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...

Banknifty opened gap down at 38081 and in the first 5mts candle itself it took out the support line of 37946. There was an immediate bounce somehow giving us the impression that the support was intact, the minor pullback tried to close the gap but lost steam by 10.15. The fall from 10.20 to 10.45 looked interesting because the support level proved quite important...

Bank nifty opened at 38811 just above the resistance line marked for yesterday. It tried to rally but was short lived. From 9.15 to 9.30 due to the upward move the CE options near ATM surged pretty heavily. This may be because the call writers would have got nervous and exited the short position fearing market will move significantly higher. Or weak hands would...

BankNifty opened gap down at 39027 breaking the support level of 39327. Tried to recover in the 1st and 3rd candle but the selling pressure was so heavy that it couldnt keep up. What happened from 9.25 to 11.05 was strong selling that even resulted in the 2nd level of support being taken out. This is the 2nd time that BN is taking out 2 support levels in the...

Bank nifty decisively broke 2 support levels today - opened gap down at 40429 midway between the SR levels. Made continuous red candles and broke the first support level at 40149 at 9.30. The red candles didnt really stop till the 2nd support level of 39739 was reached. The first batch of selling took a pause only at 10.20. But by 12.10 even this SR level was...

As expected Bank nifty gap'd down and opened at 440889, but as unexpected BN rose to fill up the gap till 9.35. And what happened from 9.40 to 10.40 was again as expected wherein the BN falls to the support and then makes a pause. Infact what even happened from 11.05 to 12.40 was as planned. But what really shocked was the move from 12.45 to 14.05. I had...

Today's move in Bank nifty quite opposite to the one we had yesterday. Opened at 41282 gap down, just below the support line 41312, rallied & filled the gap in the first candle and then gave it away. Made an interim low at 10.05 rallied back the SR line and then made a lower swing to intraday low at 12.25. This swing ensured that the gap up of yesterday was...

When the S&P does a relief rally for one day, our bank nifty thinks its a reversal and shoots up. Look at what happened today, BN opened gap up at 41304 up 400+ pts and then takes out the resistance in the first candle itself. Look at the strength today, the resistance level was never tested, the gap never tested. The bank nifty continued to show the strength...

Bank nifty opened (40685) right at the support level (40689) made an aggressive move down to 40509 which happened to be the swing low of last working day. For a moment i thought bank nifty is breaking down - but it didnt & the support held quite strong. The 4th candle was a pretty strong one and pulled the BN up. However bank nifty did not have enough steam to...

Bank nifty opened gap down at 40977 tried to close the gap till 9.35 but broke down, made an interim low at 10.00 and then tried to close the gap again till 12.35 but failed. The price action from 12.40 to 14.20 was the only realistic move made by bank nifty this week. Imagine when the global set up is very poor and our Nifty50 major index is showing lack of...

Bank nifty opened 41533 gap up today, made an intraday high in the 3rd candle and then fell to the support line at 41312. Most importantly this support line proved to be quite a fight with swings up and down - and final close at 41208. The opening swing would have taken out most of them by surprise, few of the weak CE writers would have squared off thinking the...
