▪️ COMMENTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Long Build-Up: 40 stocks saw an increase in OI and price, suggesting a build-up of long positions. Major ones: ZYDUSLIFE, COALINDIA, HINDZINC, JSWENERGY, LTF, etc.
• Short Build-Up: 71 stocks saw an increase in OI and a drop in price. Major ones: ASTRAL, ANGELONE, INDIGO, BSE, RECLTD, etc.
• Short-Covering: 41 stocks saw short-covering, where OI decreased with a price increase. Major ones: BDL, JUBLFOOD, ICICIPRULI, VMM, MANAPPURAM, etc.
• Long Unwinding: 56 stocks saw a decline in open interest (OI) along with a fall in price, indicating long unwinding. Major ones: IRFC, SAIL, IREDA, HDFCAMC, HAVELLS, etc.
• Market View: Nifty has managed to hold the 24,000 zone and is attempting to stabilize after the recent correction. Bank Nifty and Nifty Metal Index are showing relatively stronger setups. 58,600 remains the key breakout level for Bank Nifty, while 12,700 is the important support for Nifty Metal. A sustained hold above this support could keep Nifty Metal on course towards 13,900, bringing fresh lifetime highs into focus.
• US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to announce the “toughest sanctions” against Iran today. The key market risk is higher crude prices and renewed inflation pressure, particularly if sanctions further disrupt oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz.

▪️ ANY INTERESTING STOCKS ON TECHNICAL BASIS?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Tega Industries (₹1,743): The stock is approaching a key long-term inflection zone at ₹1,800–1,850, which coincides with the upper boundary of a one-year consolidation channel. A decisive close above ₹1,850 would confirm a breakout and could pave the way for a move towards the ₹2,100–2,200 zone, at its all-time high.
