- Bank Nifty Feb 31000CE, which is 600 points away, just 3 more days for expiry, closed around Rs 65. This is huge premium.
- When our markets opened yesterday, Dow futures were down by 300 points.
- That started falling more and more and at one point it was down 850 points.

- SBI Card IPO is near, so there may not be any more selling in SBI.
- I expect SBI Card issue to be a huge success and SBI will trade positive in March series as well.
- Markets can be highly volatile as we are very close to expiry.
- There is huge shorting in F&O by FIIS. There is little premium in next month series.
- So there is no incentive to rollover the Shorts.
