BANKNIFTY : Trading levels and Plan for 14-Jan-2025

Trading Plan for 14-Jan-2025
This plan is designed to provide actionable strategies for different opening scenarios. Follow the guidelines carefully and use risk management techniques for better results.

Scenario 1: Gap-Up Opening (200+ Points Above 48,137)
🟢 A gap-up opening indicates bullish sentiment. However, be cautious near resistance levels.

[] Key Levels: Monitor 48,474 (Immediate resistance for retracement) and 48,863 (Major resistance). [] Plan of Action:

If Bank Nifty opens near 48,474 and faces rejection, look for a bearish candle confirmation to initiate a short trade. Target 48,137 or the gap-fill level.
If it sustains above 48,474 for at least 15 minutes, consider a long trade with a target of 48,863. Use hourly candle close as a stop-loss trigger.
Risk Management Tip: For options, prefer selling far OTM calls near resistance to capitalize on time decay if resistance holds.
Scenario 2: Flat Opening (Near 48,047)
🟡 Flat openings often indicate indecision. Wait for price action confirmation.
1. [] Key Levels: Monitor 48,137 - 47,997 (No-Trade Zone).
