Analysis what the data is telling us about NTPC
In the last completed session, NTPC Ltd. closed -0.39% with futures open interest moving -0.6%. 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 0.66, indicating heavy call-side writing — option dealers see resistance overhead. Max-pain strike at ₹350 sits 2.2% above the current price, a mild magnet near expiry.
There have been no notable bulk or block deals from FIIs, mutual funds, or insurance companies in NTPC Ltd. over the last 30 sessions.
Putting it together, the smart-money picture for NTPC Ltd. points to a softer setup at the next open.
