Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
Desk order-flow tracking shows NIFTY 50 holding firm at 24,986.40 (-0.18%) following a MSS at 23,175.25, while real-money bids continue to defend value relative to the 24,058.42 equilibrium pivot. Pullbacks into the 22,372.00–22,742.20 Bullish Order Block are being monitored for absorption, while 26,155.10–26,340.00 marks the overhead liquidity ceiling. An unmitigated Bullish Fair Value Gap (24,579.90–24,985.30) provides an additional magnet for dip-buying rebalancing. Pre-Market Gameplan: Look for continuation toward the 25,285.75 liquidity target as long as price holds above the 24,546.19 structural invalidation level.

Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
Institutional structure on INDIAVIX remains upward-biased at 18.43 (+5.50%); recent BOS at 18.00 displacement confirms buyers are absorbing supply inside the Equilibrium Neutral regime (18.88 midpoint).

An unmitigated Bullish Fair Value Gap (11.04–11.77) provides an additional magnet for dip-buying rebalancing.
