24,360 (secondary support) | 24,970–25,000 (major resistance) |
Expected Move Scenarios
If opens flat to mildly positive:
- Test of 24,744–24,800 possible — if rejected here, expect profit booking down to 24,500–24,450
- RSI topping out makes this likely
If opens negative:
- 24,535 immediate watch — break of this can drag to 24,360
If breaks and sustains above 24,800:
- Will negate pullback setup and trigger momentum toward 24,900–24,970
Trade Ideas for Tomorrow
Bearish Covered Call:
Perfect timing — sell 24,800/24,900 CE or a call spread
(VIX still slightly elevated — juicy premiums)
Intraday Put Option:
If breaks 24,535 decisively in morning trade — scalp with 24,500 or 24,400 PE
Wait for Higher Breakout:
If above 24,800 with volume — cover shorts and switch to CE or long futures
Conclusion:
Bias: Mildly Bearish to Neutral unless 24,800 breaks
Pattern: Possible Double Top brewing near 24,971
Key Play: Covered call / Intraday PE on breakdown / Avoid fresh longs till 24,800 is cleared
