  • In the September Option Chain analysis, there’s a “Tug of War” going on around the 1000 level between the “Bulls” and the “Bears.”
  • As long as the counter maintains its position above 1000 levels, it’s considered to be in an “Range to up” trend, and the next significant open interest obstacles are at 1020 and 1100 strikes. Overall, the short-term outlook is leaning towards an “Range to up” bias.

  • In the short term, the stock is expected to trade within a specific range. However, if it manages to stay above 150, it could attract new buyers and trigger short-covering, potentially leading to higher levels in the coming weeks.
