• Long Unwinding: 50 stocks saw a decline in open interest (OI) along with a fall in price, indicating long unwinding. Major ones: SBILIFE, NESTLEIND, WIPRO, BAJFINANCE, KALYANKJIL, etc.
• Market View: Sustained FII buying in the cash market continues to strengthen market internals, suggesting the rally is likely to broaden beyond stock-specific moves. For the Nifty, 24,350–24,400 remains the immediate support zone to keep the uptrend intact. Today's RBI policy commentary on the repo rate, liquidity stance, and inflation/GDP outlook will be the key trigger for Banking, Auto, Realty, and Housing Finance stocks.

• Travel Food Services (₹1,366): After six weeks of consolidation in the ₹1,250–1,370 range, the stock is showing signs of a breakout and renewed momentum. A sustained move above ₹1,370 could trigger the next leg higher towards the ₹1,490–1,500 resistance zone, while ₹1,250 is expected to act as a strong support.
