NS ATM at close was 130 yest, around 110-120 since morning.

Right about the vix. It's up 10% today. Maybe that is the reason for the premium in the options.

Maybe a precursor to a humpty dumpty scenario

Booked small loss in banknifty CE this morning and sitting tight now. What I booked out at 316 is gone up to 450 now

How does he know if this was a fresh trade or a square off trade? Or a hedge? Many different combos...

Maybe the order was placed through the algo trader.

I didn't pay much attention to the algos when I visited Fintech last year, but a superficial visit tells you that all these algo traders allow the flexibility of manual input of orders or manual confirmation of the generated orders.

It's possible as an expiry lottery. You can see that in Banknifty expiry almost every week. I think that if you check the sensex options (I don't watch those) on Friday noon, you will see 2-3 different moves every week in the last 30 minutes.
