Outlook for September 3
Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst, LKP Securities
The Nifty failed to surpass the opening high after a positive start. Heavy call writing was observed at the 25,300 strike, and overall, call writers significantly outnumbered put writers throughout the day.
In the near term, the trend might remain sideways to negative as long as it stays below 25,300. On the lower end, however, the correction may be limited to 25,000, where significant put writing has been observed.
