Indian markets enter today’s session with a cautiously positive setup.<\/p>\n
Nifty has started showing signs of recovery from the 24,000\u201324,100 support zone, while Crude Oil has cooled somewhat.
\nGift Nifty is currently flat, and global markets have provided limited direction. FII activity was also relatively muted.<\/p>\n
Crude Oil Cools a Bit
\nCrude Oil has eased somewhat from elevated levels.<\/p>\n
However, one major theme remains strong:
\nGlobal Metals Rally Continues<\/p>\n
This could keep Indian metal stocks in focus and provide additional support to the broader market.
\nFor now, the strategy remains: Buy on Dips<\/p>\n
—->Nifty Finds Support<\/p>\n
Nifty has started turning higher from an important support zone.
\nSupport: 24,000\u201324,100<\/p>\n
—–> 24,550 \u2014 The Key Hurdle<\/p>\n
On the upside:
\nResistance: 24,550
\nNifty needs to decisively cross this level to establish stronger bullish momentum.<\/p>\n
##FII-DII Activity: Mixed, But Derivatives Look Better
\nInstitutional Activity \u2014 21 August 2026
\nSegment FII DII
\nCash Market -\u20b9542.71 Cr +\u20b92,124.14 Cr
\nIndex Futures +\u20b9363.54 Cr \u2014
\nIndex Options +\u20b9838.12 Cr \u2014
\nStock Futures +\u20b9858.47 Cr \u2014
\nStock Options -\u20b9205.48 Cr \u2014<\/p>\n
The headline cash-market number remains slightly negative, with FIIs selling around \u20b9543 crore.
\nHowever, the derivatives picture is more constructive:<\/p>\n
##Global Metals Rally Remains Strong
\nWhile broader global cues remain relatively muted, the metals rally continues to stand out.

——->Bottom Line
\nNifty is showing signs of recovery from 24,000\u201324,100, while softer crude and strong global metals are providing additional support.<\/p>\n
FII cash selling remains a minor concern, but their positive index and stock-futures positioning, combined with strong DII buying, makes the setup more balanced.<\/p>\n
