TRADE SETUP FOR MAR 11
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Nifty’s volatility remained elevated, retreating 0.45% after a three-session winning streak. The formation of a shooting star-like candle on the daily chart signals profit booking near the 20-day EMA, following a sharp 700-point rebound over the past 4-5 sessions.
In the previous session, the index pulled back from a key gap-down zone on the weekly chart and the 20-day EMA. Immediate support is placed at 22,200-22,100, and sustaining above this zone is critical for the continuation of the recovery towards 22,800-23,000 in the coming week.
The primary short-term support zone is seen at 22,000-21,700, aligning with the 100-week EMA and a major trendline support connecting multi-year lows.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 22,460 followed by 22,570 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 22,220, followed by 22,100.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 48,220, followed by 48,470, while downside support is found at 47,800, followed by 48,500.
Derivative Market Analysis
Nifty:
Call writers are active across the strikes at 22,500, 22,600, and 22,700 levels, indicating multiple resistance points. The highest call OI is noted at the 23,000 level.
Major put OI is observed at the 22,000 level, which will act as crucial support. Put writers have unwound contracts and shifted their positions to lower levels, suggesting a cautious stance regarding a potential downside move.
According to the option chain, the immediate range for Nifty is 22,200 to 22,700.
The Nifty put-call ratio declined by 0.17 and is now at 0.91.
Bank Nifty:
Major call OI is noted at the 49,000 level, with additional positions built at 48,500, which will act as immediate resistance. A breakout above this level could trigger short covering.
Major put OI is observed at 48,000, which will serve as crucial support for Bank Nifty. A price breach below 48,000 could lead to a corrective move.
The accumulation of both call and put OI at the 48,500 level suggests it as the deciding level for the day.
