Unlike yesterday we had some price moves today, a typical V pattern that would have given traders something to cheer about. Otherwise a falling volatility would have sucked out the premiums from the weekly options. NSE:BANKNIFTY open was inline at 41513, traded flat till 10.35 after which we had our first move of the day. A 1.08% ~ 448pts fall from 10.40 to...

A kind of boring price action today, except for the opening 30mts we literally had a cool & relaxing day today. NSE:BANKNIFTY opened inline at 41530 made some up downs for 5 consecutive candles showing indecisiveness & lack of direction. But i was still fearful to deploy short straddle or iron fly thats because the premiums in the options were already quite...

NSE:BANKNIFTY opened gap up at 41019 much above the resistance level of 40869, the gap would have been because of the excellent hand out from the US markets yesterday. SP:SPX & NDQ had outperformed with good gains. Our gap up did not sustain though, we fell 1.61% from 09.30 to the support zone 40700, with a LOD of 40609.  From this support zone there was a...

Apologies for not able to prepare this report earlier in the day as i had some personal commitment. The day was nothing short of exciting though, well not as much drama as yesterday. Even though bank nifty traded in a tighter range today - the options premium were bloated. Knowing very well its an expiry day too - option sellers did utilize the opportunity to...

Writing about what happened today is one thing, being alive as a trader after watching each 5mts candle - priceless! After what happened today, i am almost 100% certain that my report will not holistically include all the information there is. Let me still try ! Gap up opening at 41115 above the resistance level 40868, till 12.15 we literally did go...

Today's market price action would have not have surprised anyone, thats mainly because we had some breathtaking moves last 2 to 3 days. So today NSE:BANKNIFTY was pausing to take some breath. Tomorrow we have the Union Budget - so we can expect some moves after 11 AM when the FM starts her speech. But honestly the market is not going into the budget with any...

Again we had a 4 support & resistance zone in play today, the price action formed is also quite tricky. The most commendable part is the conviction of bulls to rally NSE:BANKNIFTY in the last 90mts and close it in green. In essence who could have really predicted the close in green, just look at where it opened 39856 right near the SR zone of 39839 makes an...

There were 4 support & resistance zones in play today, 3 supports broken & 1 held. No pull back rally - just a consolation flat type trading last 3hrs today. Lets analyze it one by one. The accusations against Adani group companies by Hindenburg research caught the lime light today, markets reacting more seriously than on 25th Jan. Many of the Adani group...

What a day today ! I had to take some for things to sink in. We literally had 3 support & resistance in play today & that should make an amazing post mortem today. The open was inline at 42703 very near to the close yesterday, i was hesitant to go in with a debit ratio spread of 42500/42400 PE 2:4 ratio when it had only 28pts premium. The major reason i didnt...

Yesterday we started discussing on the habit of NSE:BANKNIFTY taking out the support & resistance via gaps. Thats what happened today also. We opened gap up at 42994 above the resistance level of 42888. This was the same resistance level that had a breakout failure yesterday, so today we took that out in open. The 09.30 candle was pretty strong and i almost...

Another boring price action today, the minimal variance in options premium after the morning jump shows the lack of volatility today. NSE:BANKNIFTY Gap up opening at 42891 right at the resistance level of 42888, The first candle showed a brief rejection, but the 3rd and 4th candles were quite strong and surged ahead. BN hit HOD of 43005 at 09.50 and from there...

Pretty unconvincing price action by NSE:BANKNIFTY today morning esp after US markets SP:SPX fell 0.76%, TVC:DJI 0.76% and NDQ -1% overnight. This is in addition to the fall on 18th. SPX has now fallen consecutively for 3 days from the resistance level of 3991 & now 3945. We hit the resistance of 42573 in the 2nd candle itself and a consistent rally from...

Honestly was expecting a turbulent and volatile expiry day today after SP:SPX fell 1.56% & TVC:DJI 1.81% overnight. I was quite shocked to see NSE:BANKNIFTY pre-open rate of only -0.1% & i assumed we may tank close to 1.5 to 2% today. But what turned out was a boring choppy day in a narrowest possible range i have seen after Covid 2022 lockdown. I got into...

Quite an uneventful day today, NSE:BANKNIFTY did not break the nearest support or resistance level which means the range bound trade continues. Open was inline wrt previous day's close, but we started falling in the first 20mts. Nothing major and we had a quick reversal & bullish rally. From the LOD we went up 1.04% ~ 436pts by 11.40 and stopped by the...

We had another interesting day today, technically the open & close of NSE:BANKNIFTY was near the same - but there was some price action thats worth analyzing. The opening candle was long red body with a short tail, by the 2nd and 3rd candle BN recovered what was lost in the 1st. From there it started building up gains till 10.00 where it kind of ran out of...

Lets go by the crowd's mindset - What would you have done today morning just after the pre-open wherein NSE:BANKNIFTY indicated a gap up opening & HDFCBk (most weighted component) had a superb results QoQ. Ans: You would have gone long today - right? And thats where the smart money would have trapped you. Gap up opening at 42622 above the resistance line and...

The bullish bounce that was overdue is done today, remember we had discussed over last 2 sessions that the option premium data is showing a short term bullish stance. If we look at the 5mts chart of NSE:BANKNIFTY , apart from the opening 30mts of volatility - we had a smooth day of trade…banknifty.medium.com So it was just an ultra short term target, we also...

Well for starters - yesterday's bullish call didnt go that well. NSE:BANKNIFTY ended 0.21% lower. Luckily its only down 37 odd pts because at 13.35 we were 595pts ~ 1.41% from the HOD. If you had read by bullish call before that - you would have thought i am crazy. From an expiry trading perspective today proved to be an ideal day for traders both bulls & bears,...
