Key Drivers for Today’s Upside

• Sustained buying: The first five minutes saw a strong bullish delta of 117,150 (36.31%), with buyers quickly absorbing early selling.
• Resistance at 26,000: Heavy call open interest at this strike prompted profit booking and resulted in Nifty failing to close above 26,000, as seen in recent expiry week behavior.
• Sectoral strength: All major sectors except pharma closed in the green, supported by optimism about India’s growth outlook and news around higher FII limits in state-run banks.
• Order flow: 25,950 saw 13 POC counts, highlighting this zone as a strong reference for coming sessions.

My Trade

A 26,000 call short plus OTM call buy trade played out profitably as Nifty respected resistance and did not break above 26,000—exit was taken by close, avoiding overnight risk. This expiry-week pattern reflects smart play against visible option interest and remains a low-risk approach when key levels are clear.

Professional Observations

• Expiry dynamics: As tomorrow is monthly expiry, keep a watch on pre-open cues—if buyers push for a gap up, large call writers at 26,000 may be forced to exit, leading to a sharp move. Otherwise, consolidation below 26,000 may persist, with expiry volatility providing both risks and opportunities.
• High POC count: The strong 25,950 reference level may become key support or resistance for the sessions ahead.
