Analysis what the data is telling us about ONGC

In the last completed session, Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. closed -1.67% with futures open interest moving -1.8%. 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 0.50, indicating heavy call-side writing — option dealers see resistance overhead. Max-pain strike at ₹225 sits 2.4% 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 Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. over the last 30 sessions.

Putting it together, the smart-money picture for Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. suggests further downside pressure is likely.
