That’s a complete turnaround compared with the extreme sentiment going into the state election verdict day with 91 percent of the scrips on negative side since start of this expiry.
About 60 percent of the stocks had seen a short build-up while 31 percent witnessed long liquidation since Nov. 30 until close of trade on Monday.
