5. Heat Map

A heat map is a smart color-coded map that shows what’s hot and what’s not in the market at that very moment. 

The Paytm Money heat map shows four different scenarios like long buildup, short buildup, short covering, and long unwinding. 

LBU – When both price and OI go up, it is a long buildup indicating that more people are expecting the price to go up and creating long positions.

SBU – When the price goes down and OI goes up, it is a short buildup indicating that more people are expecting the price to go down and creating short positions. 

SC – When price goes up and OI goes down, it is a short covering as rising price forces the short sellers to close their short positions.

LU – When both price and OI go down, it is a long unwinding as long-term security holders are either booking profits or selling the security in anticipation of impending bearishness.
