💼 NIFTY TRADING PLAN – 09-Oct-2025

📊 Chart Reference: 15-min Timeframe
📍 Last Close: 25,023.80 | 🔻 Change: -12.60 pts (-0.05%)
📅 Analysis Based on Psychological and Technical Levels

🔍 Key Technical Zones

🟧 Opening Resistance: 25,113
🟧 Last Intraday Resistance: 25,160
🟥 Major Resistance: 25,260
🟩 Buyer’s Try Zone: 25,094 – 24,935
🟢 Next Support: 24,721

📈 Scenario 1 – Gap Up Opening (100+ pts above 25,123)

If Nifty opens around or above the 25,150–25,180 zone, it will enter near the last intraday resistance area.

1. []Initial candles should be observed for supply reaction. If prices sustain above 25,160 for 15–30 minutes, momentum traders may expect a rally toward 25,260 — the next psychological resistance.
   []However, if price shows rejection at 25,160 and fails to close above it on a 15-min basis, expect a pullback toward 25,050–25,014.
   []Fresh buying should only be considered after a breakout and retest above 25,160, confirming strength.
   []Aggressive short traders can consider small risk entries near 25,250–25,260 only if reversal candles appear.

🧠 Educational Note:
A gap-up opening near resistance zones often triggers early profit booking. Let the market reveal its true direction before acting. Avoid emotional entries in the first 15 minutes.

⚖️ Scenario 2 – Flat Opening (Around 25,000 ± 50 pts)

A flat start indicates indecision and offers balanced opportunities.

1. []If Nifty holds 25,014–25,040 and rebounds, a short-term long trade can be considered with targets near 25,113 → 25,160.
   []A sustained move above 25,160 could extend gains to 25,260, but watch volume confirmation.
   []If the index slips below 25,014, sellers might test the Buyer’s Try Zone (25,094–24,935) where a strong reversal can occur.
   []Any hourly candle close below 24,935 may open the gate for deeper correction toward 24,721.

💡 Educational Note:
Flat openings work best when traders plan both sides. Use 15-min candle confirmations and align with broader trend direction from hourly charts.

📉 Scenario 3 – Gap Down Opening (100+ pts below 24,930)

A gap down would place Nifty straight into or below the Buyer’s Try Zone.

1. []Observe price behavior near 24,935–24,900. If buyers defend this zone with strong green candles, expect a sharp intraday pullback toward 25,014 → 25,113.
   []Failure to sustain above 24,900 may accelerate decline toward 24,721, a crucial swing support.
   []Avoid shorting aggressively at open — wait for a 15-min candle close below 24,900 for confirmation.
   []Reversal traders can build long exposure gradually with tight stops below 24,720 if support holds.

🧠 Educational Note:
Gap-down opens often induce panic. The key is not to chase moves. Let the market test support and confirm reversal before committing capital.

🛡️ Risk Management Tips for Options Traders

• []Keep position size within 2–3% of total capital for each trade.
  []Always define a stop loss based on candle close, not just intraday wicks.
  []Avoid trading OTM options during volatile sessions; use near ATM strikes for better delta control.
  []If volatility spikes, consider switching to spreads (bull call / bear put) to limit theta decay.
  []Respect time decay — avoid holding positions beyond 2:30 PM unless trend is very clear.
  []Never revenge trade after a stop-loss hit; remember, risk control = long-term survival. 🔒

📊 Summary & Conclusion

• []Nifty remains in a short-term corrective phase, with 25,160 acting as a crucial breakout level.
  []A move above 25,160 could lift prices toward 25,260, while rejection may invite selling pressure.
  []Support sits near 25,014 and deeper at 24,935–24,721.
  []Traders should focus on confirmation rather than prediction — patience and discipline will decide profitability.
