Bank Nifty expiry day view

"The Nifty index has been much stronger than Bank Nifty, for the last couple of days, which also seems to be the case today. But looking at the wild swings since morning, it is better to plan a strategy that works on both sides, said Rahul Ghose, CEO Hedged.in.

Bank Nifty has an immediate resistance at 47,950, and support at 47,600. A break of one of these levels can take the banking index to its next immediate resistance at 48,450 or to its next immediate support at 46,980, said Rahul Ghose.

According to Sudeep Shah, DVP and Head of Technical and Derivative Research at SBI Securities, "For the day, 47,650-47,700 will act as crucial support for the index while resistance is seen at 48,100-48,150.

Any sustained rise above 48,150 will lead to a sharp upside rally up to 48,400, followed by 48,700 in the coming sessions, he said.

Expiry day strategy: Low-risk Options strategy which makes money if the Bank Nifty moves in either direction by the end of today's expiry.
