0.909) + volume PCRs >1 in spots signal put buying surge; highest adds cluster 25400-26000 (NIFTY), 58000-59500 (BANK)—reasoning: pinning to pains amid shorts, actionable: strangles at pains for vol crush by expiry.

Conclusion: What the NSE & BSE Indices Futures and Options Open Interest Volume Analysis Tells Us

Bottom line on this Open Interest Volume Analysis: Combined “Fresh Short” OI builds dominate with volume mostly drying up (except BANKNIFTY), eroding premiums, and PCR leans—markets leaning bearish into weekly expiries, ripe for 1-2% probes lower from current spots.

Key actionables: Hedge portfolios with 25500-26000 NIFTY puts, trail BANKNIFTY shorts under 59700, avoid midcap longs till vol revives—monitor Monday open for confirmation, could extend if global cues sour.
