 Markets Ahead for the Week What happened? Though it seemed like a massive sell off, observing the Monthly candles especially in Banknifty, clearly shows that it is just a pause and not a confirmation of a bearish market.  In fact, It seems as though the bullish momentum may continue. Last two weeks were very volatile. The previous weekly candle shows aggressive selling from the higher levels. The last week candle shows buying pressure happening from the lower levels. What to expect? I expect the next week to be a sideways market and thus expect a pause candle, since the previous two weeks have given momentum on either side. How am I planning? Since I see a stiff resistance at higher levels, 40500 for BNF and 17500 for nifty, I would wait for opportunities to short these calls and would wait for Theta Decay. If by any chance, the markets make a swift higher moves, I may convert these positions into Straddle or Strangle based on the momentum. And always, all these trades would ...

  MARKETS - ARE GETTING READY FOR A BIG TREND Today, the markets were moving sideways without making a huge move on either side. It could be seen as a consolidation happening at the lower levels but very CRUCIAL levels. What can happen next? I feel the next two days are very crucial and a good breakout or breakdown can happen.  Something is brewing. Be ready! Nifty is trading in a narrow range between 17100 to 16950 levels. If the market is moving sideways for one more day, then the Expiry day can be a very trending day.  If Nifty tests 17100 levels tomorrow or on Expiry day, and holds it for sometime, I guess we need to be ready for an upward trend. It would mean a true Expiry for the Short sellers! If Nifty hovers around the lower levels, then the possibility of a breakdown is high. But I would not expect a huge trend on the downside. This I feel is because Buying pressure is seen at the lower levels and already the Short sellers are in good profit and would look to exi...

THE TRADING DAY THAT KEPT ME ON MY TOES Today was a day of trading that kept me quite watchful and busy. The market did open gap down and was bearish as expected.  My position was in a decent profit right at the open. Then why was I on my toes (a bit nervous) ?? Because markets had reached a crucial level - Nifty @ 17000, which was a fall of almost 1000 points from 17950 levels.  Sometimes, the markets do turn aggressively bullish when you least expect it. And the round figures sometimes act as the trigger. Though the position was in a decent profit, I could not sit relaxed as most of the gains could be lost in thin air within a short time even before you realise something is happening against us. Nifty after touching 17k, crossed it on the lower side. I got more bearish and executed some bearish trades. Immediately, it bounced back and started to recover some points, bringing me into a high adrenaline mode.  I was already calculating the stoploss for the new trades and h...

 WHY I START A BLOG? INTRODUCTION I have been a youtube content creator for sometime with a reasonable number of audience who have been extremely supportive of my work. I am basically a dentist by profession based in the Chennai metro of TamilNadu.
