Summary

Tanmay analyzes the NSE auction's failure on rebalance day, revealing it is 4x worse than normal due to depth issues rather than design flaws. He details Nifty's 141-point drop despite record institutional buying, highlighting a divergence where foreigners bought cash but shorted index futures. With Sensex expiring today, he advises traders to avoid chasing the gap-up open, instead waiting for confirmation at key support levels before entering positions.
