NIFTY : Trading levels and Plan for 08-Oct-2025

📊 NIFTY TRADING PLAN – 08-Oct-2025
💼 Levels to Watch:
• Opening / Last Intraday Resistance: 25,260 – 25,324
• Opening Support: 25,016
• Last Intraday Support Zone: 24,904 – 24,927
• Next Major Support: 24,721
• Previous Close: 25,079

🟢 1️⃣ GAP-UP OPENING (Above 25,180 – around 100+ points from previous close)

If Nifty opens with a gap-up near the 25,180–25,220 zone, it will quickly approach the 25,260 resistance, which also acted as the last intraday ceiling. This area will decide whether the bullish momentum can continue or if early selling pressure comes in.

✅ Plan of Action:

1. []Wait for the first 30-minute candle to confirm whether Nifty sustains above 25,260. If it holds, expect a move towards 25,324 and potentially 25,400.
   []If the price fails to hold above 25,260 and shows rejection, avoid chasing longs — a pullback toward 25,016–25,050 can occur as bulls try to regain strength.
   
2. Avoid aggressive buying immediately on the gap-up; instead, let the market confirm direction.
   

When the market opens with strength, it’s vital to wait for confirmation rather than reacting to the initial sentiment. This helps in avoiding false breakouts during the first 30 minutes of volatility.

🟧 2️⃣ FLAT OPENING (Around 25,050 ±100 points)

A flat opening near 25,050–25,100 creates an interesting zone between the Opening Support (25,016) and Resistance (25,260). This is where the market often consolidates before a directional move begins.

✅ Plan of Action:

1. []A clear hourly candle close above 25,260 will confirm strength and likely push Nifty toward 25,324–25,400.
   []If Nifty fails to break 25,260 and slips below 25,016, then weakness could expand toward 24,927 and even 24,721.
   
2. Use this range to observe whether institutions are accumulating or distributing — strong volume spikes often confirm the next trend.
   

Flat openings require patience — let the structure develop and price show its hand. Following confirmation keeps you aligned with the actual market bias rather than the expectation.

🔻 3️⃣ GAP-DOWN OPENING (Below 24,980 – around 100+ points from previous close)

If Nifty opens below 24,980, it will immediately challenge the 24,904–24,927 support zone. This region is critical — a bounce can attract short-covering, but a breakdown can accelerate the downside momentum.

✅ Plan of Action:

1. []If price shows reversal signals (like a hammer or bullish engulfing candle) near 24,904–24,927, a short-covering move toward 25,016 may occur.
   []If 24,904 fails to hold and price sustains below, expect further decline toward 24,721 — this can trigger panic selling or momentum shorts.
   
2. Avoid bottom-fishing on a large gap-down; instead, trade only after a proper price confirmation.
   

Gap-downs often come with emotional panic — being calm and waiting for a structured setup keeps you on the right side of the trade.

💡 RISK MANAGEMENT & OPTIONS TRADING TIPS

• []Avoid trading the first 15–30 minutes after a gap-up or gap-down — let volatility cool.
  []Always confirm trend with hourly candle closing before entering positional trades.
  []If the direction is uncertain, use spread strategies (Bull Call or Bear Put) to manage theta decay.
  []Avoid deep OTM options — pick strikes within the next 100–150 points for better delta and liquidity.
  
• Stick to 1–2% capital risk per trade to maintain consistency and avoid emotional losses.
  

📘 SUMMARY & CONCLUSION

The level 25,016 remains the crucial line for directional confirmation. Sustaining above it favors bulls, with 25,260–25,324 acting as resistance zones. However, weakness below 24,927 can push Nifty into a bearish phase toward 24,721.

The market is showing signs of short-term correction after a strong recovery, so patience and discipline will be key. Let the market confirm before acting — don’t anticipate, react wisely.
