Market Context:
Bank Nifty closed at 48,289.30, showing some consolidation near the mid-range of the current structure. The key levels for the day include:
🔴 Resistance Zones:
48,408 – Opening Resistance / Support
48,611 - 48,712 – Last Intraday Resistance Zone
49,114 – Extended Upside Target
🟠 No Trade Zone: 47,954 - 48,106
🟢 Buyer’s Support Zone: 47,363 - 47,573
A 200+ point gap opening should be considered when planning trades. Let's analyze the different opening scenarios.
🟢 Scenario 1: Gap-Up Opening (200+ Points)
If Bank Nifty opens above 48,500, it will enter the Last Intraday Resistance Zone (48,611 - 48,712).
- [] A strong opening with follow-through buying above 48,712 can push Bank Nifty toward 49,114, where profit booking may emerge.
[] If resistance at 48,712 holds, expect a retracement back to 48,408 (Opening Support). A retest and rejection here may provide a short opportunity. - Traders should wait for a decisive hourly close above or below resistance before entering trades.
🔹 Trading Plan:
Look for a long position only if an hourly candle closes above 48,712, with 49,114 as the target.
If price struggles to sustain above 48,712, watch for a short opportunity targeting 48,408.
Option traders can consider 48,500 CE for long trades or 48,700 PE if rejection is seen.
🟡 Scenario 2: Flat Opening (Within 48,100 - 48,400)
If Bank Nifty opens near 48,289, it will be near the Opening Support/Resistance level (48,408).
- [] Initial movement will determine direction. A breakout above 48,408 may lead to a test of 48,712, whereas rejection can lead to a retest of the No Trade Zone.
[] If price enters the No Trade Zone (47,954 - 48,106), it's best to wait for a clear direction rather than forcing trades. - A break below 47,954 could lead to weakness, targeting the Buyer’s Support Zone (47,363 - 47,573).
🔹 Trading Plan:
Avoid trading inside the No Trade Zone.
Look for confirmation of support at 48,106 before entering long trades.
A rejection from 48,408 can provide a short opportunity toward 48,106.
🔴 Scenario 3: Gap-Down Opening (200+ Points Below)
If Bank Nifty opens near or below 47,900, it will enter a bearish phase with possible testing of the Buyer’s Support Zone (47,363 - 47,573).
- [] The first reaction from this zone is crucial. A bounce from 47,363 can provide a high reward long trade opportunity.
[] If Bank Nifty sustains below 47,954, avoid aggressive longs unless a strong reversal signal appears. - Breakdown below 47,363 can open the gates for further downside, making 47,000 - 47,100 the next potential target.
🔹 Trading Plan:
If price holds 47,363, a long trade can be considered with targets of 47,954 - 48,100.
If price fails to hold, a short position can be taken with a target of 47,100.
Option traders can use 47,500 PE for breakdown trades and 47,400 CE for reversals.
