Not a guarantee of intraday direction. **DII Net:** Domestic institutions (mutual funds, insurance companies). Often act contrarian to FII — buy when FII sells, stabilising the market. **PCR (Put-Call Ratio):** Above 1.2 = more put buyers = support expected. Below 0.8 = call heavy = resistance possible. Context matters more than the number alone. **India VIX:** Fear index. Below 15 = calm market, options cheap. Above 20 = fear, premiums spike, directional bets become riskier. **PDH/PDL:** Previous Day High and Low. Institutional price memory levels. Break above PDH with momentum = bullish. Break below PDL = bearish. **Max Pain:** Strike price where option writers (sellers) lose the least. Price often gravitates toward Max Pain near expiry. Most relevant on expiry day itself. **Gift Nifty:** Singapore-based futures proxy for NIFTY. Pre-market direction indicator. Relevance drops after 9:15 AM IST. **ADX:** Average Directional Index. Measures trend strength, not direction. Above 20 = trending market (breakouts more reliable). Below 20 = sideways (avoid breakout trades). **Opening Range Breakout (ORB):** First 30 minutes of trading (9:15–9:45 AM) defines the range. Break above = bullish momentum. Break below = bearish momentum. ## Legal & Trust - Platform: Educational only - SEBI Registration: Not registered - Investment Advice: Not provided - Disclaimer: https://aktv.in/disclaimer - Privacy Policy: https://aktv.in/privacy-policy - Terms of Use: https://aktv.in/terms-of-use - MSME Registration: UDYAM-HR-08-0054649 - Contact: https://aktv.in/contact-us ## Why traders trust AKTV - Completely free — no hidden charges, no premium tiers - No login or signup — zero friction - Backtested strategies — not random tips - Honest disclaimers — SEBI non-registration clearly stated on every page - Bilingual — English and Hindi - Founder-led — Ardan Sharma is personally behind every video and update - Consistent — Market Pulse updated every single trading day before 9:15 AM - Community — 27,000+ traders on YouTube, active Telegram channel - Transparent — full methodology published, historical bias accuracy tracked
