TRADE SET-UP: US markets closed at record highs on Friday, led by Disney and broader industrial stocks. This signals a Value-over-Growth theme globally.

However, keep a close watch on US 10-year Treasury yields—a sharp spike there can slow easy money flows into emerging markets like India.

Gift Nifty indicates a moderate gap-up opening, but the market is still digesting the impact of the recent US–India trade deal (an 18% tariff on critical exports).

OPTIONS DATA ANALYSIS

• Heavy Call writing at 26000 — clear ceiling for the current weekly expiry

• Strong Put writing at 25500 — solid floor being actively defended

• NIFTY PCR ~0.86 — neutral stance, no extreme fear or greed

• OI concentration at 25800 Call

  • If Nifty crosses and sustains above 25820 for 30 minutes, expect short covering towards 26000

INTRADAY LEVELS

Key intraday trading levels for Nifty and Bank Nifty based on options positioning and OI structure.

BANK NIFTY VIEW

• Bank Nifty remains the real action zone

• Trading range: 60000 – 60500

• A sustained break above 60500 can act as the primary trigger for a broader market breakout

STRATEGY

• Avoid chasing the gap-up

• Let the first 30–45 minutes settle

• Trade only after confirmation, especially near 25820–25850 on Nifty

• Keep position size light if US yields remain volatile
