Technical Outlook

(Source: Fisdom research)

  • Last week, the counter achieved a weekly closing slightly above 400, the highest in several months.
  • In the short to mid-term, if the counter remains above the 370 and 350 levels, it indicates a positive outlook.
  • If the counter manages to sustain its position above 400, it may experience short covering and can attempt to achieve 420 levels. There may be a moderate hurdle around the 440 levels.
  • In the mid-term, crucial support and resistance levels for the counter are approximately 370 and 440, respectively. The overall outlook remains “Range to positive.

Open Interest Study

(Source: Fisdom research)

  • The May 2023 series began with a strong resistance level at around 400, making it a significant hurdle for derivative trading.
  • In the previous week, there was a slight decrease in open positions for the 400 Call Option, but it still acts as a hurdle, and there are existing short positions in the market. A further decrease in open positions for the 400 Call Option could result in a quick upward movement in the coming days.
  • Investors can consider employing a hedged long option strategy or opt for delivery-based buying in the cash segment for this counter.

Technical Outlook

(Source: Fisdom research)

  • From a technical standpoint, the counter has consolidated for the past three weeks, trading within a range of 640 and 700 levels.
  • As long as the counter remains above the 600 level, it maintains a “Range to positive” outlook within this range, and a breakout above the 700 level could generate renewed buying interest. It could drive the counter towards higher targets of 760 and a significant interim target of 840 levels.
  • Partial buying can be considered at current levels, and additional long positions can be added if the counter successfully sustains above the 700 level in the coming days.

Open Interest

(Source: Fisdom research)

  • The counter is seeing a significant build-up of put options (PE) at the 600-strike price, suggesting a robust short- to mid-term support level.
  • Conversely, there is a substantial accumulation of call options (CE) at around the 700 levels, indicating that if the counter manages to sustain above this level, it could trigger short-covering and generate fresh buying interest, potentially driving the counter towards the higher levels in the upcoming days.
