What is OI Shift?
- OI (Open Interest): It shows where option writers are building or exiting positions. A sudden spike or unwinding can signal a shift in sentiment.
- Shift in Support & Resistance: When Put writers shift to higher strikes and Call writers shift lower, it tells you the market range is changing.
- Live Clues from Smart Money: This gives you an edge in real-time — letting you ride the move before it becomes obvious.
How to Use the OI Shift Setup on Expiry Day
- Step 1 – Watch 15-Min Option Chain Updates: Look for sudden changes in highest OI build-up or unwinding.
- Step 2 – Identify the Range Shift:
Example – If 22,000 PE OI drops and 22,100 PE OI rises, support has shifted up = bullish signal. - Step 3 – Combine with Price Action: Breakout from VWAP, range, or previous day high/low = confirmation.
- Step 4 – Take Entry with SL Below Breakout Candle: Ride the momentum but stay risk-managed.
When This Setup Works Best
- During 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM: Fresh OI gives early trend signs.
- During Range Breakouts: Especially when new OI builds just before the breakout.
- During Reversal Traps: If OI shifts opposite to price move, expect a false breakout and trap.
