Analysis what the data is telling us about ONGC
In the last completed session, Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. closed +0.70% with futures open interest moving -0.9%. That combination — price rising while OI shrinks — is classified as Short Covering. It typically reflects existing short sellers closing positions, not fresh buying. Short-covering rallies can be sharp but tend to fade without follow-through demand. The stock's option PCR sits at 0.45, indicating heavy call-side writing — option dealers see resistance overhead.
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. points to a supportive setup at the next open.
