Option Market Interpretation
- Significant Call writing at 26,000 strike reinforces near-term resistance.
- Moderate Put writing at 25,000 suggests limited downside protection.
- PCR of 0.63 indicates traders prefer selling Calls over buying Puts — a sign of weakness.
- VWAP range 25,420–25,720 defines likely intraday volatility corridor.
Overall, the short-term sentiment leans bearish. Sustained buying interest will be required above 25,720 to negate this setup. Until then, selling on rise could dominate index behavior in the coming session.
