USDT Dominance – Updated Elliott Wave & ICT AnalysisYesterday, we anticipated a bullish reaction from the 4.20%–4.22% support zone, and the market followed through perfectly. The current structure is forming a contracting triangle (ABCDE), and we are now likely heading into wave E.
🔹 Wave Structure (NeoWave View):
Wave D has reacted sharply from the expected support.
Wave E is now in progress, targeting the 4.42%–4.44% resistance zone.
This could complete the triangle structure and signal a potential trend reversal.
🔸 From ICT/Smart Money Perspective:
The market tapped into a clean bullish Order Block.
Below the support zone, there was clear liquidity sweep followed by a strong BOS (Break of Structure) upward.
All signs point to short-term strength in USDT.D.
📌 Scenarios:
Bullish case (primary): Wave E completes around 4.43%–4.44%, followed by possible reversal.
Invalidation: A break below 4.20% with no bullish defense would invalidate this triangle and require reassessment.
🧠 Takeaway:
This structure could mark a temporary market top for altcoins as USDT.D pushes higher. Keep an eye on the 4.43% level.

Thea **Cup and Handle** pattern✨ **Imagine the market serving profits in a teacup!**
Thea **Cup and Handle** pattern isn’t just a technical term—it’s the market whispering, *“Get ready for liftoff!”* Let’s break it down in an engaging way:
### ☕ The Cup
- Picture a graceful drop in price that curves back up, forming a U-shape.
- It’s like the market takes a sip, then refills—symbolizing recovery and building strength.
### 🛠️ The Handle
- After the cup fills, the price dips slightly again, forming a small slope downward.
- This is the “handle”—a moment of consolidation, often with lower trading volume.
- It’s the calm before the bullish storm.
### 💡 Bullish Signal
- When the price **breaks above the handle’s resistance**, it’s like the market pulls the trigger.
- This signals a potential buying opportunity as the trend resumes upward.
### 📆 Duration
- The cup can take weeks or even months to form, while the handle is shorter and more subtle.
- Patience pays off, as the breakout often leads to explosive momentum.

1. Introduction to Option Chain
In the world of options trading, success is not just about buying calls or puts randomly—it’s about understanding market data. One of the most important tools for analyzing this data is the Option Chain. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced trader, mastering option chain analysis can help you identify market sentiment, key levels, and trading opportunities.
2. What Is an Option Chain?
An Option Chain, also known as an Options Matrix, is a tabular representation of all available option contracts (both Call and Put) for a particular underlying asset—like Nifty, Bank Nifty, Reliance, TCS, etc.—for a specific expiry date.
It shows:
Strike prices
Premiums (Prices)
Open interest (OI)
Volume
Implied volatility (IV)
Bid/ask prices
Think of it like a menu card for options, showing all the possible trades you can take, and key stats about each.
3. Key Components of an Option Chain
✅ Strike Price:
The price at which you can buy (Call) or sell (Put) the underlying asset.
✅ Premium (LTP):
The last traded price (LTP) of the option.
✅ Open Interest (OI):
The number of open contracts for a strike price. Indicates trader interest.
✅ Change in OI:
The change in open positions compared to the previous day.
✅ Volume:
The number of contracts traded in the current session.
✅ Implied Volatility (IV):
Market's expected volatility of the underlying asset.
4. Call vs. Put Options in the Chain
In every option chain, you’ll see two sections:
Call Options (Left side) Put Options (Right side)
Bullish expectation Bearish expectation
Buy if expecting upside Buy if expecting downside
Sell if expecting sideways/down Sell if expecting sideways/up
Usually, the middle column contains strike prices, with Call data on the left and Put data on the right.
5. How to Read an Option Chain
Let’s take an example:
Assume Nifty is trading at 22,200. You look at the Nifty option chain.
You’ll see multiple rows of strike prices (e.g., 22,000, 22,100, 22,200…) and for each, data like LTP, OI, IV.
Look for:
ATM (At-the-money): Closest strike to the current price (22,200).
ITM (In-the-money): For calls, strikes < spot; for puts, strikes > spot.
OTM (Out-of-the-money): For calls, strikes > spot; for puts, strikes < spot.
Example:
22,200 is ATM.
22,100 Call is ITM.
22,300 Call is OTM.
6. Open Interest (OI) Analysis
OI is one of the most powerful indicators in option chain analysis. It shows where traders are placing their bets.
✔️ What to Look For:
High OI = Strong interest at that strike.
Increase in OI = New positions being added.
Decrease in OI = Positions being closed.
✔️ Interpretations:
High OI in Call → Resistance level.
High OI in Put → Support level.
Let’s say:
22,500 Call has 30 lakh OI → Strong resistance.
22,000 Put has 35 lakh OI → Strong support.
This gives you the trading range of Nifty: 22,000 to 22,500.
7. Implied Volatility (IV) Analysis
IV represents the market's future expectations of volatility. Higher IV means higher premiums.
✔️ Why IV Matters:
When IV is high, options are expensive.
When IV is low, options are cheaper.
✔️ Practical Use:
Sell options when IV is very high (premium is inflated).
Buy options when IV is low (premium is cheap).
8. Strike Price Selection
Choosing the right strike is key for successful trading.
✔️ For Buying Options:
Buy slightly ITM for better delta and time value.
ATM works for short-term, fast movements.
✔️ For Selling Options:
Sell OTM options with high OI and low IV.
✔️ Tip:
Always check the OI and IV before choosing a strike. Avoid illiquid strikes (with low OI or volume).
9. Support and Resistance Levels from Option Chain
You can spot support and resistance based on OI data.
✔️ Support:
Strike where Put OI is highest.
E.g., 22,000 Put with highest OI = Support zone.
✔️ Resistance:
Strike where Call OI is highest.
E.g., 22,500 Call with highest OI = Resistance zone.
This helps you create a trading range.
10. Option Chain for Intraday & Swing Trading
✅ Intraday Trading:
Watch change in OI during live market.
Spike in Call OI → Possible resistance forming.
Spike in Put OI → Possible support forming.
✅ Swing Trading:
Analyze overall OI trend.
Look at monthly expiry data.
Identify positional buildup or unwinding.
Downward Pressure Resumes After Channel BreakdownXAUUSD OANDA:XAUUSD – Downward Pressure Resumes After Channel Breakdown: Key Levels and Strategy for Today
As of the July 29 session, gold (XAUUSD) remains under short-term bearish pressure, having broken below the descending price channel on the 1H timeframe. The market structure confirms a dominant bearish trend as price continues to trade below the EMAs cluster.
1. Price Action and Market Behavior
XAUUSD is forming a clear sequence of lower highs and lower lows, confirming a short-term downtrend.
Price is currently hovering around $3,316 after breaking below the lower boundary of the channel, signaling potential continuation of the sell-off.
2. Key Resistance and Support Levels
Immediate resistance: 3,337 – 3,346 USD (aligned with EMA20, EMA50 and prior channel resistance).
Major resistance: 3,378 – 3,385 USD (confluence of Fibo and former high).
Near-term support: 3,300 USD (psychological level).
Major support: 3,248 USD (projected target based on measured move from channel height).
3. Technical Indicators
EMA20 and EMA50 are both below EMA200, forming a classic “death cross” – a strong bearish signal.
Volume increased on the breakdown, reinforcing the strength of bearish momentum.
RSI remains below 50, indicating weak bullish retracements and room for further downside.
4. Trading Strategy
Primary Strategy: Sell on Rally
Ideal entry zone: 3,331 – 3,346 USD.
Stop Loss: Above 3,353 USD (above key resistance zone).
TP1: 3,300 USD.
TP2: 3,248 USD (extended target based on breakout structure).
Alternative Strategy: Countertrend Long
Only consider buy setups if strong reversal candles and bullish RSI divergence appear near 3,248 USD.
XAUUSD continues to face downside risk after the channel breakdown. Unless bulls reclaim the 3,337 – 3,346 zone, price is more likely to drift lower toward 3,300 and potentially 3,248. Traders should remain patient and wait for clean setups around these key zones.

Options Trading Strategies: From Simple to AdvancedPart 1: The Basics of Options
Before diving into strategies, let’s review the two core types of options:
1. Call Option (CE)
Gives the buyer the right (but not the obligation) to buy an underlying asset at a predetermined price (strike price) within a specific time period.
Bullish in nature.
2. Put Option (PE)
Gives the buyer the right (but not the obligation) to sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price within a specific time period.
Bearish in nature.
Each option has a premium (price you pay to buy the option), and that’s the maximum loss a buyer can face. Sellers (or writers), on the other hand, receive the premium but take on higher risk.
Part 2: Simple Options Strategies
These are basic strategies suitable for new traders.
1. Buying a Call Option (Long Call)
When to Use: If you expect the stock/index to rise significantly.
Risk: Limited to the premium paid.
Reward: Unlimited potential profit.
Example:
Stock XYZ is trading at ₹100. You buy a 105 Call Option at ₹2 premium.
If stock moves to ₹115:
Intrinsic Value = ₹10
Profit = ₹10 - ₹2 = ₹8 per share
Why It’s Good: Cheap entry, high upside.
2. Buying a Put Option (Long Put)
When to Use: If you expect the stock/index to fall.
Risk: Limited to the premium paid.
Reward: High if stock crashes.
Example:
You buy a 95 PE when stock is at ₹100, and premium is ₹3.
If stock falls to ₹85:
Intrinsic Value = ₹10
Profit = ₹10 - ₹3 = ₹7 per share
Why It’s Good: Good for bearish bets or portfolio hedging.
3. Covered Call
When to Use: You own the stock and expect neutral to moderately bullish movement.
Risk: Limited upside potential.
Reward: Premium + stock movement (if not called away).
Example:
You own 100 shares of XYZ @ ₹100.
You sell 110 CE for ₹5.
If stock rises to ₹110, you sell at that level and keep ₹5 premium.
If it stays below ₹110, you keep the shares + premium.
Why It’s Good: Generates income from stocks you hold.
4. Protective Put
When to Use: You own a stock and want downside protection.
Risk: Limited downside.
Reward: Unlimited upside.
Example:
Own 100 shares of XYZ @ ₹100.
Buy a 95 PE at ₹3.
If stock drops to ₹85, your put becomes worth ₹10, offsetting losses.
Why It’s Good: Acts like insurance on your holdings.
Part 3: Intermediate Strategies
Once you’re comfortable with buying/selling calls and puts, it’s time to explore neutral and range-bound strategies.
5. Bull Call Spread
When to Use: You expect a moderate rise in the stock/index.
Risk: Limited.
Reward: Limited.
Structure:
Buy 100 CE at ₹5
Sell 110 CE at ₹2
Net Cost: ₹3
Max Profit: ₹10 - ₹3 = ₹7
Max Loss: ₹3
Why It’s Good: Lower cost than buying a call outright.
Part 4: Risk Management Tips
Never deploy a strategy you don’t understand.
Use stop-loss and position sizing to avoid blowing up capital.
Be aware of Greeks (Delta, Theta, Vega) — they drive profits/losses.
Avoid naked options selling unless you have enough margin and experience.
Always review IV (Implied Volatility) before placing straddles or condors.
Understand expiry effects — options lose value faster as expiry nears.
Part 5: Real-Life Example
Let’s say Nifty is trading at 22,000. You expect no major movement till expiry. You execute an Iron Condor:
Sell 22100 CE at ₹100
Buy 22300 CE at ₹40
Sell 21900 PE at ₹90
Buy 21700 PE at ₹30
Net Credit = ₹100 - ₹40 + ₹90 - ₹30 = ₹120
Max Loss = Spread width (200) - Net Credit = ₹80
If Nifty stays between 21900 and 22100 — all options expire worthless and you earn full ₹120.
Conclusion
Options trading is like a chess game — it's not only about direction, but also timing, volatility, and strategy structure. Simple strategies like buying calls and puts are perfect for starters, but intermediate and advanced strategies allow you to profit in any kind of market — bullish, bearish, or neutral.
The key lies in choosing the right strategy for the right market condition, managing risks, and being patient.
Whether you're hedging your portfolio, generating income, or speculating on big market moves, options provide the tools — but it’s your responsibility to use them wisely.
If you’d like charts, payoff diagrams, or examples using live data (like Bank Nifty or stocks), let me know and I can include those too!
