What to watch

- Volume spikes or circuit filters on Future group tickers
- FMCG/consumer demand data and quarterly results from ITC and Vedant Fashions
- Broad market breadth—number of 52-week highs sustaining
- Rotate coverage toward FMCG/branded-retail quality names (ITC, Patanjali Foods, Vedant Fashions) as beneficiaries of the shift in consumer spend
- Flag Future group as high-risk/avoid; monitor insolvency and lender-recovery filings rather than trading fundamentals
