Once again short sellers are on back foot; thus we can see a bounce in a market on every dip,” Shitij Gandhi, Sr. Research Analyst at SMC Global Securities Ltd told moneycontrol.
The 9,500-strike call has the highest open interest of 38 lakh shares followed by the 9400-strike call which has OI of over 31 lakh shares. On put side, 9000-strike put has the highest open interest of over 49 lakh shares in open interest.
“From options data, we have been seeing a shifting of range to the upper band. As per option concentration data Nifty should face resistance around 9,400-9,500 levels,” said Gandhi.
However, the market undertone is likely to remain bullish with the support of consistent FII buying and short covering. “On the technical front 9,150-9,200 spot levels is strong support zone for the Nifty and current trend is likely to continue towards 9,400-9,500,” he said.
