Derivatives signal Short Covering
Price rose (+3.0%) on short-covering (OI down -3.1%), suggesting a temporary relief bounce rather than new buyers.

Analysis what the data is telling us about UNIONBANK

In the last completed session, Union Bank of India closed +2.97% with futures open interest moving -3.1%. 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 0.93 is balanced — no clear directional preference from option writers. Max-pain strike at ₹172 sits 0.6% above 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 Union Bank of India over the last 30 sessions.

Putting it together, the smart-money picture for Union Bank of India suggests upside momentum is building.
