Analysis what the data is telling us about PNB
In the last completed session, Punjab National Bank closed +5.70% with futures open interest moving -4.8%. 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 option PCR of 0.80 is balanced — no clear directional preference from option writers. Max-pain strike at ₹108 sits 3.6% 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 Punjab National Bank over the last 30 sessions.
Putting it together, the smart-money picture for Punjab National Bank leans constructive into the next session.
