Nifty shorts hit a six-month high in worst September F&O series in 25 years. Time for extra caution?

Nifty’s September derivatives series was the worst in 25 years, with the index falling 6.7% as foreign investors sharply increased bearish bets. FII index shorts hit a six-month high, while stock-futures exposure remained net long. With Nifty near key long-term support and market breadth weakening, analysts advise caution.
