Trade Setup for October 27: Top 15 things to know before the opening bell ahead of F&O expiry
Moneycontrol.com 1 hr ago·26 Oct 2026, 5:45 pm
Indian equity markets are set for a volatile session on October 27 as investors brace for the monthly F&O expiry. This quarterly settlement date often brings heightened activity, with traders actively managing their positions to avoid rollovers. The Sensex and Nifty 50 will likely see significant intraday swings driven by this standard market cycle.
For retail investors, this period is critical as liquidity flows shift between cash and derivatives markets. Traders often unwind positions, which can impact stock prices across the board. While the broader market sentiment will be influenced by global cues, the expiry itself acts as a key trigger for short-term volatility.
Moving forward, keep an eye on the Nifty 50’s movement around the 20,000 level and the Bank Nifty’s performance. Monitoring the breadth of the market—whether broader indices are participating in the rally—will also provide insight into the underlying strength of the current trend.
