Part 2 Support and ResistanceHow Options Work
Options allow traders to speculate or hedge in different market conditions. For example:
Buying a Call Option: If an investor expects a stock’s price to rise, they can buy a call option. If the stock price exceeds the strike price, the option holder can either sell the option at a profit or exercise it to buy the stock at a lower price.
Buying a Put Option: If an investor anticipates a decline in the stock price, they can buy a put option. If the stock price falls below the strike price, the option holder can sell the stock at a higher-than-market price or sell the option for a profit.
Options can also be sold/written, allowing traders to earn the premium as income. However, selling options carries significant risk because the seller may have unlimited loss potential if the market moves against them.
Options Pricing and Valuation
The value of an option is influenced by intrinsic value and time value:
Intrinsic Value: The difference between the underlying asset’s current price and the strike price. For example:
Call Option: Intrinsic Value = Max(0, Current Price – Strike Price)
Put Option: Intrinsic Value = Max(0, Strike Price – Current Price)
Time Value: The portion of the premium that accounts for the time remaining until expiry and the expected volatility of the underlying asset. Options with more time until expiration generally have higher premiums because there’s a greater chance for the underlying asset to move favorably.
Additionally, models such as the Black-Scholes model are used by traders and institutions to estimate theoretical option prices, considering factors like the underlying price, strike price, time to expiration, volatility, and interest rates.
Benefits of Options Trading
Options trading offers several advantages compared to traditional stock trading:
Leverage: Options allow investors to control a large number of shares with a relatively small investment. This amplifies potential gains (and losses).
Flexibility: Traders can use options to speculate, hedge, or generate income, offering multiple strategic possibilities.
Risk Management: Options can act as insurance for existing positions. For instance, buying a put option can protect a stock holding from a sharp decline.
Profit in Any Market Condition: Options strategies can be designed to profit in bullish, bearish, or even neutral markets.
Part 1 Support and ResistanceIntroduction to Options Trading
Options trading is a sophisticated segment of the financial markets that allows investors to speculate on the future price movement of an underlying asset without actually owning it. Unlike traditional stocks, where you buy and sell shares directly, options are derivative instruments — their value is derived from an underlying security, such as a stock, index, commodity, or currency. Options can provide unique advantages, including leverage, flexibility, and hedging opportunities, making them popular among traders and investors looking for strategic ways to manage risk and potentially enhance returns.
Basic Concepts of Options
At its core, an option is a contract that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price on or before a specific date. The two main types of options are:
Call Option: Grants the holder the right to buy an asset at a specific price, known as the strike price, within a defined period.
Put Option: Grants the holder the right to sell an asset at the strike price within a defined period.
The price paid to purchase an option is called the premium, and it represents the cost of acquiring the rights that the option provides. Sellers (or writers) of options receive this premium and are obligated to fulfill the contract if the buyer exercises the option.
Key Components of Options
Understanding options requires familiarity with their core components:
Underlying Asset: The financial instrument (stock, index, commodity, or currency) on which the option is based.
Strike Price (Exercise Price): The predetermined price at which the option can be exercised.
Expiry Date: The date on which the option contract expires. After this date, the option becomes worthless if not exercised.
Premium: The cost of purchasing the option. It is influenced by factors such as the underlying asset’s price, volatility, time to expiry, and interest rates.
Option Style: There are two primary styles:
American Option: Can be exercised any time before expiry.
European Option: Can only be exercised on the expiry date.

XAUUSD – Correction Target on H4Technical Analysis
After reacting at the Sell Zone – FVG around 3,670, Gold could not sustain the upward momentum and is now showing signs of weakness. The H4 structure indicates that the correction phase is extending, with price likely to retest key support areas below.
On the chart, the support zones at 3,633–3,632 and 3,626 are acting as intermediate levels. If these zones fail to hold, selling pressure may push price deeper towards 3,614–3,612, before testing the major support confluence with Fibonacci extension and the potential Buy Zone at 3,579–3,560.
The RSI is currently hovering around 45–50, suggesting momentum is tilted towards a corrective move rather than a strong uptrend.
Trading Scenarios
SELL Setup (preferred):
Entry: on a retest of the 3,665–3,670 Sell Zone
SL: above 3,675
Targets: 3,633–3,632-3,626-3,614–3,612-3,579–3,560
BUY Setup (short-term / scalping):
Entry: consider buys around 3,626–3,625 support
SL: below 3,618
Targets:3,633-3,645-3,650
Key Levels to Watch
3,670: Sell Zone – confluence with FVG post-FOMC.
3,633–3,626: Short-term support; a break below confirms extended bearish pressure.
3,612: Key level for deciding near-term direction.
3,579–3,560: Potential Buy Zone and main corrective target on H4.
Traders may keep these levels on watch and align positions accordingly. Follow for quicker access to future updates.
NTPC seems Bearish !!NTPC technically is getting ready to take support at 310 range ....if 310 too gets broken, major support at 299.
Rounding top fits perfectly and as a result we can expect the down move in the next few days.
Let's wait and watch ...how it moves!!!!
Just my view...not a tip nor advice!!1
Thank you!!

BAJFINANCE 1D Time frame1. Pivot Level
₹992 → key short-term pivot.
Above ₹992 → bullish bias.
Below ₹992 → bearish bias.
2. Bullish Setup (if price holds above ₹992)
Entry: Around ₹995–₹998 (after confirming bounce above pivot).
Target:
First target → ₹1,010–₹1,012
Second target → ₹1,020–₹1,025 (if momentum continues)
Stop Loss: ₹990 (just below pivot)
Risk/Reward: Good, roughly 2–3x potential vs stop.
3. Bearish Setup (if price falls below ₹992)
Entry: Around ₹990–₹988 (if close below pivot confirmed).
Target:
First target → ₹980
Second target → ₹965–₹960
Stop Loss: ₹995 (just above pivot)
Risk/Reward: Decent for short-term pullback trade.
4. Notes / Idea Logic
Why it works: ₹992 is acting as a short-term pivot — price respecting this shows strength; breaking it signals weakness.
Volume confirmation: If buying comes with strong volume → bullish; if selling is strong → bearish.
Time frame: This is mainly for 1–3 day trades on the daily chart.
TATAMOTORS 1D Time frameTata Motors is trading around ₹710-₹720 (give or take).
The 52-week high is roughly ₹1,000+, and the 52-week low is approx ₹535-₹550.
There is visible investor concern: production halts (especially in JLR, its luxury arm) and demand pressures are weighing.
Recent performance is mixed; some short-term strength, but many indicators suggest resistance and caution.
⚙️ Technical / Trend Insights
The trend shows a mildly bullish bias in the short-term: price action is forming higher lows (e.g. holding above ₹700-705) which suggests buyers are defending downside.
Resistance zones are limiting gains: repeated attempts to push above ~₹720-725 have met selling.
Momentum indicators (RSI, MACD etc.) are positive but not deeply overbought — there’s room, but risk of pullbacks if resistance holds.
There are hints of bullish chart patterns (for example, ascending structures or potential reversal formations) if price manages to cross certain resistance levels.
⚠️ Risks / Things That Could Go Wrong
If it breaks down below ₹700-705, risk increases toward lower support in the ₹686-₹700 band.
Failure to break above ₹720-₹725 with decent volume could lead to sideways trading or minor corrections.
Macro / sectoral headwinds — demand issues, international business (JLR), cost pressures — could press down on fundamentals.
INFY 1D Time frameCurrent Facts
INFY is trading around ₹1,525-₹1,530.
Recent high / resistance being tested around ₹1,540-₹1,550.
The stock has a 52-week low around ₹1,307 and a high near ₹2,006.
Technical momentum is neutral to mildly bullish. Indicators like MACD are positive but RSI is not yet overbought.
🔍 Key Support & Resistance Levels
Immediate Support: ~ ₹1,500-₹1,510 — this is the level to watch closely. If INFY remains above this, it helps maintain bullish bias.
Secondary Support: ~ ₹1,470-₹1,490, in case the nearer support fails.
Immediate Resistance: ~ ₹1,540-₹1,550 — price is facing supply pressure here.
Stronger Resistance: ~ ₹1,560-₹1,570 if INFY manages to break above the nearer resistance.
⚙️ Interpretation & Outlook
As long as INFY stays above the ~₹1,500 support, bulls have a chance to push toward resistance.
Selling pressure is visible near the resistance zone; repeated failures at that zone could lead to consolidation or a pullback.
If INFY breaks above ₹1,550 with strong volume, the upside may extend toward ~₹1,560-₹1,570 and beyond.
⚠️ Risk Points
Breakdown below ₹1,500 may drag INFY toward the ~₹1,470-₹1,490 support.
If that too fails, deeper weakness may set in, possibly toward lower zones depending on market sentiment.
SBIN 1D Time frameCurrent Facts
Price is trading around ₹854–₹861.
In the past 52 weeks, it has moved between ₹680 (low) and about ₹875–₹880 (high).
Recently, the stock has shown a positive trend, moving up slowly but facing resistance near the higher levels.
🔍 Support & Resistance Zones
Immediate Support: ₹840–₹846 (if it stays above this, trend remains safe).
Stronger Support: ₹820–₹830 (this is the fallback level if the first support breaks).
Immediate Resistance: ₹860–₹869 (the stock is struggling to cross this zone).
Higher Resistance: ₹880–₹900 (if it breaks out strongly, these are the next targets).
⚙️ Technical View
Trend is positive to neutral — buyers are active but sellers are pushing back at resistance.
Momentum is moderate — not too weak, not too overheated.
A decisive breakout above ₹869 with volume can give a rally toward ₹880–₹900.
⚠️ Risks
If the price falls below ₹840, there is a chance of decline toward ₹820–₹830.
Weak breakout attempts without strong buying may cause sideways movement.
🔮 Possible Scenarios
Bullish: Strong move above ₹869 → targets ₹880–₹900.
Range: Stock stays between ₹840–₹860.
Bearish: Break below ₹840 → fall toward ₹820–₹830.
