Summary:
1. Despite the fall to 5350(SPOT) not much of 5400PEs were unwound. So 5400 put writers are providing the support below 5400.
2. Not much call addition at 5500/5600. Keeps the possibility of a pullback still open.
3. OTM (Out of Money) puts addition at 5200/5100 and lower levels is still cautioning that some traders are playing for a deeper correction from here.
4. PCR is still around 1.43. As mentioned before Nifty tends to top out when PCR crosses 1.8 - Two instances June 21st (around 5370) and recent top above 5500 just before Aug expiry.

The total turnover was pretty high today- About 1.06 Lakh-Cr. Comparison between August Series and September series is shown in following GIF.
It looks like options turnover almost doubled compared to first few days of august series.In my past experience - increase in options transaction indicates much higher volatility is expected in this series.
Monthly chart of Nifty:
