BankNifty Weekly Expiry Analysis Between the last expiry and today, BankNifty gained an impressive 909pts ~ 2.13%. It broke through 3 resistance lines to give some hope to the bulls. If we talk about the expiry day today, the OTM premiums were horrible today. Due to the collapse of implied volatility - the market participants were not anticipating any movements. Today is one rare day when I decided not to sell any PUT options. I felt its better not to sell than sell cheap. CALL options on the other hand had better premiums after the opening hour.
BankNifty Today Analysis We almost hit the 43800 levels in the opening candle, but there was some difference in the price action if we compare it with Nifty. Although both Nifty and BankNifty fell till 11.15, Nifty managed to climb back whereas BankNifty lost the momentum. The tiredness of the bulls was more prominent in BN. I usually take BankNifty’s price action as a leading indicator during trend reversals.
Seems like I need to draw a new support/resistance line at 43566, because we stopped and reversed twice at that zone. I never had that level marked in my chart before. I have highlighted the 4 recent instances in blue color.
Looking at the hourly chart, I have decided to change my stance from bullish to neutral. The only way to change back to bullish is to break the 44063 levels. Whereas to go bearish, BankNifty will have to break at least 4 supports and trade below 43012. So until then, I wish to stay neutral.
