Worth knowing
the rise is short covering rather than fresh buying, which historically runs out when the shorts are done
The most recent financials the exchange publishes for CDSL are 20 months old, so everything above about the business is history rather than a current read.
What would change this read: a close below 1,342, its 200-day average.

What the scans say today
8 of 47 matched on 2026-08-21
CDSL matches 8 of the 47 scans today, across 4 different kinds of evidence. Three or more independent families agreeing is uncommon — it is the same test the shortlist on every page uses.
CDSL trades at 52× trailing earnings, close to its median of 55× over this window. The band runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile, so single-day spikes do not set the edges.
This window is short by the standards of valuation history — it begins where four quarters of filed earnings first exist. A stock can look cheap against two years and expensive against ten.

Short Covering
Price up, open interest down. Sellers are closing, not buyers arriving. Rallies built only on this tend not to last once the shorts are out.

How to read this
Open interest is contracts still open, so a rise means new positions and a fall means positions closing. Combined with price direction that gives the state on the left. The walls are the strikes carrying the most open interest near expiry — levels other people are watching, not levels the price is obliged to respect. A future below spot means sellers are paying to be short.
