On option front, Maximum Call OI is at 25000 then 24500 strike while Maximum Put OI is at 24000 then 24500 strike. Call writing is seen at 24200 then 24900 strike while Put writing is seen at 24000 then 24200 strike. Option data suggests a broader trading range in between 23300 to 25300 zones while an immediate range between 23800 to 24800 levels.

Nifty closed at 24334 zones and At The Money Straddle (September Monthly 24350 Call and 24350 Put) is trading at net premium of around 575 Points, giving a broader range of 23775 to 24925 levels. Considering overall derivatives activity, we are expecting Nifty to trade with strength in the September series as long as it manages to hold above the psychological 24K marks. Positional support can be seen at 23800 then 23500 zones while a hold above 24000 zones could take the index towards 24750 then 25000 zones.

Market activity in the August series remained largely sector specific as the benchmark indices lacked any major directional move. Despite limited movement in the broader indices, selective sectors continued to outperform highlighting strong sector rotation within the market. Outperformance was clearly visible in Defence, Metal and Capital Market stocks while selective buying interest was also seen in Auto & Auto Ancillary, Realty and Hotel stocks. On the other hand, FMCG and Banking remained the key laggards underperforming the broader market

India VIX decreased by 7.65% from 12.56 to 11.07 levels in the August series. It cooled off below 9.5 levels and paved way for support based buying at any minor dips.

Nifty holds gains, eyes breakout above 24500 zones for a fresh leg of rally

Nifty index began the August series on a positive note and witnessed buying interest in the initial week after which it remained volatile for the rest of the expiry but managed to sustain above the previous expiry levels. Initially it moved towards 24800 zones where it faced resistance before stabilising near 24000 zones and support based buying emerged. On an expiry-to-expiry basis Nifty formed a bullish candle with an upper shadow, suggesting positive bias remained intact at lower levels while supply was seen at higher levels. A decisive follow up buying above the crucial 24500 zones would resume its upward momentum.

In the August series, open interest increased by 1.5% while the index rose by 1.5% on an expiry-toexpiry basis indicating long built up in the index. Rollover of Nifty stood at 77.4%, which is higher than the quarterly average of 76.5%.
