WHAT LIES AHEAD : NEAR-TERM PICTURE
SPOT NIFTY : The Nifty50 index, after registering gains for the third consecutive session on Wednesday, witnessed a brutal fall on Thursday. This was the sharpest single-day decline in the index since June 2024. The fall was mainly triggered by a spike in crude oil prices and a sharp decline in private Banking heavyweights HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank.

The index closed at the 23,002 level, and on an Intraday basis, it declined below the March 17 low and almost filled the gap area of April 15. The Nifty registered a fresh distribution day. The volume in rupee terms was also higher and remained above average. The index is now 8.23 per cent below the 50 DMA and 8.79 per cent below the 200 DMA. The Nifty erased all the gains of the last three days.

The RSI has slipped back below the 30 zone. The MACD histogram shows an increase in bearish momentum. The ADX at 37.46 indicates complete bear control over the trend. The Nifty has declined 12.95 per cent from its recent high. The fall has been sharp both in terms of time and price.

The current structure suggests that any bounce should be seen as a fresh opportunity to exit long positions. In any case, a close below 22,920 may trigger further selling pressure and the index may test 22,770, which is the measured target of the breakdown from the rectangle pattern. For a counter-trend consolidation, the index must close above 23,378 with stronger volumes. Stay away from bottom fishing until there are clear signs of base formation.

NIFTY DERIVATIVES: After closing at 23,639.15 last Thursday, Nifty continued to witness selling pressure during the week and ended today’s session at 23,002.15. The index extended its downtrend, reflecting persistent weakness in broader market sentiment. On a weekly basis, Nifty declined nearly 2.69 per cent, or 637 points. ATM Implied Volatility (IV) surged further from last week’s 22.56 to 28.71, indicating a sharp escalation in option premiums amid heightened uncertainty. India VIX also inched higher from 21.51 to 22.80, sustaining elevated volatility levels. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) for the upcoming weekly expiry remained largely unchanged, moving marginally from 0.6978 to 0.6996, and continues to stay in the oversold region.

For the coming weekly expiry, total call open interest stands at 18,56,745 contracts, while total put open interest is at 13,29,000 contracts. Among the call options, Deep OTM strike 25,000 carries the highest open interest at 1,30,926 contracts, followed by the 24,000 with 1,05,728 and strike 24,500 with open interest at 94,935 contracts, respectively. On the put side, Deep OTM strike 21,000 has the highest open interest at 1,34,910 contracts, followed by the strike 23,000 with 1,03,904 contracts and strike 22,000 with 89,014 contracts. The Max Pain level for the upcoming expiry is positioned at 23,000.
