Nifty: Finally @ 16K Game of Positions Analysis

Updated
This is not a trade recommendation. But a study to showcase the importance of understanding Positions of various participants viz
- the retail traders
- FIIs and
- Proprietary traders

can give insights of directional trade. Despite World market being sideways, Nifty has managed to rise and march to 16K.

Previously when Nifty was at 15840, we had suggested that the current rise was not supported by rise in Open Interest. Subsequently we saw a fall in Nifty price up to 15745 odd levels. But from there on Nifty has bounced back stronger.

Those who have looked at the F&O data as I have been suggesting, the possibility of 16 K this time was clearly visible to them.

Take a look for yourself

Net Open Interest has increased by 7.82% for a 2nd day in a row. which is a healthy sign for trend followers.

Retail Participants were seen taking Net Long Index Futures. However their position in Options (net Call option sellers and aggressive Put buyers ) suggest bias is bearish.
FIIs on the other hand have Net neutral stance on Index Futures positions but in Options are Net Call buyers and Net Put sellers giving a positive bias
Pro traders have taken Net short position in Index Futures. However, they have been Net call buyers and aggressive Put sellers giving them an overall positive bias.
