Sensex Weekly Expiry Outlook: 77,000–77,500 Range in Focus


    By Dalal Street Investment Journal (DSIJ)

    Summary :


    Sensex weekly expiry outlook: Sensex opened strong above 77,000 on weekly expiry and touched 77,449.25 before trimming gains near 77,232. Options data shows mild bullish bias, with PCR at 1.05 and max pain at 77,200. Strong Put writing at 77,000 signals support, while Call writing at 77,300 and 77,500 highlights resistance. Sustaining above 77,300 may push Sensex towards 77,500 during the current expiry setup.

    Sensex Weekly Expiry

    The BSE Sensex began the weekly expiry session on Thursday, July 2, with a positive bias, opening above the important psychological mark of 77,000. Buying interest picked up soon after the opening bell, helping the index register an intraday high of 77,449.25.

    However, the index later trimmed part of its gains. As of 11:00 AM, Sensex was trading near the 77,232 mark, up around 310 points for the day.

    Sensex Options Data Shows Support Building Near 77,000

    For all expiries, the Put-Call Ratio stands at 1.05, while the max pain is placed at 77,200. This indicates a mildly positive bias, with the index trading close to the max pain zone.

    On the Put (PE) side, significant open interest addition has been seen at the 77,000 PE strike so far in the session. At the same time, short-covering was observed at the 77,000 CE strike, reinforcing 77,000 as a firm support floor for the current expiry. 

    Following the 77,000 strike, the next notable accumulation sits at the 77,200 PE. Overall, the 77,000 Put strike commands the highest open interest concentration for the session. 

    Call Writers Active At 77,300 And 77,500

    On the Call (CE) side, the highest open interest addition has been seen at the 77,500 CE strike, followed by 77,300 CE. The maximum Call open interest concentration is also placed at 77,500 CE.

    This shows that Call writers are defending the upper band near 77,500, while 77,300 is acting as the immediate hurdle.

    Key Levels to Watch for Sensex Weekly Expiry

    The open interest build-up at 77,300 CE and 77,500 CE suggests that Sensex may face immediate resistance around 77,300. A sustained move above this level could push the index towards 77,500.

    However, since the highest Call open interest is concentrated at 77,500 CE, Call writers are unlikely to panic unless Sensex sustains decisively above 77,500.

    On the downside, 77,000 remains the crucial support level. As long as the index holds above this zone, the expiry sentiment is likely to remain mildly positive. A break below 77,000, however, may weaken the intraday structure and shift the focus back towards lower support zones.
