Nifty plunged 2.14% to 22,331.4 on Monday’s monthly expiry, extending a six‑week slide for the index. (thehindu.com) Indian markets erased roughly ₹9 lakh crore in market value as Sensex dropped about 1,635 points on the same session. (livemint.com) The Reserve Bank of India announced a cap on banks’ end‑of‑day open rupee positions at $100 million, effective April 10, a move that forced position‑squaring and amplified intraday volatility. (bloomberg.com) That RBI action triggered a sharp currency squeeze — the rupee rallied as much as 1.4% intraday — while State Bank of India and HDFC Bank fell more than 2% and the banking pack extended a roughly 15% slide for the month. (bloomberg.com) Nifty’s option chain for the 30‑Mar‑2026 expiry showed total open interest near 20.58 crore with a day‑on‑day OI change of +13.68 crore (+198%), a put–call ratio around 1.09 and a max‑pain around the 22,600–22,700 band. (justticks.in) Front‑line brokers and technical desks flagged 22,600 and 22,450 as immediate support levels and advised short‑dated option spreads into early April, while weekly recommendations from SBI Securities’ technical desk guided stock picks for the week starting March 30. (moneycontrol.com) The April 10 compliance deadline for the $100m rupee‑position cap will overlap the early‑April expiry cycle, keeping dealers and option writers actively squaring books into the next round of weekly and monthly expiries.
