Market Isn’t Manipulated — It’s Just Misunderstood

I’ve seen so many FinGurus, influencers, and even new students say that the Indian market or the index is “manipulated.”
Let me break that illusion today — the index is not manipulated.

When people don’t understand something, they either blame it… or glorify it.
The market is neither God nor a gangster.
It simply reflects data, structure, and behaviour — all visible on the chart.

If you’ve been reading my commentary daily, you already know the truth:
The market is predictable when you track the right technicals and price action.
Most people just don’t pay attention to the details.

Now let’s come back to NIFTY

Exactly as expected, today’s dip got bought immediately.
And yesterday I clearly wrote that if Nifty sustains above 26000 even on hourly, the Sell-on-Rise idea becomes invalid.

That’s exactly what happened.

So from here on, the approach shifts to Buy the Dip —
but only from intraday supports + OI buildup zones.

Pivot is at 26087 and Nifty is comfortably above it.
Pivot Percentile is wide, which usually signals a sideway day where dips get bought.

Based on the structure, I think Nifty may form an Inside Bar tomorrow —
a day where both sides get trapped and liquidity is absorbed quietly.

So my plan is simple:
I’ll wait for the Pivot to tighten and prepare for the next breakout opportunity.
If the index doesn’t move according to my plan, I won’t trade — no matter how big the breakout looks.

I only trade what I can plan. Nothing else.

Let’s see what tomorrow brings and then act accordingly.

Take care. Have a profitable tomorrow.
