In our previous post we had given support levels of 8744 and 8688. Do notice, Nifty opened at 8688 close to 8680 level and managed to close the day at 8748 just a tad above 8744 support levels. In between we saw a roller coaster kind of a ride… From 140 points down in early trade to a rally of 478 points from the lows and then again a 430 point drop from the highs…

Tomorrow being a weekly expiry and also being a truncated weekly closing, it will be an interesting day. Maximum Call Option activity happened at 8900 and 9000 Strike Price. Given the activity, Nifty Level of 8986 – 9027 will hold the key for the day and looks likely to be the upper cap for expiry.
