Wednesday, FIIs were net sellers in cash market segment to the tune of Rs. 337 crores. They sold Index Futures marginally with fall in OI, suggesting mix of long unwinding and short covering in last trading session.
In Index Options front, they were net sellers of Rs. 287 crores with marginal change in OI. In call options we saw build-up in 7800 and 8200 strikes, followed by unwinding in 8000 & 8300 call options. While in put options, 7800 strike added good amount of OI, some build-up was also visible in 7500 & 7900 put option. Maximum OI is seen in 8200 call and 7800 put options.
We continue to see meaningful selling in equities by bigger hands. Even though Nifty gave a decent bounce, we are hardly witnessing any substantial buying interest in Nifty. We still believe it’s a sell on rise market; 7900-8000 is an immediate resistance for Nifty.
