Pls share your view on banknifty . Open high low close levels for this monday and this thursday expiry

Its so tough to predict open high close levels for an index esp like bank nifty. My view from last week has been that 38100-38300 Spot levels can act like resistance for the index.

I will be looking to short at these levels and then look to long near 37100-36850 zones.

So, basically that would be the range to work with for this week @HSL

Good Morning tqna buddies,

After a massive trending week, Expecting this week’s market to be rangebound.

range can be btwn 17600-18100

My bias id on more on the downside and I will be looking to short index on the rise .

EOD Update : Market as expected is heading to the upper end of the spectrum. I wont long at these zones in index.

Whereas stocks (small and midcaps) are on absolute fire as expected. I will book trading bets in stocks slowly and sit on cash by mid jan.

Good Morning tqna folks,

I will look to sell on rise (ill use the strategy of buying feb put options which will give me margin of safety in case of any adverse move )

I’ll be trying to buy 18500 and 18200 puts of feb slowly till this weekend. Im expecting 17700-650 to test once.

Stock specific longs can obviously be initiated till budget.

Update 1 : as expected 18160 level is now acting as support. further fall only below this level me thinks.
