▪️ COMMENTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Long Build-Up: 29 stocks saw an increase in OI and price, suggesting a build-up of long positions. Major ones: SONACOMS, APLAPOLLO, LTF, OIL, MCX, etc.
• Short Build-Up: 116 stocks saw an increase in OI and a drop in price. Major ones: KFINTECH, VOLTAS, COLPAL, INOXWIND, DRREDDY, etc.
• Short-Covering: 21 stocks saw short-covering, where OI decreased with a price increase. Major ones: GRASIM, MFSL, PETRONET, M&M, VBL, etc.
• Long Unwinding: 42 stocks saw a decline in open interest (OI) along with a fall in price, indicating long unwinding. Major ones: PATANJALI, PIDILITIND, HAVELLS, LT, BHARATFORG, etc.
• Nifty Index: The index extended its losing streak to six consecutive sessions and slipped below its 50-day and 100-day EMAs, reflecting short-term weakness. However, India VIX edged up only marginally to 11.38 (+0.55%) and remains subdued, indicating that the decline is still a controlled correction rather than panic selling. Going forward, the key level to watch is 24,000—holding above this support could stabilize sentiment, while a break below may lead to further downside pressure.
• Semiconductor Stocks: A surge in US bond yields led to aggressive profit booking in semiconductor stocks, dragging the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index down nearly 5%, with most major chipmakers losing 2.5–9%.

• Northern Arc (₹289): The ₹275–285 support zone has held firm, helping the stock recover from its recent correction. A decisive move above ₹300 would signal the start of the next upward leg.
