BANKNIFTY : Trading Levels and Plan for 21-Mar-2025

1 028
📅 BANK NIFTY Trading Plan – 21-Mar-2025
📍 Reference Close: 49,993.80
📊 Chart Context: Bank Nifty is trading just below a crucial consolidation zone after a strong uptrend. Now, price is near a likely decision point, where either profit booking or another leg of rally may unfold.

📌 Opening Scenario 1: GAP-UP Opening (200+ Points)
🟢 Expected Opening Zone: 50,200 – 50,350+

  1. []A gap-up above 50,113 opens the day inside or above the Profit Booking / Consolidation Zone (50,009 – 50,113).
    []If Bank Nifty opens near 50,200 – 50,350, be cautious of profit booking and wick rejections.
    []Price needs to sustain above 50,498 for a fresh breakout. If sustained, we may see an attempt to move toward 50,600+.
    []In case price struggles and forms bearish candles near 50,113 – 50,200, short trades can be initiated with stop loss above 50,498, targeting 49,848 and 49,628.


🎯 Educational Tip: Avoid chasing trades during a gap-up unless price sustains above key resistance levels with a breakout-retest confirmation.

📌 Opening Scenario 2: FLAT Opening (Within 49,950 – 50,050)
🟠 Expected Opening Zone: 49,950 – 50,050

  1. []Flat openings require a wait-and-watch approach during the first 15–30 mins.
    []Monitor price behavior around 50,009 – 50,113 zone. If price consolidates here without breakout, it could be a signal for sideways to negative bias.
    []Shorting opportunity arises if price fails to break 50,113 and closes below 49,993 with strong bearish candles – downside targets are 49,848 → 49,628.
    []For bullish bias, price must give a sustained move and 15-min close above 50,113 – in that case, expect a potential rally towards 50,498+.


🎯 Educational Tip: During flat opens, let the market form its direction. Don’t pre-empt moves – instead, trade the reaction to key levels.

📌 Opening Scenario 3: GAP-DOWN Opening (200+ Points)
🔻 Expected Opening Zone: 49,700 – 49,500

  1. []Gap-downs into or below Opening Resistance Zone (49,572 – 49,628) need to be observed for reaction.
    []If price reclaims and sustains above 49,628, it indicates strength and a chance to move toward 49,848 and possibly 49,993.
    []If rejection happens from this zone and price stays below 49,572, expect further downside toward 49,116 (Last Informed Demand Zone).
    []Avoid aggressive shorting on open – wait for retest and rejection from resistance to maintain risk-reward.


🎯 Educational Tip: On gap-down days, markets often trap early sellers. Always wait for price confirmation before entering the trade.

🛡 Risk Management Tips for Options Traders 💡

  1. []Do not buy deep OTM options, especially post 11:00 AM – time decay works against you.
    []Prefer spreads (like Bull Call or Bear Put) if expecting directional move with limited risk.
    []Set pre-defined stop losses and maximum loss per day (1–2% of capital).
    []Avoid revenge trading. One missed trade is better than blowing your capital.
    []Use higher time frame confirmation (like 15-min or hourly) before taking position.
    []Avoid holding weekly options overnight unless well in-the-money and hedged.
