KALYANKJIL Options — Where Positioning Sits Today

Where KALYANKJIL open interest sits

The heaviest call open interest is at the 600 strike, holding 44,99,550 contracts — 17.1% of all KALYANKJIL call open interest on the board, 2.47% below the spot of 615. That strike is in the money, so it is not resistance: price has already traded through it. A call wall sitting below spot usually means either a level that was defended and then broken, or positions that have not yet been rolled up. The strikes to watch for resistance are the heaviest ones still above 615.

On the put side the weight is at 600 with 31,80,600 contracts, 17.0% of KALYANKJIL put open interest, 2.47% below spot. Put open interest concentrated below price is usually treated as support for the same reason, and breaks the same way.

What KALYANKJIL's PCR is saying

KALYANKJIL is carrying 1,87,62,300 contracts of put open interest against 2,63,29,050 of call, a put-call ratio of 0.71 — mildly call-heavy positioning. PCR has no universally good value; it is read against its own recent range, and the direction it is moving carries more than the level.

It opened the session at 0.71 and has held to 0.71 — a move of 0.00. That is effectively flat: positioning has not changed sides today.

KALYANKJIL against its max pain

Max pain for KALYANKJIL computes to 600, with spot at 615 — 2.47% above it. That strike is where the total value of all open contracts expiring would be lowest. It is arithmetic on the current open interest distribution, not a forecast, and the distribution keeps changing.

The curve is defined around it: the nearest strike either side costs writers 8.9% more than 600. A trough that distinct is a stronger reference than a flat basin, though it still describes positioning rather than predicting settlement.

There are 21 sessions to expiry. This far out the figure moves as positions roll, and it is least informative early in a series — worth watching for direction of travel rather than as a target.

What changed in KALYANKJIL today

The biggest unwind is −4,050 put contracts at 715. Positions closing matters as much as positions opening — a level defended by open interest stops being defended when that open interest leaves, and a break through a strike that is unwinding is a different event from a break against one that is intact.

Change is measured against this session's opening snapshot rather than the previous close, so the overnight gap and the positions rolled at the open do not swamp the reading.
