FIIs Activity – FIIs continued their selling streak in the cash segment. In F&O, they added more index short positions while reducing both index call longs and put positions — indicating a weak and uncertain stance.
Global Sentiment – Global tone remains neutral to negative as the U.S. government shutdown has now turned into the longest ever 
, with no signs of reopening anytime soon.
Market Mood – Global investors are staying on the sidelines amid rising uncertainty, while safe-haven assets like gold are finding support again.
Technical View (Nifty) – The chart setup looks weak, and unless there’s a strong positive trigger, Nifty might drift toward 25,500 
once during the week.
Our Take – Maintain a cautious approach. Focus only on quality and fundamentally strong stocks; avoid aggressive positions in this phase.
