Worth knowing
nothing the data supports either way
NTPC sits in Public sector, Central PSUs, Infrastructure — worth checking whether the whole group is moving together or whether this name is doing it alone.
What would change this read: a close back above 359, its 200-day average; open interest reversing while price keeps going.

What the scans say today
1 of 47 matched on 2026-08-21
NTPC matches 1 of the 47 scans today, across 1 different kinds of evidence.
NTPC trades at 12× trailing earnings, below its median of 14× over this window — 16% less expensive than usual. The band runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile, so single-day spikes do not set the edges.
This window is short by the standards of valuation history — it begins where four quarters of filed earnings first exist. A stock can look cheap against two years and expensive against ten.

How to read this
Open interest is contracts still open, so a rise means new positions and a fall means positions closing. Combined with price direction that gives the state on the left. The walls are the strikes carrying the most open interest near expiry — levels other people are watching, not levels the price is obliged to respect. A future below spot means sellers are paying to be short.
