The session, as the panels saw it
Cash tape: buyers led — net +₹2 cr on ₹1,317 cr traded; first hour −₹30 cr, last hour −₹9 cr. A band-release minute at 10:16 (+₹3 cr) is left out — the first tick after a pinned run signs a whole minute.
Futures: sellers were the aggressor — net −₹3 cr on ₹943 cr; open interest −7.4 % from the open.
Book: futures book one-sided for 15 minutes · cash book one-sided for 14 minutes — a locked band, where the aggressor tape reads nothing.
