Conversely, if the index drops below 24,100, the immediate support to keep an eye on is at 24,000.

On August 14, the Nifty Put-Call Ratio (PCR), a gauge of market sentiment, surged to 1.14 from the previous session’s 0.78.

An increasing PCR, particularly when it rises above 0.7 or surpasses 1, suggests that traders are favoring the sale of Put options over Call options, typically signaling a strengthening bullish sentiment. Conversely, if the ratio drops below 0.7 or approaches 0.5, it indicates a higher volume of Call option selling compared to Put options, which generally points to a bearish outlook in the market.
