Yesterday data.
The divergence suggests domestic institutions tried to cushion broader selling pressure from foreign players.
Open Interest & F&O Structure
Call open interest accumulation near Nifty 25,300 and Bank Nifty 55,500 strikes suggests participants had bullish expectations earlier.
However, with price reversal and falling indices, some of those OI levels may be under stress, indicating short covering or unwinding.
🎯 India VIX / Volatility
India VIX traded in the range ~ 10.11 – 10.89, closing near ~ 10.53.
This level suggests moderate volatility — not extremely calm, not wildly unstable.
In a low-to-mid VIX environment, directional moves require stronger triggers; sudden news or global shocks can spike volatility quickly.

🔍 Market View & Sentiment
Today’s session reflected profit-taking after recent upside.
While domestic flows tried to cushion losses, foreign selling had weight. Key support zones were tested, and early momentum couldn’t sustain.
Looking ahead:
Global cues (U.S. inflation data, Fed commentary, commodity movements) will matter heavily.
If indices break below strong support (Nifty ~25,000, Bank Nifty ~55,000), downside risk increases.
Conversely, a reversal above resistance zones could see renewed short-term buying. With VIX moderate, market participants should avoid overleveraging and maintain hedges.
