TRADE SETUP FOR OCT 17
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a strong bullish candle with a higher high and higher low, showing that positive momentum remains intact.
On Thursday, the Nifty broke above a downward trendline connecting the major highs of September 2024 and June 2025, confirming strength and a continuation of the uptrend. On shorter timeframes, it also broke out of a three-month symmetrical triangle pattern, adding to the bullish outlook. Any pullback from here is likely to offer buying opportunities.
We expect the index to maintain its upward move toward the June 2025 high near 25,670. A breakout above this level could push it further toward 25,800 in the near term.
The breakout zone between 25,350 and 25,450 from Thursday’s session is likely to act as key support in the coming sessions.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,670, followed by 25,790 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,450, followed by 25,360.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 57,690, followed by 57,900, while downside support is found at 57,150, followed by 56,900.
Derivative Market Analysis
Nifty:
Major Call Open Interest (OI) is observed at the 26,000 strike, followed by 25,800, which will act as the immediate resistance zone.
On the other hand, Put writing has been noted across 25,300 to 25,500 levels, indicating that support is gradually shifting higher.
Notably, Call unwinding at 25,500 along with fresh Put writing at the same strike reflects a positive undertone and hints at strengthening bullish sentiment.
Based on the option chain setup, the deciding range for Nifty lies between 25,400–25,500 on the downside and 25,800 on the upside.
The Put–Call Ratio (PCR) has improved by 0.17 points to 1.38, reinforcing the positive sentiment in the market.
Bank Nifty:
In Bank Nifty, the highest Call as well as Put OI is concentrated at the 57,000 strike, making it the key deciding level for the index.
The Put writers have shifted their positions to higher strikes, reflecting a positive bias and increased conviction for a continued up move.
At the same time, Call writers have partially unwound their positions at both the 57,000 and 58,500 strikes, suggesting a cautious stance on further upside movement. The immediate resistance for Bank Nifty is placed at 58,000.
Overall, the deciding range for Bank Nifty is seen between 57,000 and 58,000 levels.
The PCR has inched higher by 0.08 points to 1.18, indicating a supportive undertone for the bulls.
