The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive5 supporting, 1 against, 0 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 1% above its 200-day average
  • up 4% over twelve months
  • matches trading far more than usual, which has beaten the market by +0.45 points over 20 sessions across 52,251 past signals
  • 5 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • futures show a long buildup — the move is being funded by new positions

Against

  • 1 of the scans it matches has historically underperformed the market

Worth knowing

  • nothing the data supports either way
What would change this read: a close below 400, its 200-day average; open interest reversing while price keeps going.
Assembled automatically from the figures on this page — the scans matched, their measured record, the filed financials, the derivatives positioning and the peer comparison. It is not a recommendation, no one has spoken to the company, and every claim above can be checked against a number further down this page.

What the scans say today

6 of 47 matched on 2026-08-21

Valuation against its own history

500 sessions since 2024-09-06
16×
median 18×
20×
now 20×
KOTAKBANK trades at 20× trailing earnings, above its median of 18× over this window — 9% more expensive than usual. 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.

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.
