Market in Previous Session:
Indian equity benchmarks wrapped up a volatile session on May 8th with a bearish undertone, weighed down by rising geopolitical tensions following reports of Indian forces neutralising an air defence system in Lahore.

TRADE SETUP FOR MAY 09
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a bearish candle with a lower high and lower low, indicating profit booking at higher levels amid rising geopolitical tensions.
It is expected to open with a gap down, and a decisive break below Thursday’s low of 24,150 could trigger further downside towards the 24,000–23,900 zone.
Key support lies between 23,800 and 24,000, a region that marks the confluence of the past two weeks' lows and a recent breakout level. As long as the index holds above this support, the ongoing consolidation seen over the last 10 sessions within the 23,800–24,600 range may continue.
However, a breach below 23,800 could pave the way for deeper correction towards the 200-day EMA, placed near 23,500–23,400 levels.
Volatility is expected to remain elevated, driven by geopolitical developments, tariff-related concerns, and the ongoing Q4 earnings season.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,300 followed by 24,440 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,930, followed by 24,800.

Nifty:
The highest Call Open Interest (OI) addition is observed at the 25,000 level, indicating a strong resistance zone.
Immediate resistance is seen around the 24,300–24,400 range, with active call writing at these strikes.
On the downside, substantial Put OI buildup at the 24,000 level suggests strong support.
The option chain indicates a near-term trading range between 24,000 and 24,500. A breakout on either side may lead to the next directional move.
The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) has increased by 0.11, currently standing at 1.08.
Bank Nifty:
Aggressive Put writing at the 54,000 level implies this zone as strong support; a breakdown below may lead to increased downside pressure.
Resistance is established at 55,000 and 55,500 levels due to significant Call writing.
The current option setup suggests a short-term range of 54,000 to 55,500 for Bank Nifty. A decisive break on either end could dictate the next trend.
The PCR for Bank Nifty has declined slightly by 0.02, now positioned at 0.84.
