Analysis what the data is telling us about CDSL

In the last completed session, Central Depository Services (India) Ltd. closed +2.16% with futures open interest moving -1.3%. That combination — price rising while OI shrinks — is classified as Short Covering. It typically reflects existing short sellers closing positions, not fresh buying.
