Highest put option open interest contract was added at a strike price of 17,200 for expiry on December 9.

The structure of the market has changed for the worse now. Every attempt by the bulls to lift the market has been met by ferocious bears. This is the second day in a row when the Nifty 50 has fallen by more than 200 points. In today’s trade not a single company from Sensex closed in green and in Nifty 50 it was only UPL that remained the sole company to close in green. At the closing bell on Monday, frontline indices saw a fall of 1.65% from their previous close. What is leading to such a fall is relentless selling by FIIs and uncertainty around the new strain of coronavirus.

Activity on the F&O front for weekly expiry on December 09 shows 17500 to act as a strong resistance now. Highest open interest contract of 157587 stood at this strike price. The second-highest call option open interest 133541 for Nifty 50 stood at a strike price of 18000. In terms of the highest addition of open interest in the call options front, it was at 17200 in the last trading session. A total of 67630 open interest was added at this strike price.

In terms of put activity, the highest put writing was seen at a strike price of 16900 (22830 open interest added on December 6), followed by 16000 (15956 open interest added on December 6). Highest total put open interest (69645) stood at a strike price of 16000. This is followed by a strike price of 16500, which saw a total put option open interest of 56692 contracts.
