F&O Dead-Cat Fade — Bounce Inside 1D Downtrend

India F&O SELL signal India F&O — Reversal INTRADAY

Short-the-bounce setup: 1D downtrend intact (price below SMA50) but today's session shows a sharp counter-trend bounce. Relative volume low (≤1.2×) — buyers fading, no real demand. Short on first 15m lower-high after the bounce exhaustion per scaffold. Same-day close.

The edge — what this scanner is hunting

Bounce in a downtrend + falling OI + RSI mid = fade the dead-cat bounce. When stocks below SMA50 rally 1.5–6% but OI is dropping, the bounce is short covering, not new buying. Faded historically.

How it fires

price < sma_50 + 1.5 < change_pct < 6 + -25 < oi_change_pct < 0 + RSI 42–62.
