NIFTY : Trading levels and Plan for 22-Sep-2025

NIFTY TRADING PLAN – 22-Sep-2025

The index closed around 25,352, with immediate opening resistance at 25,363, and higher hurdles near 25,409 (last intraday resistance) and 25,461. On the downside, supports are placed at 25,291 (opening/last intraday support) and the 25,189–25,204 zone. The critical lower support is seen at 25,045.

Considering a gap opening threshold of 100+ points, let’s break down the intraday scenarios:

1. 🚀 Gap Up Opening (100+ points above previous close)
   
   If Nifty opens strongly above 25,450–25,461, it will enter a bullish zone.
   
   Sustaining above 25,461 can fuel momentum towards 25,525–25,600. Option traders can look for call buying opportunities with strict stop-losses.
   
   However, if rejection candles appear near 25,461, profit booking may drag Nifty back towards 25,409–25,363. This would offer a counter-trade opportunity for cautious intraday shorting.
   
   Risk control is essential here: wait for 15–30 minutes confirmation after gap-ups to avoid false breakouts.
   
   
2. ⚖️ Flat Opening (near 25,300–25,350 zone)
   
   If Nifty opens flat, then 25,363 (resistance) and 25,291 (support) become immediate reference points.
   
   A decisive breakout above 25,363 can push prices towards 25,409 and further to 25,461. Sustaining beyond this level confirms bullish continuation.
   
   On the other hand, if Nifty fails to cross 25,363 and slips below 25,291, then weakness may extend towards 25,189–25,204 zone.
   
   This setup is best suited for breakout traders who can wait for price confirmation before entering directional trades.
   
   
3. 📉 Gap Down Opening (100+ points below previous close)
   
   If Nifty opens sharply below 25,200, it will test the last intraday support zone of 25,189–25,204.
   
   A bounce from this zone can trigger a quick pullback rally towards 25,291–25,363.
   
   But if the index sustains below 25,189, then deeper downside towards 25,045 becomes highly probable. In such a case, put options could provide high reward trades, but strict stop-loss is a must since sharp pullbacks often occur at key supports.
   

🛡️ Risk Management & Option Trading Tips

• [] Always allow the first 15–30 minutes to set direction before entering.
  [] Use hourly candle close as confirmation for breakout trades.
  [] In gap scenarios, avoid aggressive chasing; instead, wait for retests of key levels.
  [] Maintain at least a 1:2 risk-reward ratio for consistency.
  
• Limit position sizing in options as premiums erode quickly due to time decay.
  

📌 Summary & Conclusion

Above 25,461, Nifty may head towards 25,525–25,600 🚀.

Flat openings will keep focus on 25,363 (resistance) and 25,291 (support) ⚖️.

Below 25,189, bearish momentum may extend towards 25,045 📉.

Patience and disciplined execution around these levels can provide the best trading opportunities.
