BANKNIFTY : Levels and Plan for 30-Aug-2024On 29th August 2024, Bank Nifty demonstrated a sideways movement with limited volatility. The index showed resistance at the 51,315 zone while holding support near the 50,944 level. The range-bound movement indicated consolidation, with no significant breakout on either side. As we move into 30th August, the price action around key levels will be crucial to determine the next directional move.
Trading Plan for 30th August 2024
1. Gap Up Opening (+200 points or more)
- If Bank Nifty opens above 51,315, monitor for a potential rejection near 51,484, which is marked as the last resistance for intraday. If the index fails to sustain above 51,484, a quick retracement towards 51,187 could be expected.
- However, if the index sustains above 51,484, it may head towards the profit booking level around 51,763. Consider booking partial profits if this level is reached.
- Risk Management Tip: For options, consider buying a put option with a strike price slightly above 51,484 as a hedge if the resistance seems strong.
2. Flat Opening (within ±50 points)
- In the case of a flat opening around 51,166, focus on the price action near the immediate resistance zone of 51,187. A rejection here could lead to a dip towards the opening support zone of 50,944.
- If Bank Nifty breaks above 51,187, look for opportunities to go long with a target of 51,315, followed by the next resistance at 51,484.
- Risk Management Tip: Use a trailing stop loss to protect profits if the index breaks above 51,187, as volatility could increase.
3. Gap Down Opening (-200 points or more)
- A gap down opening below 50,944 could bring the opening support zone of 50,809 into play. Watch for a possible recovery from this level. If Bank Nifty holds above 50,809, it could attempt to retrace towards 51,000.
- However, if the index breaks below 50,809, it could find buyers' support near the 50,530 level. A further breakdown below this level may indicate weakness, signaling shorting opportunities.
- Risk Management Tip: Consider buying a call option as a hedge if the index holds above 50,809 after a significant gap down.
