1️⃣ FII Activity & Derivatives Positioning

FIIs have bought approximately ₹3,000 crore worth of equities in the cash segment, showing selective buying interest.

However, in the F&O segment:

They have reduced some net index shorts

Built fresh net index call short positions

Overall derivatives data indicates a cautious to bearish bias despite cash buying.

2️⃣ Global Market Cues

Global sentiment remains neutral to slightly negative due to:

Ongoing US–Iran geopolitical tensions

Continued uncertainty around global tariff policies

There is no panic yet, but global undertones are preventing strong upside momentum.

Nifty is trading near a crucial support zone of 25,300–25,400.

A decisive breakdown below this range may open the path toward 25,000.
