Technical Outlook

(Source: Fisdom Research)

  • The counter’s trading is facing pressure and is currently below its mid-term resistance levels of 680-700.
  • The counter has been performing poorly for the past few months, but last week, it showed signs of a possible rebound.
  • If the counter falls towards 625 & 610, it could be an opportunity for “Contra Buying,” which means buying against the prevailing trend, aiming for potential gains at 660 & 680-700 levels.
  • Once it crosses above the 680-700 range, expect short-covering and new buying interest, which may push to higher levels in the coming weeks.

Open Interest

  • Looking at the IRCTC Aug Option Chain Study, there is strong interest from traders at the 700 & 650 Call Option Strikes, indicating resistance for buyers.
  • On the other hand, for Put Options, the highest interest is seen at the 600 & 650 Strike rates.
  • Overall, based on the Open Interest (OI) data, there seems to be a “Tug-Of-War” situation between bullish and bearish traders around the 650 levels, which could persist for the coming weeks.
  • As a conservative approach, a Bullish Long Strategy may be considered, aiming for higher levels around 660/680 initiallyTop of Form.
