Market Sentiment FAQ — What These Signals Mean
Plain-English answers to what today's Indian market data is telling you. See the charts above for today's readings.
Are big investors buying or selling today?
FII (foreign) and DII (domestic) net flows show whether large institutions were net buyers or sellers of Indian stocks in the latest session. Sustained FII buying tends to lift the market; heavy FII selling usually weighs on it, though strong DII buying can cushion the fall. We show the latest session's net figures plus the 7-day trend, so you see the direction — not just one day.
Are options traders nervous or confident? (Put/Call ratio)
A high Nifty Put/Call Ratio (PCR above ~1.3) means traders are cautious or heavily hedged; a low PCR (below ~0.7) suggests complacency or a bullish lean. The PCR compares open put options to call options by open interest. It's a sentiment gauge, not a buy/sell signal.
Is the market move broad or just a few stocks? (Breadth)
Market breadth counts how many stocks rose versus fell, so a move where most stocks advance is broad-based and healthier than one driven by a handful of heavyweights. Above the 50% line means more stocks are rising than falling.
Real conviction or just quick trades? (Delivery %)
Delivery percentage is the share of traded shares actually taken into demat accounts rather than squared off intraday — higher delivery signals conviction, lower delivery signals short-term, speculative trading. It helps you tell genuine accumulation from quick intraday churn.
Which sectors are leading or lagging this week?
The sector map averages the last 5 trading days' return of Nifty 100 stocks grouped by industry, so you can see at a glance which sectors — banks, IT, auto, energy and so on — are leading or lagging this week.
