As per current derivative data, the Nifty can move towards 11,200-11,220 levels this week as the market undertone remains bullish. We expect the bullish scenario to continue with the index having multiple supports at lower levels around 11,100 and 11,050 spot.

Options writers were seen active in the recent rally as we have seen put writing in 11,100 and 11,000 strikes along with the call unwinding.

On the technical front, Nifty has a strong support at 11,100-11,080 spot levels. The current trend is likely to continue towards 11,200-11,220 in the expiry week.
