On the weekly chart, the index touched a rising channel connecting lows (9,959-10,558) and highs (10,929-11,495). After forming a ‘Small Bodied’ candlestick on the weekly chart, the index has seen a gap-down opening on the daily chart as well.

If the market starts to trade below 11,340 levels, we expect profit-booking towards 11,200-11,170 levels, which is a major support level. On the upside, a break above 11,415 levels can see the index test 11,500 levels. In Nifty options, maximum put open interest is placed at 11,000 strike, followed by 11,200 strike. For calls, the same is placed at 11,500 strike.

Call writing was seen in 11,400 and 11,500 strike, while unwinding was seen in 11,400 and 11,300 puts. Some writing was seen in 11,200 put, suggesting support at 11,200 and resistance at 11,500. India VIX closed at 13.4 and is seeing consolidation at lower levels. A break above 13.5 could lead to profit-booking in the market.
