BANKNIFTY : Trading levels and Plan for 08-Apr-2025

📊 BANK NIFTY TRADING PLAN – 08-Apr-2025
Chart Timeframe: 15-Minute
Previous Close: 49,985.95

🔍 Key Zones to Monitor:
🔴 Last Intraday Resistance: 50,763
🟠 Opening Resistance: 50,148
🟡 No Trade Zone: 49,510 – 49,690
🟧 Opening Support: 49,690
🟤 Last Intraday Support: 49,511
🟢 Buyer’s Support Zone: 49,055 – 48,941

🔼 Scenario 1: Gap-Up Opening (200+ points above 50,148)
If Bank Nifty opens above 50,350+, we will be opening above the key Opening Resistance zone and heading toward the Last Intraday Resistance at 50,763.

📌 Plan of Action:

1. [] Wait for price to sustain above 50,148 post-opening. If it consolidates or retests and bounces back, long positions can be initiated with a target toward 50,500 – 50,763.
   [] Be cautious near 50,763 – this is a supply zone. Avoid chasing the rally without volume confirmation. Watch for reversal candles like bearish engulfing or shooting stars to go short.
   [] If a fake breakout occurs and price closes back below 50,148 on 15-min chart, it may trap bulls — consider shorting toward 49,985 → 49,690.
   [] Do not enter trades in the first 15 minutes; wait for confirmation via price action or retest of support/resistance.
   

💡 Tip: Gap-up openings near resistance are often traps. Smart traders wait for confirmation rather than entering impulsively.

⚖️ Scenario 2: Flat Opening (Between 49,985 – 50,148)
If the market opens flat or slightly positive near 49,985, we are just below the Opening Resistance. The immediate focus will be on whether price can break and sustain above it.

📌 Plan of Action:

1. [] Breakout above 50,148 with strength can lead to a move toward 50,500 → 50,763. Enter long only if 15-min candle closes above 50,148 with strong momentum.
   [] If price fails to break and sustains below 50,148, it may slip into the No Trade Zone: 49,690 – 49,510. Avoid fresh entries here unless you see clear price structure.
   [] Look for a bounce setup from the bottom of the range 49,690 with reversal signs to go long back toward 49,985+.
   [] If price breaks and closes below 49,690, short opportunities open toward 49,511 → 49,055.
   

💡 Tip: In flat openings, let the price action build structure. First breakout or breakdown from initial balance often gives the best R:R trade.

🔽 Scenario 3: Gap-Down Opening (200+ points below 49,690)
A gap-down below 49,490 puts the price near Last Intraday Support or even in the Buyers’ Support Zone (49,055 – 48,941).

📌 Plan of Action:

1. [] Monitor price behavior near 49,055 – 48,941 zone. This is a high-probability reversal zone. Look for bullish patterns like hammer or double bottom on 15-min chart to go long.
   [] If support breaks decisively below 48,941, avoid buying the dip — price may head toward new lows.
   [] Wait for retest and rejection near 49,511 – 49,690 if price attempts to fill the gap. That area becomes strong resistance in case of pullback.
   [] Ideal trades are reversal longs from buyer zone or breakdown shorts below 48,941 on confirmation.
   

💡 Tip: Gap-downs often trigger panic. Smart traders fade extreme sentiment near strong support zones but always with confirmation and stop loss.

🛡️ Options Trading Risk Management Tips
✅ Avoid Blind Buying of OTM Options: Especially on gap openings. Wait for volatility to settle post 15–30 mins.

✅ Use Spreads to Limit Risk: Bull Call Spreads or Bear Put Spreads reduce theta and vega risks in uncertain zones.

✅ Stick to Defined Stop Loss: Preferably based on 15-minute candle closing, not absolute price.

✅ Keep Position Size in Check: Risk only 1–2% of your capital per trade. Control drawdowns.

✅ Avoid Overtrading Inside No Trade Zone: This zone is for observation, not execution, unless structure develops clearly.

✅ Watch Option Greeks: Stay alert on delta and theta, especially near expiry or IV crush zones.
