Reading the HDFC Bank Option Chain
The HDFC Bank option chain lists every available call and put strike for the current expiry on NSE, with last price, volume, open interest, change in OI, implied volatility and bid–ask for each. HDFC Bank options trade with a strike gap of 10 and a lot size of 550.
Quintal Mind streams the HDFC Bank chain live over a compressed WebSocket, so LTP, OI and IV update in real time during market hours instead of the 3-minute delay on the exchange site. The ATM strike is highlighted and the chain is centred on spot so the relevant strikes are always in view.
HDFC Bank Max Pain & Open Interest
Max pain — the strike where the most HDFC Bank options expire worthless — is recalculated live as open interest shifts through the day. The highest call OI strike often acts as resistance and the highest put OI strike as support, and HDFC Bank frequently gravitates toward the max pain level into expiry.
Watching OI change (not just absolute OI) tells you whether positions at a strike are being built or unwound — the difference between fresh conviction and a fading move.
HDFC Bank PCR & Sentiment
The HDFC Bank Put-Call Ratio (PCR), computed from total put OI ÷ total call OI, is a quick sentiment gauge: a high PCR leans bullish (heavy put writing), a low PCR leans bearish (heavy call writing). Quintal Mind shows live PCR alongside the chain so you have context before every trade.
