PostMortem on BankNifty Today & Analysis of 19 JAN 2023 expiry
Honestly was expecting a turbulent and volatile expiry day today after
SPX
fell 1.56% &
DJI
1.81% overnight.
I was quite shocked to see
BANKNIFTY
pre-open rate of only -0.1% & i assumed we may tank close to 1.5 to 2% today. But what turned out was a boring choppy day in a narrowest possible range i have seen after Covid 2022 lockdown.
I got into the option in the opening 2mts itself and got good premiums and by 9.39 i saw the premium decay was okay enough and squared off the positions with the intend to re-enter once the premium spikes again.
I never got the reentry, in fact the collapse in options premium is again something i havent seen after Mar 2020. This is mainly because bank nifty did not swing at all today (only 272 pts between HOD and LOD) which means a swing of 0.3% from the median point.
Was i frustrated to lose out a re-entry - absolutely YES. But it never occurred to me to get into a selling position with the premium so low. So i just sat out and made peace with that decision.
Now coming back to trade set up tomorrow, i still believe we should swing the same way as the global trend is swinging. Today may be was expiry level positioning - if the US market fall continues, we wont be spared tomorrow.

The bank nifty components did make swing today, but whoever played the game today to keep the index in the range - really succeeded.
HDFCBANK
stayed positive right from the start and the range of swing today was 0.92%
ICICIBANK
had a swing of 0.97% today, but the price action was on the negative side
SBIN
had a swing of only 0.7% again the trade with a minor negative bias
AXISBANK
had a whooping 1.87% traded range today, the opening candle bringing huge volume as well. Final close was in green
KOTAKBANK
had a huge swing of 2.14%. the first candle itself contributing to 79% of that
INDUSINDBK
had the highest swing of unbelievable 4.89% with the bias to the negative side
Now it really makes sense not to believe that BN index remained in a short range today !

15mts & 1hr are not showing bullishness as the resistance level is not taken out, today's slow choppiness to the negative side may indicate the bulls are taking a short break. Sudden swings may wake them up!
