How far from flipping

Each condition on its own scale: the dot is this week's reading (filled when the condition is met), the bar is the gap to the line that decides it, and the figure on the right is what it would take to flip. Descriptive: where the lines sit this week, not a forecast.

Read from rbi.org.in on 2 Nov 2026. An observation, not an effective date.

Cash figures are NSE's provisional FII/FPI and DII trading activity for the date shown. Futures open interest is from NSE's participant-wise file for index futures; a long share below 50% means more short than long contracts. Positions can hedge holdings elsewhere, so a short is not necessarily a directional bet.
