In the F&O space, they have:
Reduced net index short positions
Significantly reduced net index put positions
Overall positioning is gradually shifting toward a positive bias.
2️⃣ Global Market Cues
Global sentiment remains in a neutral zone.
No major geopolitical tensions

This stable backdrop supports risk appetite in equities.
3️⃣ Technical & Data View
On charts, the market structure looks strong, with Bank Nifty leading the rally this week.
Nifty is approaching its key resistance zone at 25,900.
A decisive breakout above this level may trigger short covering by FIIs.
From a data perspective:
PCR at 1.25 – entering higher territory but not yet overbought
FII Index Long/Short Ratio at 29 – indicates room for further short covering
Overall, data suggests there is still upside potential.
