F&O PCR + OI Surge (Bearish Signal)

India F&O SELL signal India F&O — PCR & Positioning SWING

OI surge > 5% (fresh positioning) + PCR < 0.6 (retail aggressively buying calls). IV is elevated — smart money sells calls into the frenzy. RSI >= 58 (stretched) + positive day (still chasing higher = peak retail FOMO). High probability of IV crush + mean-reversion. Classic option seller setup. Trade: sell OTM call spreads or fade the upside breakout with tight stops.

The edge — what this scanner is hunting

PCR < 0.6 + rising OI + RSI elevated = call-writer confidence (bearish). Heavy call writing with rising OI = institutions positioned for downside. Best as a fade after extended rallies.

How it fires

PCR < 0.6 + oi_change_pct > 5 + RSI ≥ 58 + change_pct > 0.5.
