🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD - April 30, 2025 - Wednesday 🔴
🗓️ One more expiry day ended in suspense, surprise and a last-minute spike!
📊 Nifty Summary
Nifty opened slightly green at 24,342, just 6 points above the previous close. A quick dip below the previous day’s low was swiftly recovered, triggering a rally towards 24,400. However, most of the session turned into a slow grind between a narrow 40-point range as both bulls and bears hesitated.
As is typical on expiry days, a sudden burst in the last 5 minutes added 198 points to the move — a nightmare for option sellers but a jackpot for Hero-Zero traders. The day’s true intraday close stood at 24,243, while settlement was at 24,334, reflecting a wide 90-point gap traders must factor in.
🕔 Intraday 5 Min Time Frame Chart
🔁 Intraday Walk
🔹 Opened at 24,342 with a quick drop below PDL, then rebounded.
🔹 Rallied to 24,400 within the first 30 minutes.
🔹 Ranged for hours between 24,330–24,370 with no clear breakout.
🔹 A 198-point spike in the final 30 minutes caught most off-guard.
🔹 True intraday close = 24,243 vs. settlement = 24,334 → Huge difference!
⏱ Intraday 75 Min Time Frame Chart
📐 75-Min Chart Analysis / Zone Commentary
The last 3 sessions showed repeated failed attempts to close above 24,365 (the previous week's high). A symmetrical triangle was clearly visible and delivered a classic trap: a false breakout, a liquidity grab, and an immediate pullback to meet the pattern’s target. Unfortunately, the real breakout happened around 2:35 PM — just after most had packed up for expiry!
📅 Daily Time Frame Chart
🕯️ Daily Candle Breakdown
Today’s Candle Type: Spinning Top (Bearish Tilt)
Today’s OHLC:
Open: 24,342.05
High: 24,396.15
Low: 24,198.75
Close: 24,334.20

Upper Wick = 54.10 pts
Lower Wick = 143.30 pts → Stronger buyer defense but weak follow-through
