Analysis what the data is telling us about ONGC
In the last completed session, Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. closed +1.10% with futures open interest moving -1.9%. 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 0.44, indicating heavy call-side writing — option dealers see resistance overhead. Max-pain strike at ₹245 sits 2.0% below the current price, a mild magnet near expiry.
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. suggests upside momentum is building.
