Fri, 30 Oct, 2026Neutral day: a failed break below the IB sent buyers up 23172.9, then the auction rotated back to the middleNIFTY futures opened inside the prior day's value, broke below the initial balance to 22955, failed there, then broke above the IB high and ran to 23172.9 before rotating back to close mid-range at 23106. The failed downside attempt released the upside move, but excess at both ends and the down-sloping longer timeframe kept it a two-sided neutral day with value only modestly higher.Thu, 29 Oct, 2026Trend day up: open test drive broke prior supply, built higher value and closed on the highNIFTY futures tested the open at 22712.2, then drove higher through the previous day's high and selling tail, and extended in two legs to close at 23046.2 near the high. Buyers one-timeframed all day, left a long buying tail as excess at the low, and accepted price above yesterday's supply, so value migrated sharply higher.Wed, 28 Oct, 2026Neutral day: gap-down sellers failed below IB, buyers ran to prior value, excess capped both ends.NIFTY futures gapped below the prior day's range, broke the IB low to 22567, then reversed through the IB high to 22870.8 before settling in the middle near 22773. The downside break found no follow-through and left a buying tail, and the failed move fuelled a fast rally that stalled inside the prior session's value, so the day ended balanced with rejection at both extremes.Tue, 27 Oct, 2026Neutral expiry day: both IB extensions rejected, old supply capped the high, close back at value center.NIFTY futures opened inside the prior day's value, set a wide 158-point initial balance, then broke out above it in G and below it in J–K, and both breaks failed before closing near VWAP and POC. Neither side could get acceptance outside the morning range: an old selling tail capped the high and buyers left excess at the low, which is a balanced, two-sided neutral day.Mon, 26 Oct, 2026Normal day: A probe rejected at prior demand, B rallied into supply, buyers closed near the high.NIFTY futures set a 345-point initial balance in the first hour: a drop to 22444.6 was rejected, a rally ran to 22790, and the rest of the day stayed inside that range before closing at 22772 near the high. A probe into the previous session's buying tail left excess at the low, the morning pullback never threatened it, and afternoon initiative buying lifted value higher.Fri, 23 Oct, 2026Open test up rejected at 22851; value moved 120 points lower and the multi-day balance broke downNIFTY opened above the prior day's value, tested higher to 22851 and was rejected hard, leaving a long selling tail. Sellers then extended the range down to 22435 and built value well below yesterday's. A sharp afternoon short-covering rally faded, and the session closed mid-range, just below VWAP.Thu, 22 Oct, 2026Normal variation day: buying tail at the low, prior singles capped the high, value rotated lowerNIFTY futures opened below the prior day's range, rejected 22555 with a buying tail, then extended up through the IB only to stall at the prior session's unrepaired single prints near 22814. The rest of the day rotated inside a D-shaped profile with value overlapping lower, so neither side won control.Wed, 21 Oct, 2026Failed open drive turns into a trend day down, leaving a double distribution and lower valueNIFTY futures drove up at the open to 23135, the prior value high, but B gave back the whole move, and the IB low broke at 11:30 into a 472-point trend day down that closed near the low. The upside drive failed just under prior supply, and those buyers had to exit, so sellers controlled every later period except a late buying tail.
