Market Regime Check

The end-of-day structure read for index options: where the OI walls sit, what the options market implies (ATM IV and its percentile rank), whether puts or calls dominate (PCR), and the strike option writers are defending (max pain). Recorded daily at the close — not a live tick.

How to read it

OI walls: the strike with the most call open interest acts as resistance; the biggest put-OI strike as support. Breaks of these levels with OI unwinding are regime changes.
Max pain is the strike where option buyers collectively lose the most. Price gravitating toward it into expiry is common; large distance means tension.
PCR above ~1.2 = put-heavy positioning (often support-building); below ~0.8 = call-heavy.
ATM IV percentile tells you whether options are expensive or cheap versus the past year — the difference between selling premium and buying it. The percentile gets sharper as the recorded history grows.
