Analysis what the data is telling us about MCX

In the last completed session, Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd. closed -3.23% with futures open interest moving -1.9%. That combination — price falling while OI shrinks — is classified as Long Unwinding. Existing longs are exiting rather than new shorts being added; the move down lacks the conviction of fresh selling. The stock's option PCR sits at 0.63, indicating heavy call-side writing — option dealers see resistance overhead. Max-pain strike at ₹3,300 sits 1.4% above the current price, a mild magnet near expiry.

On the institutional side, MFs are building positions in Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd. — the most recent notable was UTI MUTUAL FUND on the buy side at ₹425 Cr.

Putting it together, the smart-money picture for Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd. suggests further downside pressure is likely.
