In the last completed session, Axis Bank Ltd. closed -5.47% with futures open interest moving +7.2%. That combination — price falling while OI builds — is classified as Short Buildup.

Max-pain strike at ₹1,280 sits 1.7% above the current price, a mild magnet near expiry.

There have been no notable bulk or block deals from FIIs, mutual funds, or insurance companies in Axis Bank Ltd. over the last 30 sessions.
