  • F&O Data Indicates Cautious Sentiment: The Nifty PCR stands at a low 0.5474, indicating bearish undertones in the options market. Max pain for the Nifty lies at 25,150, suggesting a narrow trading range. Bank Nifty data is slightly more neutral, with a PCR of 0.8064 and max pain at 56,800.
  • FIIs Pull Back While DIIs Offer Support: Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers to the tune of ₹1,614.30 crore, reflecting risk-off sentiment. However, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) stepped in with ₹1,787.70 crore in net buying, potentially cushioning the downside.
