INFY Infosys Ltd. — Smart-Money Activity, F&O Buildup & Bulk Deals

Analysis what the data is telling us about INFY
In the last completed session, Infosys Ltd. closed +0.79% with futures open interest moving -1.2%. That combination — price rising while OI shrinks — is classified as Short Covering. It typically reflects existing short sellers closing positions, not fresh buying. Short-covering rallies can be sharp but tend to fade without follow-through demand. The option PCR of 0.72 is balanced — no clear directional preference from option writers. Max-pain strike at ₹1,140 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 Infosys Ltd. over the last 30 sessions.
Putting it together, the smart-money picture for Infosys Ltd. leans constructive into the next session.
