Intro: Yesterday's Plan vs Actual The chart uploaded for 15-Dec-2024 accurately depicted the market's movement. As anticipated, Nifty faced sharp recovery from mentioned zone after a sharp decline in prices. Monday’s plan builds on these insights, focusing on opening scenarios and trading strategies.
If Nifty opens significantly higher, near or above 25,053:
Expect resistance around 25,053 (marked red on the chart). Observe for rejection signals such as bearish candles or reduced buying momentum. Plan of Action: For aggressive traders: Initiate a short position with a target of 24,767, placing a stop-loss above 25,100 on an hourly candle close basis. For conservative traders: Wait for a pullback toward the consolidation zone (24,653 - 24,767) for potential long positions, targeting a retest of 25,053. Watch out for a decisive breakout above 25,053, which can trigger further bullish momentum toward 25,335.
Scenario 2: Flat Opening (Near 24,781)
If Nifty opens near the previous close:
The consolidation zone (24,653 - 24,767) will act as a critical area. Plan of Action: Initiate long positions if Nifty sustains above 24,767 with targets of 25,053. Place stop-loss below 24,653. If Nifty slips below 24,653, short positions can be considered with a target of 24,542. Ensure a tight stop-loss above 24,653. Pay attention to the price action in the yellow trend zone, as sideways movement could lead to traps.
24,542 is the opening support level (marked green on the chart). Observe for sharp recovery signs like bullish engulfing candles. Plan of Action: For bulls: Look for a recovery from 24,542 to target 24,653 with a stop-loss below 24,500. If 24,542 breaks decisively, expect bearish momentum toward 24,217. In this case, initiate shorts with a target of 24,217 and stop-loss above 24,542.
Risk Management Tips for Options Trading

Stick to it strictly. []Avoid holding positions beyond your planned targets. Use trailing stop-losses to lock in profits during trending moves.
