Gold Option Chain Analysis

The supplied MCX Gold option chain contains total Call OI of approximately 4,312 lots and Put OI of about 4,396 lots. This produces an estimated PCR-OI of 1.02, reflecting broadly balanced positioning with a marginal bullish tilt.

The Rs. 1,55,000 strike is the immediate trend-deciding zone. Call OI at this strike stands at 553 lots, but Call unwinding of 13 lots was recorded. Simultaneously, Put OI increased by 63 lots to 288 lots. This shift indicates improving support near Rs. 1,55,000, although a price breakout is still required.

Strong Put Base

The strongest relevant Put base is visible at Rs. 1,50,000, with OI of 712 lots and fresh addition of 95 lots. This makes Rs. 1,50,000 the principal positional support.

Put additions at Rs. 1,55,000 suggest that support may gradually move higher if Gold sustains above this strike.

Heavy Call-Writing Zone

StrikeCall OIInterpretation
Rs. 1,55,000553 lotsImmediate hurdle
Rs. 1,60,000536 lotsMajor upside resistance
Rs. 1,65,000544 lotsStrong Call wall

Fresh Call addition of 61 lots at Rs. 1,65,000 indicates a significant higher resistance zone.

Market Interpretation

The technical trend is bullish, while the option chain is balanced. Call unwinding and Put addition at Rs. 1,55,000 create the possibility of an upside breakout. However, RSI near 68 and resistance around the upper Bollinger Band demand cautious entries.
