They look at how positions are building in the market using data like open interest, traded volume, and price behaviour. For example, if price moves up along with rising OI, it usually points to fresh long positions getting added. If price rises but OI drops, it’s more likely short covering than new buying. So it’s less about direction, more about what kind of activity is behind the move.
It shows how FIIs, DIIs, and retail traders are positioned, mostly through derivatives data. You’ll typically see long and short exposure across indices or stocks. There are phases where FIIs steadily build longs while retail increases short exposure, especially near resistance zones.
Momentum Swing tracks stocks where price starts moving with indicator support - say a breakout with rising RSI and expanding volume. It’s usually picked up when price moves out of a range or when short-term averages start aligning. Some setups follow through, some don’t, so it’s used more for tracking early movement than confirming trends.
It includes open interest changes, volume spikes, and position classification - long buildup, short buildup, long unwinding, short covering. For instance, falling prices with rising OI generally indicates fresh short positions. Rising price with falling OI points to short covering. These combinations help explain how positions are shifting during a move.
Because index movement on its own can be misleading. There are days when the index is up, but if you actually look across stocks, a lot of them are either flat or down. That usually means only a few heavyweights are pulling things up. When more stocks start moving in the same direction, the move tends to hold better. You can see that shift in breadth numbers before it shows up clearly on the chart.
Yes, though it takes some time to read the data properly. Numbers like OI or volume are easy to access, but interpreting them alongside price - especially during volatile phases takes a bit of observation. Most people start by watching how these behave around key levels or events.
They are just used a bit differently. For intraday, people usually watch shorter-term changes - sudden OI additions, quick volume spikes, things that happen within the session. For positional trades, it’s more about how positions are building over time. OI trends across days, rollover behaviour near expiry, whether participation is increasing or fading.
What Our Traders Say
Why Traders Love Our Sentiment Indicators
See What’s Driving the Move
Price alone doesn’t tell you much. When you combine it with OI and positioning, you start seeing what’s actually behind the move.
Spot Pressure Early
Sometimes buying or selling builds quietly before it shows up clearly on charts. You can usually catch that shift here first.
Understand Who Is Positioning
It’s not just about direction - you can see whether institutions or retail are building exposure, and that changes how people read the market.
Better Context Across Data
Instead of looking at OI, volume, and breadth separately, you see how they line up together. That’s where things start making more sense.
