A very tough move indeed from NIFTY today! Once 19,640 was taken out, there was no looking back.
The number of people speculating on the market has shot up, as NIFTY and BANk NIFTY expiry separated. The PCR Ratio at one time in NIFTY was even 2, indicating that there were double the puts in the market than calls!
Anyway, a tough day indeed for non-directional option sellers with fast spikes in premium.
This will likely be a reality in the market going ahead. All traders will free up capital by Wednesday’s NIFTY expiry, and start trading aggressively on Thursday. Earlier, Thursday’s trading volume used to be split between the two indices.
Now that a good resistance zone of 19,650 is broken, it will be respected as good support in upcoming sessions.
And the journey continues for traders, heading towards yet another eventful week. Let it be an amazing one!
