Banknifty opened gap up at 41513 much above the final resistance level of 41312. The first candle was a huge bearish one with its close breaking the support level. I seriously expected the further candles also to be bearish as the tone set was bearish. But what followed was quick recovery ie from 09.20 to 10.05, the reason i said recovery was because there was no...

We just had a 1hr of trade today - Muhurat Trading as part of Diwali 2022 ie from 18.15 to 19.15. Bank nifty opened gap up at 41348 just above the resistance level of 41312 made a confusing kinda kindle the first 5mts. The wicks were very long as well as the body - so the momentum was hard to guess. For the next 10 candles BN traded just below the resistance...

Bank nifty opened gap up at 40370 almost midway between the support & resistance levels. The opening 15mts indicated the direction is towards upside (3 good green candles) and we were not disappointed. Usually BN makes fake move in the opening minutes - but today’s strength was quite strong. #AXISBANK had announced good results & this was the fresh trigger that...

Bank nifty opened gap down at 40149 almost at the support level and then continued to trade downwards. Looking at the first 15mts of trade i thought we would see a giant red daily candle - but that did not happen. The selling got arrested 39887 level even before the 2nd level of support reached. This may indicate that today’s trade is just positioning for the...

Bank nifty opened gap up at 40556 and tried very hard to go up, even though it tried for the first 18 candles - BN was unable to just rally. This may be due to exhaustion after few days of rally. Or maybe the fresh longs are waiting on the sidelines for another trigger. From 10.40 to 13.05 we had a beautiful fall which even closed the gap, but couldnt take out...

Bank nifty opened gap up at 40252 much above the resistance level of 40154. The first candle was bearish, so was the price action till 09.35. But the support level of 40154 held quite strong and there was an immediate bounce. The green candle at 09.40 almost took back the bearishness of the preceding 3 candles. For the remainder of the day, bank nifty traded in...

Bank nifty opened right at the support level, made a hammer kind of pattern in the first candle. The next candle close was above the support line and then the next 2 candles were of strong bearishness. Looking at the first 20mts of trade i strongly felt bank nifty may trade lower. But what really happened was a strong rally from 09.35 to 10.20. This is quite...

BN opened mega gap up at 39446 breaking through 2 resistance levels in a single go. Even after mega gap-up - never in the day BN attempted to close down the gap - this shows the immense short covering + fresh long additions in the opening hour. Traders who had the guts to do the 9.20 straddle would have made lot of money today in spite of the surge in options...

Bank nifty opened a bit gap down at 38957 and till 09.50 it was failing to close the gap or trade higher. Remember yesterday we discussed that the top made on 12th did not break the swing high of 11th - read here. It proved that the final hour of yesterday’s close was basically short covering and not fresh longs. The opening 30mts today gave all those who covered...

Bank nifty made some interesting price action today. It opened at 38784 above the support line of 38698 went down all the way to 38606 and closed the first candle above this support. Well that was the low for the entire day - the support level was tested once more between 10.45 to 11.10 after which BN steadily rallied higher. Personally i felt BN will trade...

Bank nifty’s performance today was quite surprising. Opened at 39058 right near where we closed yesterday. Usually BN has the habit of opening gap up or gap down everyday, but today’s open was the first surprise - the trade was almost the continuation of yesterday’s price action. Secondly the IV (implied volatility) of bank nifty was very low even while...

SPX fell 2.8% & NDQ 3.88% on friday and the handout to us today morning was not that positive. As expected bank nifty opened gap down 38461 below the support level of 38698. The first candle was bearish, closed down & may have indicated that the rest of the day will be negative. But what happened in the next 2 candles were the opposite, a hammer the 2nd candle...

The chart pattern we were expecting on 6th Sep came today. I think this is the 2nd or 3rd occurrence wherein the expiry day chart patterns are decoupled with the normal trading days. It may be due to huge positioning or legally possible manipulation by the institutional desk. Look at the island price action for expiry day alone & the previous day close = next day...

Bank nifty opened 39343 right at the resistance line made a long wick 5mts 1st candle. The 2nd candle broke the SR line. At 09.40 after seeing the red candle i assumed BN will trade lower and exited the 39500 iron fly at the cost price. I was not expecting BN to go up and the 4 candles from 09.45 to 10.00 really surprised me. And all the trade that happened till...

Banknifty opened gap up right at the resistance level 38700, remember the last day it closed right at the support level. This gap up opening took out the resistance level in the first candle itself and there was no looking back. Never in the day today BN tried to close down the gap or even test this new support line, there was no meaning full dip too in the day....

The day began with an arbitrage - SGXNifty value = 16957 | Nifty50 preopen value = 17100. There was close to .09% money making opportunity translating to Rs7250 per lot of nifty futures traded. SPX ended friday’s trading with a 1.51% fall, NDQ - 1.73% - so its quite normal that we expected India indices to begin low and fall further. But what really happened with...

BN opened at 37660 and made a strong red 1st candle, i personally thought we will have a down day, and i held that belief till 10.15 when the first resistance got taken out. I started the day with selling CE options, but when i saw this counter move i squared off CE side and went to the PE side looking for opportunities. The rally from 10.30 to 14.25 is not a...

Everyone would have expected bank nifty to go up today esp when S&P500 and Nasdaq100 closed 1.97% up yesterday. The gap up opening of 38092 above the resistance line of 37946 shows the level of expectations, but the big-boys had other plans. Check the volume on call option shorts yesterday - see here. The short side positioning was so heavy that bank nifty was...
