NIFTY : Trading Levels and Plan for 31-Oct-2024

Intro:
On the previous trading day, Nifty exhibited a mix of consolidation and upward momentum, with notable resistance zones tested near 24,594. Key levels for 31-Oct-2024 have been identified, with trends marked as follows: yellow for sideways movement, green for bullish momentum, and red for bearish sentiment. This plan provides strategies for different opening scenarios.

Trading Plan for 31-Oct-2024

1. Gap Up Opening (100+ points above)
   
   If Nifty opens 100+ points above the previous close, it may test the First Resistance/Consolidation Zone near 24,594. If the index sustains above this level, we may see a push towards the Profit Booking Zone at 24,694. However, if it struggles to hold above 24,594, expect a retracement towards the Opening Support/Resistance level at 24,320.
   
   – A reversal from the resistance levels could prompt a move back to the Support at Retracement at 24,163.
   
   
   
2. Flat Opening (within 50 points of the previous close)
   
   For a flat opening, the key level to watch is 24,349. Sustaining above this point could lead to a breakout, targeting 24,594 and possibly extending towards the Profit Booking Zone at 24,694. Conversely, if momentum fails above 24,349, Nifty might move sideways around 24,320 or even test the lower support at 24,285.
   
   – A downside break below 24,285 could increase bearish pressure, with potential support found at 24,163.
   
   
   
3. Gap Down Opening (100+ points below)
   
   In a gap-down scenario, initial support may be found near 24,285. A rebound from this level could bring the price back toward 24,349. If the index sustains above 24,349, bullish momentum could retest the resistance at 24,594. However, if 24,285 fails to hold, a decline towards Support at Retracement near 24,163 is likely.
   
   – Persistent weakness below 24,163 might drive further downside towards the Last Intraday Support at 24,040.
