• DIIs: Booked profit in 1388 lots and created shorts in 500 lots (Net: -1888). Additionally, they booked profit in 6647 lots and created shorts in 2224 lots (Net: -8871).

Note:
FIIs’ net long position remains at just 7%, indicating a highly oversold zone. Data shows FIIs have covered some shorts, while PCR stands at 1.05 and VIX remains subdued around 10.

Open interest data indicates that FIIs have covered a portion of their shorts, and retail clients have also squared off short positions. Some new shorts have been added by DIIs and retail participants in the index.

Overall, FIIs’ very low net long exposure is still supporting Nifty at elevated levels, with dips being actively bought. Retail participation has played a strong role in lifting the index from 24600 to 25200. We expect further short covering that could potentially extend the move towards 25450–25500. Any dips of 100–130 points are likely to be bought into.
