Derivative Market Analysis

  1. Nifty:

    • The Nifty's highest call OI addition is at the 23,000 level, with immediate call OI at 22,500, indicating potential short covering above 22,500 that could drive prices towards 23,000.

    • Significant put writing at 22,400 and 22,000 levels suggests strong support at 22,400; a breach below this could lead to a drop towards 22,000. The accumulation of call and put OI at 22,500 points to a straddle formation, making it a key level.

    • Option chain analysis shows call unwinding below 22,400 and put writers moving to higher levels, suggesting a positive outlook.

    • The Nifty's put-call ratio increased slightly to 1.24, with a 0.1% decline in open interest and a 0.2% rise in price, indicating short covering.

  2. Bank Nifty:

  • The highest call OI addition at 48,500 suggests resistance at this level, with potential upward movement towards 48,500 if the index stays above 48,000. Conversely, a significant put OI at 48,000 provides strong support, and a sustained drop below this level could lead to a decline towards 47,500.

  • The accumulation of call and put OI at the 48,000 level indicates a straddle formation, making it a pivotal point for the Bank Nifty. 

  • The immediate range for the Bank Nifty is between 47,500 and 48,500, with a breach on either side likely prompting directional movement. A 0.5% decline in OI alongside a 0.2% price increase indicates short covering.

  1. Fin Nifty:

  • Major call OI is at 22,000, followed by 21,500, suggesting that if the price surpasses and sustains above 21,500, a short-covering rally towards 21,700 is likely.

  • The highest put OI additions are at the 21,000 level, followed by 21,500, indicating that if the price remains below 21,500, consolidation is expected as put writers dominate below this level.

  • Consequently, option chain analysis indicates that Fin Nifty is expected to consolidate within the range of 21,300 to 21,700 for the weekly expiry.
