Wave Analysis

Elliott Wave Analysis XAUUSD – 04/12/20251. Momentum • D1: The D1 momentum is currently moving downward. We will need about 1–2 more daily candles for D1 momentum to enter the oversold zone, which would create conditions for a potential bullish reversal. • H4: H4 momentum is in the oversold zone. Therefore, today we may see another upward move or a period of sideways consolidation if H4 starts to turn upward. • H1: H1 momentum is decreasing, so a downward move on the H1 timeframe is likely before any reversal upward. ________________________________________ 2. Wave Structure • D1: The D1 chart currently shows 4 consecutive bearish candles. Only 1–2 more candles are needed for D1 momentum to reach the oversold zone and prepare for a reversal. The small candle bodies and lack of strong bearish momentum indicate that wave C may still have one more push to the upside. Potential target zones: 4329 and 4396. • H4: As D1 momentum approaches the oversold zone, today may complete wave 4 (green) within the 5-wave green structure. After that, price is expected to continue upward to complete wave 5 (green). • H1: Yesterday, we expected price to reach 4245, but it only touched 4242 before dropping. With the current structure, I expect a black ABC pattern. The current decline is likely heading toward 4168 or 4144 to complete wave 4 (green). • Important Note: H4 momentum is in the oversold zone and can reverse at any moment. Therefore, 4184 is also a strong support area. If H4 momentum turns upward and price moves sideways within 4184 – 4245, we may see the formation of a triangle correction for wave 4. I will update if this scenario develops. ________________________________________ 3. Trading Plan We focus on the zone where wave (C) equals wave (A) in length — which is around 4144, the preferred level for the completion of wave (C) and a Buy setup. Buy Zone: 4146 – 4144 SL: 4125 TP1: 4168 TP2: 4246

SENSEX : Trading levels and Plan for 04-Dec-2025📊 SENSEX TRADING PLAN — 04 DEC 2025 Price closed near 85,118, sitting just below key zones: • Opening Resistance/Support: 85,157 • Opening Support: 84,859 • Opening Resistance Zone: 85,320–85,433 • Last Intraday Resistance: 85,818 • Last Intraday Support: 84,335 The market recently bounced from lows but still sits within a corrective structure. Tomorrow’s opening direction will decide whether SENSEX attempts to retest upper resistance zones or slides back toward the 84,335 support region. 🚀 1. GAP-UP OPENING (300+ points) A gap-up above 85,433 or directly inside the Opening Resistance Zone (85,320–85,433) demands patience and confirmation-based trading. 1. If price opens inside 85,320–85,433 • Avoid chasing longs immediately. • This zone historically attracts sellers. • Wait to see if price rejects with wicks or bearish CHoCH. • Short entries become valid only if price falls back below 85,157. • Downsides: 84,859 → 84,600. 2. If price opens above 85,433 • Look for a retest of 85,320–85,433 before entering long. • If retest holds → Upside targets toward 85,600 → 85,818. • This is the highest-probability long of the day. 3. Breakout above 85,818 (Last Intraday Resistance) • Needs a strong bullish candle close. • If sustained → Momentum expansion toward 86,000+ possible. • Book partial profits near earlier swing highs to reduce risk. 📌 Educational Note: A gap-up often creates FOMO. But professional traders wait for retests because they reduce risk and confirm buyer strength. ⚖ 2. FLAT OPENING (±80 pts around 85,118) A flat open allows structure-based trading on both sides, offering cleaner setups. 1. If price sustains above 85,157 • Buyers show early strength. • Upside targets: 85,320 → 85,433 → 85,600. • Watch for a breakout continuation setup. 2. Rejection from 85,157 • With bearish candle patterns → Short opportunity. • Initial targets: 84,859 → 84,600. 3. If price trades between 84,859–85,157 • Expect range-bound behavior. • Trade only extremes with confirmation: – Buy near 84,859, – Sell near 85,157. 📌 Educational Note: Flat openings reveal direction through early structure shifts. The key is waiting for higher-lows (bullish) or lower-highs (bearish). 📉 3. GAP-DOWN OPENING (300+ points) Gap-down openings near or inside the Last Intraday Support (84,335) require patience and caution. 1. If price opens inside 84,335 Support Zone • Do NOT short blindly—this is a reaction zone. • Look for reversal signs: hammer, bullish engulfing, CHoCH. • If reversal confirmed → Long toward 84,859 → 85,157. 2. If price breaks below 84,335 on opening • Avoid chasing breakdowns. • Wait for a retest of 84,335. • If rejection appears → Short entry toward 84,150 → 84,000. 3. Strong recovery after Gap-Down (V-Shape) • If price quickly reclaims 84,335, buyers are active. • Above 84,859 → Trend shifts bullish intraday. • Upside targets: 85,157 → 85,320. 📌 Educational Note: Gap-downs often act as liquidity sweeps—smart money absorbs selling pressure before pushing price upward. 🛡 RISK MANAGEMENT TIPS FOR OPTIONS TRADERS 1. Avoid first 5–10 minutes of trading after big gap openings. Market needs time to stabilize. 2. Never buy OTM options after a big gap. Premium decay will eat your trade. 3. Use price action–based stops instead of premium-based SL. 4. Position sizing rule: Risk ONLY 1–2% of your capital per trade. 5. High IV → Prefer option selling. Low IV → Option buying becomes efficient. 6. Book profits near key levels (e.g., 84,859, 85,157, 85,320, 85,433). 7. Avoid revenge trading or entering against strong trends without confirmation. 📌 SUMMARY & CONCLUSION • Bullish bias above 85,320–85,433, with potential toward 85,818. • Range-bound behaviour likely between 84,859–85,157. • High-probability reversals expected from 84,335 on gap-down. • Wait for retests and confirmations before entering trades. • Follow structure strictly—levels decide the direction. ⚠ DISCLAIMER I am not a SEBI-registered analyst.

XAUUSD – Clean Rejection from LTF Demand With Potential Upside EGold tapped into a refined LTF demand pocket and instantly showed rejection, indicating buyers are stepping in exactly where they should. This aligns well with the ongoing HTF bullish bias and maintains the broader structure intact. The strong wick + immediate reclaim of the micro-range suggests absorption and willingness to push higher if structure follows through. Bullish Path: • Tap into LTF demand • Rejection + recovery inside the zone • Micro structure shift • Expansion toward the next HTF imbalance

Bajaj Auto: A Chain of Zigzags Still Pointing LowerThe push to ₹9,490 looked like strength, but the internal map is clear — this entire structure is a zigzag , not an impulsive trend. The rally into ₹9,490 is a classic Wave X zigzag , confirmed by RSI giving a sharp overbought spike and then immediately fading. That’s exhaustion, not Wave 3 behaviour. Inside the larger Double Zigzag (W–X–Y), price has now completed Wave (B) of (W) in Wave Y. Wave (W) of Y is still forming. After (W) completes, a small (X) bounce remains possible before the final (Y) leg lower. Key Levels: Target 1: ₹8,256 Target 2: ₹7,089 Invalidation: ₹9,490 As long as price stays below ₹9,490, the multi-zigzag structure remains the dominant path.

$Bitcoin Cash The Sleeping Giant Just Woke Up $1000 is targetBitcoin Cash (BCH) has finally broken out of its multi-month consolidation, blasting above the key $600 resistance with increasing volume and clean market structure. This is exactly the type of breakout that marks the beginning of a new macro trend rather than a short-term spike. Momentum is shifting hard: Volume expanding Market structure flipped bullish RSI reclaiming the macro uptrend zone Post-halving lag effect kicking in Liquidity rotating into high-beta legacy altcoins This combination is rare — and historically leads to fast, vertical rallies. --- 🎯 Bullish Targets $720 — First supply zone $880 — Major breaker block $1000–$1050 — The psychological level acting like a price magnet Once BCH clears $720, the run toward $1000 usually accelerates quickly as liquidity gaps open up. --- 🧭 Market Reasoning Legacy altcoins tend to move late in the cycle, but when they move, they move aggressively. BCH currently shows: Clear higher-high / higher-low structure Strong trend continuation signals A clean liquidity gap directly toward $880–$1000 This is the setup that fuels multi-week rallies. --- 💬 My View As long as BCH holds above $580–$600, the bullish structure remains intact. Momentum, sentiment, and technical structure all align toward one direction: $1000 is not just a target — it’s the next logical zone.

BANKNIFTY : Trading levels and Plan for 04-Dec-2025📊 BANKNIFTY TRADING PLAN — 04 DEC 2025 Price closed around 59,333, sitting just below the Opening Support/Resistance Zone (59,378–59,517). Market sentiment is still recovering from the recent selloff, but upside resistance remains heavy near 59,745–59,857. Tomorrow’s opening will heavily determine whether BankNifty expands upward toward the resistance box or rotates back to the Last Intraday Support (58,792–58,862). 🚀 1. GAP-UP OPENING (200+ points) Opening likely near/above 59,517 or even inside the resistance zone. 1. If Gap-Up opens above 59,517 → Wait for a Retest • Avoid chasing the early spike. • Look for price to retest 59,378–59,517 zone. • If the retest holds with bullish structure (higher-low, bullish engulfing, CHoCH) → Long entry toward 59,745 → 59,857. • This is the safest long trade of the day. 2. If Gap-Up opens directly inside the Resistance Zone (59,745–59,857) • Expect heavy profit booking and intraday selling. • Avoid long trades in this zone. • Look for rejection candles, wicks, or bearish CHoCH. • A short trade is valid only if price falls back below 59,517, confirming rejection. 3. Breakout Above 59,857 • Only trade if a strong candle closes above this level. • This signals bullish continuation with targets 60,000+ (psychological level). • Partial booking is advised in such breakouts. 📌 Educational Note: Gap-ups often trap retail buyers. Market makers usually push price back to retest liquidity zones. Retest entries reduce risk and increase probability. ⚖ 2. FLAT OPENING (Near 59,300 ± 60 points) This is the cleanest scenario for technical traders. 1. If price breaks above 59,378 and sustains • Buyers show early strength. • Long opportunity toward 59,517 → 59,745. • This is a standard momentum continuation setup. 2. If price rejects 59,517 • Look for bearish candles or deviation. • First downside target: 59,203 (Opening Support). • Below 59,203 → Price may trend toward 58,862. 3. If price remains stuck between 59,203–59,517 • Expect a range-bound day. • Trade only zone extremes: – Buy near 59,203 (only with confirmation) – Sell near 59,517 (only with confirmation) 📌 Educational Note: Flat openings produce normal volatility and allow the market to reveal directional intentions more naturally. 📉 3. GAP-DOWN OPENING (200+ points) Price likely opens near 59,100 or inside the Last Intraday Support (58,792–58,862). 1. If Gap-Down opens inside 58,792–58,862 (Support Block) • Never short this zone blindly. • This area previously held strong buyer interest. • Look for reversal signs (hammer, bullish engulfing, CHoCH). • If reversal seen → Long toward 59,203 → 59,378. 2. If Support Breaks Below 58,792 • Do NOT chase. • Wait for price to retest the broken zone → If rejection appears → Short entry. • Downside targets: 58,700 → 58,600. 3. Sharp Reversal From Gap-Down (V-Shape) • If price recovers instantly above 58,862, buyers are absorbing aggressively. • Above 59,203 → Further upside toward 59,378–59,517. 📌 Educational Note: Gap-downs sweep liquidity; many times they reverse sharply as smart money collects orders. Always wait for confirmation. 🛡 RISK MANAGEMENT TIPS FOR OPTIONS TRADERS 1. Avoid trading the first 5 minutes on a big gap day. Volatility crush and fake moves are common. 2. Never buy OTM options after a big gap. Premiums deflate sharply once IV settles. 3. Always use price-based stop losses, not premium-based SL. 4. Position size rule: Risk max 1–2% per trade. 5. If IV is high → Prefer selling strategies (Credit spreads, Straddles protection). If IV is low → Option buying becomes more efficient. 6. Take partial profits at logical zones (like 59,378, 59,517, 59,745). 7. Avoid revenge trading or counter-trend trades without structure confirmation. 📌 SUMMARY & CONCLUSION • Bullish bias above 59,517, with targets toward 59,745–59,857. • Range expected if price stays between 59,203–59,517. • High-probability reversals expected from 58,792–58,862 on gap-down. • Focus on retests, confirmations, and clean structure before entering. • Avoid emotional or chase-based trades—stick to the levels only. ⚠ DISCLAIMER I am not a SEBI-registered analyst.

NIFTY : Trading levels and Plan for 04-Dec-2025📊 NIFTY TRADING PLAN — 04 DEC 2025 Current market context: Price is hovering near 25,981, sitting just below key intraday levels. The index showed a late recovery on 3rd Dec, but still remains inside a broader corrective structure. Tomorrow’s opening reaction near the Opening Support (25,953) and Opening Resistance (26,020) will set the tone for the session. Below is the complete trading plan based only on the marked levels in your chart. 🚀 1. GAP-UP OPENING (100+ points) A strong gap-up above 26,020 indicates early bullish strength and short-covering. However, note that price will immediately approach the Last Intraday Resistance Zone: 26,094–26,119, which has been a major rejection zone earlier. 1. Opening above 26,020 → Look for Retest Entry • Avoid chasing a gap-up candle. • Wait for price to retest 26,020, show wicks / bullish engulfing / CHoCH reversal. • If retest holds → Upside targets toward 26,160 → 26,224. • This is safest because it confirms buyer presence. 2. If gap-up directly opens inside 26,094–26,119 (resistance box) • Avoid long entries. • Expect sellers to react. • Look for rejection wicks & bearish structure shift. • Short trades are only valid if price breaks below 26,020 after rejection. 3. Bullish Continuation Above 26,119 • If the resistance box breaks with strong momentum → Trend continuation. • Next immediate upside: 26,160 → 26,224 (chart-projected path). 📌 Educational Note: Gap-up openings often trap late buyers. A retest is safe because it confirms that the gap is being accepted by the market. ⚖ 2. FLAT OPENING (±50 points around 25,980) Flat opens near Opening Support (25,953) or Opening Resistance (26,020) offer the best price-action trades. 1. If price holds 25,953 and forms higher-lows • Buyers defending strongly. • Look for bullish structure → Target 26,020 → 26,094. • Sustained breakout above 26,020 gives a clean intraday long. 2. If price rejects 26,020 • Watch for bearish engulfing / rejection wicks. • First downside target: 25,953 • Break below this → Trend may shift bearish for the day. 3. Range Day Setup If price stays between 25,953–26,020, trade only extremes: • Buy near 25,953 (only on confirmation). • Sell near 26,020 (only on confirmation). 📌 Educational Note: Flat opens are the most reliable for retail traders because structure is clearer and volatility is normal. 📉 3. GAP-DOWN OPENING (100+ points) A gap-down into the Last Intraday Buyer Support (25,732–25,798) signals fear, stop-run liquidity, and possible reversal zones. 1. If price opens inside 25,732–25,798 • DO NOT short the open. • This zone is where buyers previously defended. • Look for reversal: hammer candle, divergence, or CHoCH. • If reversal signs appear → Long trade targeting 25,953 → 26,020. 2. If price breaks below 25,732 • This is bearish continuation. • Only short on retest of the broken zone. • Downside targets: 25,680 → 25,640 (chart-projected bearish path). 3. If price recovers quickly from the gap-down • V-shape reversals are common in strong markets. • Once above 25,798, bullish continuation toward 25,953 → 26,020. 📌 Educational Note: Gap-downs often sweep liquidity and reverse sharply. Confirmation is crucial before entering any trade. 🛡 RISK MANAGEMENT TIPS FOR OPTIONS TRADERS 1. Avoid buying options in the first 5–10 minutes after a gap opening. Volatility crush can hurt premiums. 2. Always define your stop-loss based on price levels, not premium. Price levels are more stable. 3. Avoid trading against major zones (resistance/support). 4. Use position sizing: Never risk more than 1–2% of your trading capital on a single trade. 5. If IV is high → Prefer selling strategies. If IV is low → Buying options becomes more efficient. 6. Don’t revenge trade. If levels break unexpectedly, step aside and re-plan. 📌 SUMMARY & CONCLUSION • Bullish bias only above 26,020 → 26,094 • Range-bound between 25,953–26,020 • Strong reversal zone at 25,732–25,798 on gap-down • Gap openings must always be traded with retests, not predictions • Focus on market structure and reactions at these marked levels Trade with discipline, follow levels, and avoid over-positioning during high volatility. ⚠ DISCLAIMER I am not a SEBI-registered analyst.

Best Trading Strategies Used by Traders in Financial Markets1. Trend Following Strategy The trend following strategy is based on the principle that prices tend to move in sustained trends rather than randomly. Traders using this approach attempt to enter trades in the direction of the prevailing trend and ride the movement until signs of reversal appear. Key tools: Moving averages (SMA, EMA), trendlines, MACD, ADX. How it works: Traders identify a strong uptrend or downtrend. For example, in an uptrend, they look for price pullbacks to enter long positions. Conversely, in a downtrend, they short sell during price rallies. Advantages: Works well in trending markets and allows traders to capture significant portions of price moves. Challenges: Can produce false signals in sideways or choppy markets. Patience is required to let trends develop. 2. Swing Trading Swing trading focuses on capturing medium-term price movements, typically lasting from a few days to several weeks. Swing traders aim to profit from price “swings” within a broader trend, combining technical analysis with market sentiment insights. Key tools: Candlestick patterns, support and resistance levels, RSI, Fibonacci retracement. How it works: Traders identify potential reversals at key support or resistance zones and enter trades aligned with the expected swing. For example, after a stock bounces from a support level, a swing trader may go long anticipating a short-term upward movement. Advantages: Less time-intensive than intraday trading; allows participation in significant market moves. Challenges: Overnight risk and exposure to market gaps can affect positions; requires solid risk management. 3. Intraday or Day Trading Day trading involves buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day. The goal is to profit from short-term price fluctuations while avoiding overnight market risk. Key tools: Real-time charts, volume analysis, VWAP, Bollinger Bands, Level II quotes. How it works: Traders identify high-probability trades based on intraday trends, price patterns, or news. Trades are opened and closed within hours or minutes. Advantages: Immediate results and no overnight risk. Allows traders to capitalize on volatility. Challenges: Requires constant monitoring, discipline, and quick decision-making. Transaction costs and emotional stress can be high. 4. Scalping Strategy Scalping is an ultra-short-term trading strategy aimed at taking advantage of small price movements multiple times during the day. Scalpers execute dozens or even hundreds of trades in a single session. Key tools: Tick charts, Level II data, order flow analysis. How it works: Traders enter positions for just a few seconds or minutes to capture minor price changes. High leverage is often used to amplify small gains. Advantages: Small, frequent profits can accumulate quickly; less exposure to market risk due to short holding periods. Challenges: Demands extreme focus, rapid execution, and low-latency platforms. High transaction costs can reduce profitability. 5. Breakout Strategy Breakout trading seeks to capitalize on price movements when an asset breaks through a key support, resistance, or consolidation range. Breakouts often indicate strong momentum and potential trend continuation. Key tools: Horizontal support/resistance levels, Bollinger Bands, volume indicators. How it works: Traders monitor consolidation zones and place trades when the price breaks above resistance (long) or below support (short). Volume confirmation is crucial to avoid false breakouts. Advantages: Can generate large profits if momentum continues; simple to implement with clear entry and exit rules. Challenges: False breakouts can lead to losses; requires careful position sizing and stop-loss placement. 6. Momentum Trading Momentum traders exploit stocks or assets showing strong directional movement. This strategy assumes that assets with recent strong performance will continue moving in the same direction in the short term. Key tools: RSI, MACD, moving averages, relative volume. How it works: Traders identify securities with increasing volume and price momentum, entering trades in the direction of the trend. Exit decisions are based on signs of weakening momentum or overbought/oversold conditions. Advantages: Profits from strong trends and market sentiment; suitable for volatile markets. Challenges: Momentum can reverse suddenly; risk management is crucial to protect profits. 7. Mean Reversion Strategy Mean reversion is based on the idea that prices tend to revert to their historical average over time. Traders using this approach buy undervalued assets and sell overvalued ones relative to their average price. Key tools: Bollinger Bands, moving averages, RSI. How it works: When the price deviates significantly from its average, traders enter positions expecting a reversal. For example, if a stock price falls far below its 50-day moving average, it may rebound, presenting a buy opportunity. Advantages: Effective in range-bound or sideways markets; helps exploit temporary mispricings. Challenges: Market trends can override mean-reversion signals, causing losses. 8. Position Trading Position trading is a long-term strategy where traders hold positions for weeks, months, or even years, based on fundamental or technical trends. Unlike swing or intraday trading, position trading is less concerned with short-term fluctuations. Key tools: Fundamental analysis, macroeconomic indicators, trendlines, moving averages. How it works: Traders analyze long-term trends, company fundamentals, or macroeconomic data to enter positions with an extended holding period. Stop-losses and risk management are essential to mitigate adverse moves. Advantages: Less time-intensive; profits from long-term trends. Challenges: Requires patience and capital; susceptible to market shocks. 9. Algorithmic or Automated Trading Algorithmic trading uses computer programs to execute trades based on predefined rules and quantitative models. It can include high-frequency trading, arbitrage, and trend-following algorithms. Key tools: Quantitative models, APIs, machine learning, historical data analysis. How it works: Algorithms analyze market data in real-time and execute trades automatically when conditions are met. Parameters such as entry price, stop-loss, and take-profit are predefined. Advantages: Removes emotional bias, ensures fast execution, and can process vast data. Challenges: High technical expertise required; system failures or market anomalies can result in losses. 10. Risk Management Across Strategies Regardless of the strategy, risk management is critical. Techniques include: Stop-loss orders: Automatically exit trades to limit losses. Position sizing: Adjust trade size based on account size and risk tolerance. Diversification: Spread risk across assets, sectors, or instruments. Risk-reward ratio: Target trades where potential profit outweighs potential loss, ideally 2:1 or higher. Psychological discipline: Avoid overtrading, emotional decision-making, or chasing losses. Conclusion There is no single “best” trading strategy suitable for everyone. Success in trading depends on matching a strategy with your personality, time availability, market knowledge, and risk tolerance. Trend-following, swing trading, and breakout strategies suit those who can analyze charts and trends, while day trading and scalping require high focus and rapid decision-making. Momentum and mean-reversion strategies cater to traders exploiting specific market behaviors, whereas position trading and algorithmic trading appeal to those focused on long-term trends or systematic execution. Ultimately, combining a robust trading strategy with disciplined risk management, continuous learning, and psychological control creates the foundation for sustainable trading success. Traders who adapt their approach to changing market conditions and remain consistent in execution tend to outperform those chasing quick wins without a structured plan.

DLF Trade Setup – Potential Zigzag Correction in PlayDear Trader, DLF appears to be undergoing a bullish correction in the form of an ABC structure. The price action from 30/09/2025 to 29/10/2025 shows a clear 5-wave impulsive move, followed by a 3-wave corrective decline, which aligns well with the characteristics of a Zigzag (5-3-5) pattern. Key observations: - Wave A completed with a strong 5-wave advance. - Wave B is currently retracing and must hold above 738, which is the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of Wave A, to maintain the Zigzag structure. - A break below 738 would invalidate the Zigzag scenario and suggest a more complex correction. - Stop-loss (SL) is placed at 709, the origin of Wave A. - If the Zigzag holds, we anticipate Wave C to target: - 801 – the 78.6% extension of Wave A - 817 – the 100% extension of Wave A Trade Plan: - Buy DLF above 738 with SL at 709. - Target 1: 801 - Target 2: 817 This setup offers a favorable risk-reward ratio, provided Wave B respects the 61.8% threshold. Monitor price action closely for confirmation. Best regards,

Powergrid Elliott Wave Outlook – Targets Ahead 279 to 300Dear Traders, Powergrid has completed an upward move in five waves, followed by a corrective three-wave structure. This setup leaves us with two possible scenarios: - Zigzag correction - Beginning of a new impulse wave However, the correction has retraced more than 61.8% of Wave A. According to Elliott Wave rules, Wave B in a zigzag cannot retrace beyond 61.8% of Wave A. Since this threshold has been exceeded, the structure cannot be classified as a zigzag. and also can not be classified as flat pattern (which is 3-3-5). Regardless of whether this unfolds as a flat correction or the start of a fresh impulse, the outlook remains bullish. Based on wave projections, Powergrid is expected to move upward toward 279 and subsequently 300 as key targets. Stay disciplined and manage risk accordingly.

Part 2 Support and Resistance How Call Options Generate Profit A Call Option gives you the right—but not obligation—to buy an asset at a fixed price (strike price). You profit from a call option when: The market price goes above the strike price. The premium increases due to: Price movement Increased volatility Reduced time to expiry near ITM levels Example: Nifty trading at 22,000 You buy Call 22,000 CE at ₹120 Price moves to 22,200 Premium increases to ₹200 Your Profit = (200 – 120) × Lot Size This profit comes without buying the actual index—just the premium appreciation.

Longs be cautious in M&MTF: Daily CMP: 3645 The upmove from 2020 lows is at the maturing zone (as we are now trading in the 5th wave) The upmove from April 2025 lows is also at the final leg and this impulse could end soon. In simple price action terms, price has broken down from the sideways range (3660-3780) and the breakdown target for this range is 3540 Price is also trading inside the wedge/leading diagonal, a signature mark of the trend completion. Yet to breakdown from the wedge though. Cloud Set up: Price is above the cloud - Bullish price is at the Base line Support EMA: Price has been constantly bouncing off from 50 DEMA. For now, it is placed at 3600 levels Counts on Weekly TF My Take: Definitely not a place to go long.. but we should wait for a week or two for confirmation of the trend termination and good RR set up for short entry.
