CLBS V18 CONCLUSION
Expect a rotational expiry session unless price escapes the 23,500–23,700 control zone. FIIs still hold the directional edge through futures positioning, while dealers remain comfortable with low volatility and positive gamma. A sustained move above 23,700 shifts the auction toward 23,900–24,000. Acceptance below 23,500 increases the probability of 23,350–23,200.
