Wall Street was dark on Friday, so India closed the week on its own, green for a third straight day and above 24,200 for the first time this move: Nifty 24,270.85, with the fear gauge down at 11.83. But the real story sits under the tape. On Friday the foreign desk flipped to a net buyer, ₹1,355 crore in cash, and trimmed its index-futures short again. Yet it stayed net long 5,47,349 stock futures while holding a short-index, long-put book. It bought the market and kept the seatbelt on. Inside: the full Pro, FII and Client positioning, the exact option book, the open-interest map into Tuesday's expiry, and the levels that matter, 24,000 the anchor, 24,300 the gear-change, 24,500 the ceiling. POV: buy the dips, respect 24,200, keep a cheap hedge. Educational, not investment advice.
