Trade Set-Up: The global backdrop remains shaky. A strengthening US Dollar Index (DXY) is weighing on emerging markets like India. US markets closed in the red overnight (Dow down ~0.8%, S&P 500 down ~0.2%).
US Treasury yields are rising, prompting FIIs to pull money from risk assets. While Asian markets are largely flat, India VIX is creeping higher — signaling rising caution. This is not a “buy the dip” market, but one where capital protection is key.

Key intraday levels: Nifty & Bank Nifty.
Options & Data Analysis:
NIFTY:
Massive Call writing seen at 25800–25900, acting as immediate resistance
Put support remains thin below 25600
If 25600 breaks, next major support lies near 25450
BANK NIFTY:
Heavy resistance placed near 60000
Support band shifting higher towards 59400–59200
One Big Watch-Out:
Today is Infosys Q3 results day, which could dictate IT sector momentum and influence Nifty’s second-half direction.
Market Structure View:
The market remains in a sell-on-rise / consolidate phase. Strength should be used to lighten positions near resistance, while aggressive longs should be avoided.
