What is open interest?
Open interest is the number of option contracts open at a strike - written and not yet closed or expired. Unlike volume, which counts every trade, it only rises when a new position is opened and only falls when one is closed. That makes it the best record of where positions actually sit.
How to read the OI chart
Each strike is a row with two bars, call open interest and put open interest, highest strike on top. The darker part of a bar was added today and a hollow part was unwound; switch to "Change in OI" to see only today's change. Long call bars above the price are the call wall - read as resistance; long put bars below it are the put wall - read as support. A bar that grew today is a level being built; one that shrank is being given up.
Call vs put OI and the change in OI
The totals tell you the balance: the put-call ratio (PCR) is total put OI over total call OI, and above 1 means writers are selling more puts than calls. The change in OI tells you what happened today - fresh call writing above the price caps rallies, fresh put writing below it supports dips, and unwinding at a strike weakens that level. Read it with price, max pain and the option chain.
On today's NIFTY data the call wall is at 23,000 and the put wall at 22,700, with the future at 22,920.30 and a PCR of 1.63. Call OI changed −2.10 Cr and put OI +7.48 Cr since the last session.

What is open interest in options?
Open interest is the number of option contracts open at a strike - written and not yet closed or expired. It rises when new positions are opened and falls when they are closed, unlike volume, which counts every trade.
How do traders find support and resistance from open interest?
The strike with the highest call open interest above the price is read as resistance, and the one with the highest put open interest below it as support, because option writers defend the strikes they have sold.
What is the difference between OI and change in OI?
OI is the total open at a strike right now; change in OI is how much was added or unwound since the previous session, which shows where fresh positions are being built today.
How do you read call vs put OI?
Compare the two sides strike by strike and in total. More put OI than call OI (PCR above 1) is usually read as writers supporting the market; more call OI as writers capping it. Where both are large at the same strike, the market expects the price to stay near it.
What do rising price and rising OI mean?
In futures, price up with OI up is a long build-up, price down with OI up a short build-up, price up with OI down short covering and price down with OI down long unwinding. In options, rising OI at a strike means writers are adding positions there.
