Buy sidecar curbs on program buy orders were triggered for three consecutive sessions from July 31 to Aug. 4 for the first time. Analysts cite deleveraging in margin loans and renewed institutional buying, while cautioning it is too early to call a structural uptrend.

They call for stronger investor protections rather than delisting.
