The Scribbles: Major Sideways Consolidation for One and a Half Months
Since 12 June, 2026, the index has been on a major choppy journey. The range-bound volatility has been psychologically painful for both investors and traders. The index is still range-bound. Only a breakout or breakdown would decide the next move of the index.
⏺ Zone of Indecision (ZOI): (73000 - 71500)
The index has been range-bound in the zone of (73000 - 71500). Here, the level 72250 is the median of the ZOI. The median works like a session sentiment evaluator. The price trading above the median would offer bullish sentiment, while the price trading below the median would trigger bearish sentiment within the ZOI.
🟢 Bullish Scenario:
The investors need to wait for a sustainable breakout above 73000. Though the price is trading above the median (72250), there is always a chance of reversal. Only a proper breakout and sustainability above 73000 would ensure future bullishness.
🔴 Bearish Scenario:
Mark the level of 71500. If the price decisively breaks down below 71500, then there will be a sharp sell-off.
● Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly Bias
Establish bias with respect to the opening price (of the particular session - Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly). If the price sustains above the opening price, then don't think of shorting. Look for bullish trades only. On the contrary, if the price sustains below the opening price, then don't think of going long. Look for bearish trades in that case.
● Disclaimer + End Note
- All the analyses would fail in the case of a major gap up, gap down, or price structure anomaly. Thus, practice PRAGMATISM in the live session.
- Trade only if there is a set-up. Remember, not trading is an extension of the trading activity.
- Mark your points. Trade your points. Price is GOD. Anything can happen in the markets. Thus, trade what you see, not what you believe.
- Always PRACTICE RISK MANAGEMENT. Always PROTECT YOUR CAPITAL. Be RESPONSIBLE.
- Be Strategic. Be Courageous. Be Patient. Be Wise.
- Every day is a new day. Thus, do not carry the baggage of past successes or failures. Leave the gardens of winning and losing. Establish yourself in equanimity. Always think from a new perspective.
- Let the joy of trading drive your effectiveness, not greed or fear. Believe in Possibilities.
Happy Trading!
