View for Traders:
This has been an interesting week which offered immense learning opportunities to the practitioners.
It was mentioned in the last published blog that Index may take any side and great move may come at either of the sides and the commentary of Fed will cause this move.
We have witnessed the same and now stand with the same question “What is next”? Will Index recover from the current levels or it will show more weakness in upcoming trading sessions.
If we analyse the current global scenario then there is no such trigger which will push aur drag Index towards any unexpected levels.
Technically, Index is giving indications of reversal from current levels as it has made an Inverted Hammer kind of candle on both Weekly and Daily timeframe charts.
Analysing the Options-Chain, we find that there is strong support present at 18200 and 18100 as these hold Highest Open Interests on Put side. On the other hand , Bulls and Bears will fight for 18300 and 18350-400 will hold strong resistance as these hold the highest Open Interests on Call side.
This indicates that index is entering into the consolidation mode with the broader trading range of 18100-18400.
If the Index breaks 18400 and sustains then there are high chances that it will show 18500 and on the other hand if Index fails to defend 18150 then there are high chances that Index will retest 18040 ( Which was mentioned as Vital Level in previous posts).
So, based on these parameters one may expect a volatile session on Monday 19-12-2022 as trade will take place at both the sides.
So on Monday, it seems lucrative to Buy NIFTY in the range of 18175-200 for target of 18250-18300. SL may be kept below 18100 on closing basis.
Sellers must take their chances in the range of 18350-375 for target of 18250-200. SL may be kept above 18435 on closing basis.
