What would change the read
If FIIs turn net buyers in the cash market, the rally would be getting funded, not just priced; if not, the money still is not following prices.
If more than half of the Nifty 500 closes higher, the move would be broad, not carried by a few heavyweights; if not, gains, if any, would be narrow.
If India VIX closes lower than the day before, demand for protection would be easing; if not, traders would still be paying up for protection.
