Nifty 50 Index Daily Chart
As expected in our previous technical journal, we mentioned that if FIIs agreed to take a loss, they would have to reduce their Index Future positions, which will convert into a strong bullish rally because in that case, all option sellers would unwind their long position. And it happened exactly. The Nifty index gradually starts its head upwards.
Have a look at how many positions are reduced by FIIs in the previous week. Within 3 trading days? They reduced their future position from 135.1k to 106.3k. And this is a significant number.
But remember, they still have a good number of Future index short existence, and as a big player, they can make more if the market moves higher further anytime soon.
