▪️ COMMENTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Long Build-Up: 57 stocks saw an increase in OI and price, suggesting a build-up of long positions. Major ones: DRREDDY, JUBLFOOD, BDL, CONCOR, KALYANKJIL, etc.
• Short Build-Up: 62 stocks saw an increase in OI and a drop in price. Major ones: JIOFIN, SBILIFE, HAL, VMM, HDFCAMC, etc.
• Short-Covering: 58 stocks saw short-covering, where OI decreased with a price increase. Major ones: MARICO, NYKAA, BHARATFORG, AUROPHARMA, OIL, etc.
• Long Unwinding: 31 stocks saw a decline in open interest (OI) along with a fall in price, indicating long unwinding. Major ones: LICI, BHEL, MANAPPURAM, NATIONALUM, SBIN, etc.
• Market View: Nifty continues to hold above its 20-day DEMA (24,363) and 200-day DEMA (24,385), keeping the broader trend constructive despite the ongoing consolidation. The 24,265–24,000 zone remains an important support area, while 24,600–24,750 is the immediate resistance band. Realty, FMCG and Consumer Durables continue to perform. On the global front, softer US producer inflation, stable crude oil prices, improving expectations of a Fed pause and continued strength in technology stocks are providing a supportive backdrop for equity markets.
