Riyank Arora, Technical Analyst at Mehta Equities, believes that Nifty has given a good breakout above its recent resistance mark of 23,411.90 and has successfully managed to close above it. "Technically, the overall structure now looks extremely bullish with potential targets of 23,500 and above. Minor support is placed near 23,350, below which the next support levels would be near 23,250 and 23,200, respectively," he said.

Strategy recommended by Arora:

On any declines, our strategy for Nifty would be to write put options below 23,250 and simultaneously sell call options above 23,550 and 23,600, creating a short strangle strategy for the upcoming weekly expiry tomorrow.
