Derivatives signal Short Covering
Price rose (+0.4%) on short-covering (OI down -0.7%), suggesting a temporary relief bounce rather than new buyers.

Analysis what the data is telling us about RELIANCE

In the last completed session, Reliance Industries Ltd. closed +0.37% with futures open interest moving -0.7%. That combination — price rising while OI shrinks — is classified as Short Covering. It typically reflects existing short sellers closing positions, not fresh buying. Short-covering rallies can be sharp but tend to fade without follow-through demand. The option PCR of 0.87 is balanced — no clear directional preference from option writers. Max-pain strike at ₹1,310 sits 1.9% below the current price, a mild magnet near expiry.

There have been no notable bulk or block deals from FIIs, mutual funds, or insurance companies in Reliance Industries Ltd. over the last 30 sessions.

Putting it together, the smart-money picture for Reliance Industries Ltd. points to a supportive setup at the next open.
