Market in Previous Session:

TRADE SETUP FOR MAY 08
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a bullish candlestick pattern with almost similar open and low, indicating buying interest at lower levels around 24,200. This is further supported by the index sustaining above its short-term and medium-term moving averages, suggesting a positive trend.
Nifty is likely to remain range-bound within the 24,600-24,000 zone, consistent with its recent trading pattern over the past eight sessions. The 24,000-23,800 level is expected to provide strong support.
Only a sustained close above the resistance zone of 24,550–24,600 could pave the way for an upward move towards the December 2024 high of 24,850 in the near term.
Volatility is likely to stay elevated due to ongoing geopolitical tensions, tariff-related developments, and Q4 earnings progress.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,490 followed by 24,600 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,300, followed by 24,220.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 54,890, followed by 55,150, while downside support is found at 54,330, followed by 54,100.
Derivative Market Analysis
Nifty:
The Nifty is trading within a tightening range, with the highest call open interest at 24,500 and 24,400, marking key resistance levels. On the downside, strong put OI at 24,000 and fresh additions at 24,300 indicate solid support.
FIIs covered 914 long and 4,019 short positions in index futures, pushing the long-short ratio up from 0.97 to 1.01—signaling a shift toward a more neutral-to-positive stance. For the first time since October 4, 2024, the long-short ratio has moved above 1, suggesting a growing bullish bias among FIIs.
Given the OI buildup, the expected trading range for the day is 24,300 to 24,500. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) stands at 0.97, reflecting a balanced but slightly cautious sentiment.
Bank Nifty:
Bank Nifty continues to face resistance at the 55,000 and 55,500 strikes, where the highest call OI is clustered. Strong put OI at 54,000 and 53,000 provides a solid support base.
A straddle formation at the 54,000 strike in the previous session highlights it as the pivotal level to watch. Based on the option chain, the expected intraday range is 54,000 to 55,000.
The current PCR stands at 0.86, indicating a slightly bearish bias, with potential for a breakout-driven move beyond this range.
