By | June 3, 2025 10:08 pm

FII Index Futures Positioning – 03 June 2025

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) maintain a strong bearish stance

On 03 June 2025, FIIs continued to build on their bearish bias in the Nifty Index Futures segment, with significant short additions pointing to rising caution ahead of key macro events like the RBI Policy outcome on June 5.

FIIs Activity Snapshot

  • Contracts Shorted: 10,194

  • Total Value: ₹1,897 crore

  • Net Open Interest Change: +10,120 contracts
    → This indicates fresh short positions, not just rollovers or unwinding.

Breaking Down FII Activity

Activity Contracts
Longs Covered 877
Shorts Added 13,211

FIIs are rapidly increasing downside protection and directional bearish bets.


Client Activity

  • Longs Added: 8,976

  • Shorts Added: 1,563

Retail/DII clients are still net long, indicating confidence in short-term market stability or bounce-back.


Current Positioning in Index Futures

Category Long % Short % Long:Short Ratio
FIIs 17% 83% 0.20
Clients 62% 38% 1.61

FIIs: Deeply short-heavy — highest bearish exposure in recent weeks.
Clients: Strong bullish tilt — possibly banking on support zones and macro triggers (like RBI rate policy) to reverse sentiment.


Interpretation & Market Outlook

  • This is the third consecutive session of heavy FII shorting — aligning with tight range behavior in Nifty near 25,000.

  • The 17:83 long-short ratio shows aggressive downside hedging or directional bearish play from FIIs.

  • With the RBI policy decision due on June 6, this aggressive stance could be anticipatory of policy disappointment, liquidity risk, or global volatility spillover.

Final Note

With FIIs heavily short and Clients overly long, the next 2–3 sessions will be crucial for determining trend continuation or reversal. The outcome of RBI’s stance and global cues (bond yields, dollar index) will likely drive the next major directional leg.

Traders are advised to stay hedged, avoid directional over-leverage, and watch for volatility spikes tied to macro triggers.

Nifty formed a bearish outside bar today — a strong signal indicating the potential beginning of a new trend, especially as we approach a critical macro event: the RBI Monetary Policy on 5 June 2025.


Key Technical Setup

  • Outside Bar Candle: Typically signals exhaustion of the prior trend and sets the stage for trend reversal or continuation with strength.

  • 3×4 Gann Angle Support: Price is hovering near this crucial level. Historically, these angles often serve as major inflection points.

  • ⚠️ Below Double Ingress Low: Despite the bounce attempts, price remains below the Venus-Mercury Double Ingress low, reinforcing the importance of this resistance.

Astro-Tech Confluence

  • New Trend Cycle: With the market rejecting higher levels post-ingress and Mercury now fully conjunct the Sun, we are entering a zone where price + time + event align — a classic Gann trigger.

  • 04 June was the date last year when Nifty was down 8% due to Lok Sabha Results. Gann 1 Year Cycle also in Play.

Level to Watch: 24,500

  • A sustained close below 24,500 will likely confirm bearish momentum and open the downside toward:

    • 24,389 – previous support

    • 24,211–24,144 – gap-fill zone if selling accelerates

  • On the upside, bulls will regain strength only above 24,640, which would negate today’s outside bar setup.


What’s Ahead

  • RBI Policy (June 5):
    With FIIs maintaining high short positions and Nifty forming an outside bar near major Gann levels, expect increased volatility leading into the policy.

  • Volatility Spike?
    The Sun-Mercury aspect and pre-policy uncertainty make this a prime time for a breakout or breakdown over the next two sessions.

Options Market Activity – 03 June 2025

Retail Remains Aggressively Active While FIIs Maintain a Hedged Outlook

Today’s options data reflects continued hedging and mixed sentiment, especially ahead of the crucial RBI policy meeting on June 6. Let’s break down how both Retail traders and FIIs positioned themselves.


Retail Activity in Options Market

Call Options:

  • Added: 875K contracts

  • Shorted: 682K contracts

Put Options:

  • Added: 122K contracts

  • Shorted: 34K contracts

Interpretation:
Retail participants were net long on calls, suggesting continued bullish sentiment or speculation around a bounce. However, the heavy call writing also indicates that many are betting against a major breakout above 25,000. Put buying was relatively light, indicating moderate downside hedging.

➡️ Net Retail Bias: Mildly bullish with a hedge-light setup, vulnerable if market breaks below key support.


FII Activity in Options Market

Call Options:

  • Added: 34K contracts

  • Shorted: 109K contracts

Put Options:

  • Added: 54K contracts

  • Shorted: 115K contracts

Interpretation:
FIIs are continuing with their net short options strategy, particularly:

  • Call writing dominates call buying → bearish to neutral view, likely expecting consolidation below resistance.

  • Put shorting is slightly higher than put buying → hinting at a view that major downside is not imminent or that they are funding call shorts via puts.

➡️ Net FII Bias: Neutral to mildly bearish, playing range and volatility more than strong directional conviction.


Market Sentiment Summary

Segment Net Call View Net Put View Overall Bias
Retail Long-biased Light Hedge Moderately Bullish
FIIs Heavy Writing Net Neutral to Long Neutral to Bearish

Strategic Takeaways

  • Retail longs may be underestimating downside risks with limited put protection.

  • FIIs are playing range compression, consistent with broader VIX cooling and post-event uncertainty.

  • With price rejection at 25,000, the options positioning reinforces a tight range unless key levels are decisively breached.


What to Watch

    • Expiry-wise OI near the 24,500 and 25,000 strikes to assess max pain zones.

    • RBI outcome reaction → a surprise (on rates or liquidity tools) could cause violent unwinding of these neutral structures.

    • Global cues (USDINR, crude, bond yields) that may disrupt this fragile balance.

In the cash segment, Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) sold 2853 Cr  , while Domestic Institutional Investors (DII) bought 5907 cr.
