India VIX increased by 3.77% to close at days high 16.77 touching an intra-day high of 16.96.
Significant addition in call OI build up at lower strikes such as 5600, 5700 & 5500 indicates very bearish sentiments in the markets. The shifting of highest put OI build up from 5600 to 5500 clearly confirms the weakness in the markets.
