Analysis what the data is telling us about HINDUNILVR

In the last completed session, Hindustan Unilever Ltd. closed -0.47% with futures open interest moving +4.5%. That combination — price falling while OI builds — is classified as Short Buildup.

Max-pain strike at ₹2,140 sits 1.4% above the current price, a mild magnet near expiry.
