NIFTY : Trading levels for 18-Jun-2025

📘 NIFTY TRADING PLAN – 18-Jun-2025
🕒 Chart Timeframe: 15-min | 📍 Previous Close: 24,841.50
📏 Gap Opening Threshold: 100+ points

1. 🔼 GAP-UP OPENING (Above 24,964):
   If NIFTY opens above the No Trade Zone (24,864) by more than 100 points, the price will likely test the upper resistance zone near 25,054 (Last Intraday Resistance).
   
   ✅ Plan of Action:
   • Avoid chasing right at open. Observe the first 15–30 mins for confirmation above 25,054.
   • Sustainable move above 25,054: Look for long trades toward 25,244, with SL below 25,000.
   • Rejection at 25,054 zone: Consider short trades only if there’s a clear reversal pattern, targeting back toward 24,864.
   • Book profits partially near 25,150 if long, as market may consolidate.
   
   📘 Educational Tip: Sharp gap-ups often face profit booking at resistance zones. Focus on confirmation via strong candles + volume to avoid false moves.
   
          
   
   
2. ⚖️ FLAT OPENING (Between 24,770 – 24,864):
   Flat open near the No Trade Zone (24,770 – 24,864) suggests indecision or potential sideways movement early in the session.
   
   ✅ Plan of Action:
   • No Trade inside this band until clear breakout or breakdown is seen.
   • Break above 24,864: Consider intraday longs toward 25,054, SL below 24,820.
   • Break below 24,770: Enter shorts targeting 24,626, with SL above 24,800.
   • Avoid trading between 24,770–24,864 during consolidation — it’s where stop losses typically get hit from both sides.
   
   📘 Educational Tip: Trading in the No Trade Zone is like catching a coin toss — instead, let market pick a direction, then follow it with clarity.
   
          
   
   
3. 🔽 GAP-DOWN OPENING (Below 24,670):
   A gap-down below 24,770, especially near or under the Last Intraday Support – 24,626, brings into play the Buyer’s Support Zone (24,253 – 24,320).
   
   ✅ Plan of Action:
   • If opening is near 24,626 and shows breakdown below, ride shorts till 24,420 – 24,320.
   • Look for potential reversal setups inside 24,253–24,320 zone for long trades.
   • Reclaiming 24,626 with bullish candles could invite short-covering.
   • Avoid new shorts inside Buyer’s Zone unless breakdown below 24,253 happens with volume and structure.
   
   📘 Educational Tip: Gaps near support zones give best long risk/reward, but never buy blindly — wait for confirmation candle + sustained buying interest.
   
          
   
   🛡 OPTIONS TRADING RISK MANAGEMENT TIPS:
   
   ✅ 1. Wait 15–30 mins post-open to avoid false breakouts or reversal traps.
   ✅ 2. Avoid over-leveraging on gap days — increase accuracy, reduce lot size.
   ✅ 3. Prefer spreads (Bull Call/Bear Put) if volatility is high to control premium erosion.
   ✅ 4. Use SL on candle close basis (preferably 15-min), not just trigger wicks.
   ✅ 5. Exit intraday trades 10–15 mins before close if targets aren't hit to avoid time decay spikes.
