In the last completed session, Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd. closed +0.49% with futures open interest moving -0.5%. That combination — price rising while OI shrinks — is classified as Short Covering. It typically reflects existing short sellers closing positions, not fresh buying.

Max-pain strike at ₹3,250 sits 2.1% above the current price, a mild magnet near expiry.
