Across all 87 listed strikes, not just the ones shown below. A PCR under 1 means more call open interest than put — often read as call writing into resistance, though open interest alone cannot tell you which side of a contract initiated it.

Reading this chain

Max pain 23,600 is the settlement price at which option writers pay out least in aggregate — the minimum of Σ callOI×max(0,S−K) + Σ putOI×max(0,K−S) across every listed strike. It is not the strike with the most open interest; here those differ.

Open interest is shown in shares — divide by the lot size of 65 for contracts. Both are carried in the data because quoting one as the other is a silent 65× error.

End-of-day open interest from fno_bars_daily, which holds 41.7M rows back to 2001 — so any past expiry can be replayed with the date picker, not only the live one. This is settled exchange data, not a live feed: today's ticks do not appear here until the end-of-day jobs run.
