ℹ
Swing Trend Model: This gauge tracks short-term momentum using a weighted score of the 10-day SMA, 20-day SMA, SMA crossovers, 14-day RSI, daily close, and a smart modifier based on the FII Index Futures Long-Short Ratio:
- Bullish Momentum: +10 points if the FII Long-Short Ratio is between 40% and 75% and rising (healthy accumulation).
- Caution / Overbought: -10 points if the ratio climbs above 75% (warning of potential exhaustion).
- Contrarian Bullish: +10 points if the ratio is below 20% but starting to turn upward (short-covering has begun).

Understanding the EOD Market Snapshot & Technical Summary
The EOD (End of Day) Market Snapshot provides a comprehensive, data-driven daily analysis of the Indian stock market, focusing on Nifty 50, Sensex, and Bank Nifty performance. By aggregating price action, institutional flows, derivatives positioning, and technical indicator scans, this dashboard serves as an essential tool for retail traders and investors to gauge overall market structure and directional bias.
Key Components of the EOD Analysis Suite:
- Swing Trend Gauges: Track Nifty and Bank Nifty momentum over multi-day windows using a proprietary technical model that blends SMAs, RSI, and institutional derivatives positioning.
- Smart Money Flows: Real-time tracking of FII (Foreign Institutional Investors) and DII (Domestic Institutional Investors) daily cash market net flows, plus index futures open interest data.
- Market Breadth: Real-time advances-declines ratio across Nifty 500 stocks to assess whether price actions are supported by broad market participation.
- Option Chain Data: Displays Putnam-Call Ratio (PCR), Option Pain levels, and open interest accumulations to identify key support and resistance zones.
Using EOD Snapshots to Qualify Trade Setups:
Traders utilize the EOD snapshot to understand whether the market is in an accumulation, distribution, or trending phase. Aligning individual breakout trades (such as VCP or Hilega Milega setups) with the broader market trend and FII derivatives positioning significantly increases win-rates while minimizing overall risk exposure.
