Sharing intraday trading tips for Friday session, Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, "The positive chart pattern like higher tops and bottoms continued on the daily chart and Thursday's swing low could be considered as a new higher bottom of the sequence. A sustainable move above 18100 levels could confirm higher bottom reversal and that could open another round of upside bounce. Immediate support for NSE Nifty is placed at 17,950 levels."
"Bank Nifty has continued to witness strength and it would be the key sector to lead the near term momentum. A close below 17,950 could then lead to a profit booking and retracement of the recent upside move and hence, traders should keep stop losses accordingly on the long positions," said Ruchit Jain, Lead Research at 5paisa.com.
On Nifty call put option ratio, Shilpa Rout, Derivatives Lead Analyst at Prabhudas Lilladher said, "Nifty weekly expiry option chain witnesses PE writers actively adding their positions of more than a lakh contracts at 18000PE - over a lakh contracts, with CE writers exposure lies at 19000CE - more than a lakh contracts, followed by 18700CE. PCR_OI at 18000 is comfortably above 1, is the cushion for the BULLs going ahead."
"Bank Nifty option chain on weekly basis, reflects on PE writers standing tall at 41500 strike, with CE writers adding exposure at 42000/43000/44000 strikes- more than 40 thousand contracts each, which reflects on the limited downside and huge upside for the index."
