▪️ COMMENTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Long Build-Up: 45 stocks saw an increase in OI and price, suggesting a build-up of long positions. Major ones: HAL, ASTRAL, LICI, BHARTIARTL, PNBHOUSING, etc.
• Short Build-Up: 77 stocks saw an increase in OI and a drop in price. Major ones: GODREJCP, JUBLFOOD, MANAPPURAM, PGEL, BSE, etc.
• Short-Covering: 49 stocks saw short-covering, where OI decreased with a price increase. Major ones: MCX, PIDILITIND, HINDALCO, BHARATFORG, INDIANB, etc.
• Long Unwinding: 37 stocks saw a decline in open interest (OI) along with a fall in price, indicating long unwinding. Major ones: OIL, NAUKRI, TVSMOTOR, MARICO, HINDPETRO, etc.
• Market View: Despite heightened news flow, benchmark indices remained largely range-bound during the week. Nifty 50 declined 188 points (-0.8%), Nifty 500 fell 163 points (-0.3%), while Bank Nifty outperformed with a 145-point (+0.3%) gain. Although Nifty briefly breached the 24,300 support, it recovered by the close, indicating continued buying interest at lower levels. A decisive move out of the current range will likely require participation from Banking, IT, Auto and Pharma.

▪️ ANY INTERESTING STOCKS ON TECHNICAL BASIS?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Poonawalla Fincorp (CMP: ₹484): The stock is trading near the upper end of its consolidation range. The ₹495–500 zone remains the key resistance, and a decisive close above this band would confirm a breakout from the consolidation phase, opening the path towards its all-time high of ₹560.
