The Nifty 50 index gained 7.5% in the week gone by led mainly by the largecap stocks that took the index from the lows of 22,500 to past 25,000 levels by the time trading closed on Friday. The rally seen in largecap stocks could have also been accelerated due to one significant factor - the bearish leveraged positions that got liquidated, as per trends available in the Margin Trading Facility (MTF) book during this period.
Based on the data analysed from the NSE MTF book between October 30 - November 6, 2026, most of the stocks that saw a decline in their MTF positions were Nifty 50 constituents.
The biggest liquidation in positions came from HDFC Bank, whose positions declined by ₹883 crore, to just over ₹2,100 crore as of November 6, whereas the figure at the end of October 30 stood at nearly ₹3,000 crore.
