Harmonic Patterns
USDCHF – M15 | Sell-Side Purge → Mitigation Rally → ContinuationPrice completed a textbook sell-side liquidity sweep, flushing weak longs below the range. The impulsive push down was real displacement. What followed is a forced bounce, driven by short covering and mitigation, not fresh demand.
Current price is retracing into a discounted supply / imbalance zone, where previous bearish orderflow originated. Structure remains bearish unless proven otherwise.

Part 2 Intraday Master Class How Option Prices Are Determined
The price of an option (premium) is influenced by several factors. The most important include:
1. Underlying Price
As price moves up:
Calls become expensive
Puts become cheaper
As price moves down:
Puts become expensive
Calls become cheaper
2. Volatility
Volatility (IV – Implied Volatility) has a huge impact.
High IV → Expensive premiums
Low IV → Cheaper premiums
IV reflects expected future movement.
3. Time to Expiry
Options decay faster as expiry approaches.
This is called Theta Decay.
Weekly options decay rapidly (especially last 3 days).
4. Interest Rates & Dividends
These influence option pricing slightly but are more relevant for institutional traders.
Part 12 Trading Master Class With ExpertsKey Terms Every Option Trader Must Know
Understanding certain terms is crucial before moving forward.
2.1 Strike Price
This is the pre-defined price at which the buyer can buy (call) or sell (put) the underlying asset.
2.2 Expiry Date
Options have a limited life. They expire weekly or monthly. For example:
Nifty & Bank Nifty: weekly + monthly expiry
Stocks: monthly expiry
After expiry, options lose all their time value.
2.3 Premium
This is the price you pay to buy an option.
Think of it like a fee for having the right.
Option buyers pay the premium; option sellers receive it.
2.4 Intrinsic Value
The real value of the option if it were exercised right now.
2.5 Time Value
The additional value based on time left until expiry.
More time = higher premium.
2.6 ITM, ATM & OTM
ITM – In the Money: has intrinsic value
ATM – At the Money: near underlying price
OTM – Out of the Money: no intrinsic value
Example for Nifty at 22,000:
Call 21,800 = ITM
Call 22,000 = ATM
Call 22,300 = OTM
Part 11 Trading Master Class With Experts What Are Options?
Options are derivative contracts, meaning their value is derived from an underlying asset such as:
Stocks
Index (Nifty, Bank Nifty)
Commodities (Gold, Crude)
Currency pairs
ETFs
An option gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the underlying asset at a fixed price within a specific period.
There are two main types of options:
1. Call Option
A Call Option gives you the right to buy the underlying asset at a fixed price.
2. Put Option
A Put Option gives you the right to sell the underlying asset at a fixed price.
That “fixed price” is called the strike price, and the last day on which you can exercise the option is called the expiry date.

Global Market Impact on the Indian MarketInterconnections, Influences, and Future Outlook
The Indian financial market does not operate in isolation. In today’s highly interconnected global economy, movements in international markets significantly influence India’s equity, debt, currency, and commodity markets. Global economic trends, monetary policies of major economies, geopolitical developments, capital flows, and technological shifts all play a crucial role in shaping the direction, volatility, and sentiment of Indian markets. Understanding how global markets impact the Indian market is essential for investors, policymakers, businesses, and traders to make informed decisions and manage risk effectively.
Global Economic Growth and Its Influence on India
Global economic growth directly affects India’s market performance. When major economies such as the United States, China, the European Union, and Japan experience strong growth, global trade expands, benefiting Indian exports in sectors like information technology, pharmaceuticals, engineering goods, textiles, and chemicals. Increased global demand leads to higher revenues and profitability for Indian companies, boosting stock market valuations.
Conversely, a slowdown or recession in global economies negatively impacts Indian markets. Reduced export demand, supply chain disruptions, and lower foreign investments can pressure corporate earnings and investor confidence. For example, global recessions often result in sharp corrections in Indian equity markets as foreign investors turn risk-averse and reduce exposure to emerging markets like India.
Impact of Global Monetary Policies
One of the most powerful global influences on the Indian market is the monetary policy of major central banks, especially the US Federal Reserve. Changes in interest rates in developed economies directly affect global liquidity. When the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, capital tends to flow back to the US in search of higher and safer returns. This often leads to foreign institutional investors (FIIs) withdrawing funds from Indian equities and bonds, causing market volatility, stock price corrections, and pressure on the Indian rupee.
On the other hand, accommodative global monetary policies, such as low interest rates and quantitative easing, increase liquidity in the global financial system. Excess liquidity often flows into emerging markets, including India, supporting equity rallies, bond inflows, and currency stability. Thus, global interest rate cycles have a profound impact on India’s financial markets.
Foreign Institutional Investment (FII) Flows
Foreign institutional investors play a crucial role in the Indian market, and their investment decisions are largely influenced by global market conditions. Risk-on environments—characterized by stable global growth, low inflation, and accommodative policies—encourage FIIs to invest in India due to its growth potential. This leads to rising stock prices, higher trading volumes, and improved market sentiment.
In contrast, during periods of global uncertainty such as financial crises, geopolitical conflicts, or sharp inflation spikes, FIIs often reduce exposure to emerging markets. Large FII outflows can lead to sharp declines in benchmark indices like the Sensex and Nifty, increased volatility, and sector-specific sell-offs, particularly in banking, IT, and large-cap stocks.
Currency Movements and Global Factors
The Indian rupee is highly sensitive to global developments. Strengthening of the US dollar, driven by higher US interest rates or global risk aversion, usually leads to depreciation of the rupee. A weaker rupee increases import costs, especially for crude oil, fertilizers, and electronic goods, which can worsen inflation and affect corporate margins.
However, a depreciating rupee can benefit export-oriented sectors such as IT services, pharmaceuticals, and textiles, as their revenues in foreign currencies translate into higher rupee earnings. Therefore, global currency trends have a mixed but significant impact on different segments of the Indian market.
Global Commodity Prices and Indian Markets
India is a major importer of commodities, particularly crude oil. Global commodity price movements strongly influence India’s inflation, fiscal balance, and corporate profitability. Rising crude oil prices increase input costs for industries, raise transportation expenses, and put pressure on government finances through higher subsidies. This often leads to negative sentiment in equity markets and concerns over inflation and interest rates.
Similarly, global prices of metals like steel, aluminum, copper, and precious metals affect Indian metal companies, infrastructure projects, and manufacturing sectors. A surge in global commodity prices can boost earnings for commodity producers but may hurt downstream industries and consumers.
Geopolitical Events and Global Risks
Geopolitical developments such as wars, trade conflicts, sanctions, and political instability can trigger global market volatility, which spills over into Indian markets. Events like conflicts in oil-producing regions, tensions between major economies, or disruptions in global trade routes increase uncertainty and risk aversion among investors.
During such periods, Indian markets often witness increased volatility, defensive sector rotation, and flight to safety toward gold and government bonds. Geopolitical risks also affect India’s trade relations, energy security, and foreign investment outlook.
Global Equity Market Trends and Correlation
Indian equity markets often show correlation with major global indices such as the S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones, and Asian markets. Sharp corrections or rallies in global markets can influence opening sentiment and intraday movements in Indian indices. While India has strong domestic growth drivers, global cues still play a critical role in short-term market direction.
However, over the long term, India’s market performance is increasingly driven by domestic factors such as consumption growth, infrastructure development, demographic advantages, and policy reforms. This gradual decoupling highlights India’s growing economic resilience, even as global influences remain relevant.
Technology, Global Capital, and Structural Shifts
Global technological advancements and capital flows are reshaping Indian markets. Increased participation of global investors through ETFs, index funds, and digital platforms has integrated India more deeply into global financial systems. Global trends such as digitization, renewable energy, artificial intelligence, and electric mobility influence sectoral investments in India.
India’s inclusion in global indices and its rising weight in emerging market portfolios also amplify the impact of global rebalancing decisions on Indian markets.
Conclusion: Balancing Global Influence and Domestic Strength
The global market’s impact on the Indian market is deep and multifaceted. Global economic growth, monetary policies, capital flows, currency movements, commodity prices, and geopolitical events collectively shape India’s market dynamics. While these global factors often drive short-term volatility and sentiment, India’s long-term market trajectory is increasingly supported by strong domestic fundamentals.
For investors and market participants, understanding global influences alongside India-specific factors is essential for effective risk management and strategic asset allocation. As India continues to integrate with the global economy while strengthening its domestic growth engines, the interplay between global markets and the Indian market will remain a defining feature of its financial landscape.

Market Swings in an Era of Inflation and Interest RatesUnderstanding Market Swings
Market swings refer to significant short- to medium-term fluctuations in asset prices across equities, bonds, commodities, currencies, and alternative investments. These swings can be triggered by economic data releases, central bank announcements, geopolitical events, or shifts in investor sentiment. While markets are inherently forward-looking, they are also highly sensitive to uncertainty. Inflation and interest rates introduce uncertainty because they affect both future cash flows and the discount rates used to value assets.
When markets anticipate stability in inflation and rates, price movements tend to be smoother. Conversely, when inflation accelerates unexpectedly or interest rates change rapidly, volatility rises, often leading to sharp corrections or rallies.
Inflation: The Silent Driver of Volatility
Inflation represents the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services rises, eroding purchasing power. Moderate inflation is often seen as a sign of healthy economic growth. However, high or unpredictable inflation can destabilize markets.
When inflation rises beyond expectations, input costs increase for companies, squeezing profit margins. Consumers face higher living costs, reducing discretionary spending. As earnings expectations weaken, equity markets may correct. At the same time, inflation reduces the real value of fixed income payments, causing bond prices to fall and yields to rise.
Inflation also reshapes sectoral performance. Commodities, energy, metals, and inflation-hedged assets such as gold often outperform during high-inflation periods. In contrast, growth-oriented sectors that depend heavily on future earnings—like technology—can face pressure because inflation diminishes the real value of those future cash flows.
Interest Rates: The Market’s Steering Wheel
Interest rates, primarily set or influenced by central banks, are the primary tool used to control inflation and manage economic growth. Changes in interest rates affect borrowing costs, savings behavior, investment decisions, and currency values.
When central banks raise interest rates to combat inflation, borrowing becomes more expensive. This slows consumer spending, corporate expansion, and speculative activity. Equity markets often react negatively in the short term because higher rates increase discount rates used in valuations, leading to lower present values of stocks.
On the other hand, falling interest rates usually stimulate markets. Lower rates encourage borrowing, boost liquidity, and push investors toward riskier assets in search of higher returns. This environment often leads to equity rallies, rising real estate prices, and stronger capital flows into emerging markets.
The Inflation–Interest Rate Feedback Loop
Inflation and interest rates are deeply interconnected. Rising inflation pressures central banks to increase interest rates, while aggressive rate hikes can slow the economy and eventually reduce inflation. Markets constantly attempt to price in where inflation will peak and how far interest rates will go.
This feedback loop is a major source of market swings. For example, if inflation data comes in hotter than expected, markets may anticipate more rate hikes, triggering sell-offs in equities and bonds simultaneously. Conversely, signs of easing inflation can spark powerful relief rallies as investors expect rate cuts or policy pauses.
Impact Across Asset Classes
Equities: Stocks are sensitive to both inflation and interest rates. Value stocks may perform better during inflationary periods, while growth stocks tend to benefit from low-rate environments. Sudden shifts in rate expectations often cause sharp rotations between sectors.
Bonds: Bonds are directly impacted by interest rates. Rising rates lead to falling bond prices, while falling rates support bond rallies. Inflation-linked bonds gain importance during high-inflation phases.
Commodities: Commodities often act as inflation hedges. Energy, metals, and agricultural products may experience strong uptrends during inflationary cycles.
Currencies: Interest rate differentials drive currency movements. Higher rates can strengthen a currency, impacting export competitiveness and capital flows.
Alternative Assets: Real estate, infrastructure, and precious metals often attract attention as inflation-protective assets, though higher rates can pressure leveraged segments like property.
Investor Psychology and Market Sentiment
Beyond fundamentals, market swings are amplified by investor psychology. Fear of inflation eroding wealth or anxiety over aggressive rate hikes can lead to panic selling. Conversely, optimism about inflation cooling or rates peaking can trigger rapid buying.
Media narratives, central bank communication, and global economic signals play a crucial role in shaping sentiment. Even small changes in wording from policymakers can cause outsized market reactions, highlighting how sensitive markets are to inflation and rate expectations.
Strategic Implications for Investors
Navigating market swings driven by inflation and interest rates requires discipline and adaptability. Diversification across asset classes helps manage volatility. Focusing on quality companies with strong balance sheets, pricing power, and stable cash flows can provide resilience during uncertain periods.
Long-term investors benefit from understanding economic cycles rather than reacting emotionally to short-term fluctuations. Tactical investors and traders, meanwhile, often look for opportunities created by volatility, using inflation data and interest rate signals as key inputs in decision-making.
Conclusion
Market swings are an inevitable feature of financial systems, but inflation and interest rates are among their most influential drivers. Inflation shapes purchasing power and profitability, while interest rates determine the cost of capital and investment attractiveness. Together, they create cycles of expansion, contraction, optimism, and fear.
In an era marked by rapid policy shifts, global interconnectedness, and evolving economic challenges, understanding how inflation and interest rates influence market behavior is no longer optional—it is essential. Those who grasp this dynamic are better equipped to manage risk, identify opportunities, and stay aligned with long-term financial goals despite the inevitable ups and downs of the market.
NIFTY- Intraday Levels - 12th Jan 2026* Major levels only consider buffer in levels*
If NIFTY sustain above 25716 above this bullish then around 25817 above this more bullish then 25874 then 25971/98 above this wait more levels marked on chart
If NIFTY sustain below 25700 then below this bearish then around 25531 to 25495 strong level anyday if it closes below this for 2 to 3 days trend of will turn to bearish , below this more bearish then around 25420 to 25391 last hope below this wait
My view :-
Market is at very important level for investors.. around 25500 (+/- buffer) with respect to day closing for consecutive 2-3 days will indicate more bearishness. Will market make a bottom here will come to known in next 2-3 days.
This analysis is highly speculative and is not guaranteed to be accurate; therefore, the implementation of stringent risk controls is non-negotiable for mitigating trade risk."
Always Consider some buffer points in above levels.

#Nifty Directions and Levels for Jan 12thGood morning, friends! 🌞
Market Directions and Levels for Jan 12th
Global remains positive, though Indian markets show a bearish bias. Today, the market may open neutral to slightly gap down, as GIFT Nifty trades about 20 points lower.
Current View
> If the market declines initially, the immediate support zone is expected to act as a strong support.
> If price gets rejected from this zone, structurally this could be a 5th sub-wave. In that case, the 5th sub-wave correction may complete here, followed by a bounce of around 38%–61% of the minor swing.
> This is the base structure. However, if price does not reject around the pullback zone, the 5th sub-wave could extend toward 25,550–25,580 for Nifty.
Alternate View
> The alternate scenario suggests a range-bound market with a bearish bias.
> If the market opens positive, we can expect a bounce of around 23%–38%. However, even if a bounce occurs, the broader outlook remains bearish, and the market may return to its opening level by the end of the day.

If fridays low breached 25623, next reversal zone 25536-25508 levels which is strong reversal zone
Watchout for reversal and be ready for good upside , FII already in short positions of around 91% can’t go much short hence forth
Any dip is buying opportunity
PIIND Investment Idea: Harmonic Bullish Gartley Pattern💯 Bullish Gartley Pattern in Technical Analysis
✍🏼The Bullish Gartley pattern is a harmonic trading formation rooted in Fibonacci ratios, designed to identify potential reversal points in a downtrend, signaling the start of a bullish move. Discovered by H.M. Gartley in 1935, it's part of a family of harmonic patterns (including Bat, Butterfly, and Crab) and visually resembles an 'M' shape on the chart. This pattern is popular in forex, equities, and indices like Nifty 50, where it helps traders spot high-probability entries during corrective phases. It assumes markets move in geometric proportions, blending geometry with Fibonacci sequences for precision.
________________^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^_________________
Key Components of the Pattern
The Bullish Gartley consists of five swing points labeled X, A, B, C, and D, forming through specific Fibonacci retracements and extensions:
• XA Leg: The initial impulsive move downward from point X (high) to A (low), setting the pattern's foundation.
• AB Leg: A retracement upward from A to B, typically 61.8% o f XA.
• BC Leg: A pullback downward from B to C, ranging from 38.2% to 88.6% of AB.
• CD Leg: The final extension upward from C to D, often 127.2% to 161.8% of BC, with D landing at approximately 78.6% retracement of XA.
• Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ): Convergence at D, where multiple Fib levels align for a buy signal.
👉🏼 The pattern completes when price reaches D and shows reversal signs, such as bullish candlesticks or volume increase. Here's an example chart illustrating the structure:
________________^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^_________________
✍🏼Pattern Analysis
• Reliability: Studies show success rates of 60-80% when strict Fib ratios are met and confirmed by volume or oscillators like RSI (showing oversold at D) or MACD divergence. It's more effective in trending markets with low noise; false signals occur in choppy conditions or if ratios deviate (e.g., beyond 1-2% tolerance).
• Timeframe: Best on H4, daily, or weekly charts for positional trades; intraday (e.g., 15-min) versions are riskier due to whipsaws.
• Variations:
o Ideal ratios are precise, but real markets allow slight flexibility.
o Bullish vs. Bearish: The bearish Gartley is inverted ('W' shape) for topping patterns.
• Confirmation: Requires a breakout above the B-C high or a close above the 38.2% retracement of CD; without it, the pattern may fail and extend into other harmonics like Bat (88.6% XD).
________________^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^_________________
🎯Implications for Trading
• Bullish Setup: Enter long positions at D with a stop-loss below X (or 1-2% below D). Targets include 38.2% and 61.8% retracements of AD, or back to point A.
• Risk-Reward: Often 1:2 or better; e.g., if XA is 100 points, risk 10-20 points for 50-100 point gains.
• In Indian Markets: For Nifty 50 (currently around 25,700 in Jan 2026), scan for Bullish Gartley near supports like 25,500 after corrections from FII selling. Combine with options (e.g., buy calls at D) for leverage.
• Risks: Over-reliance on Fibs without volume confirmation; always use in conjunction with trend analysis or fundamentals like earnings catalysts.
This pattern emphasizes discipline in waiting for completion, making it a staple for harmonic traders seeking edge in volatile environments.
