Nifty Derivative Outlook Today By Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Financial Services
Nifty weekly contract has highest open interest at 26250 for Calls and 26200 for Puts while monthly contracts have highest open interest at 26250 for Calls and 26200 for Puts. Highest new OI addition was seen at 26250 for Calls and 26200 for Puts in weekly and at 26250 for Calls and 26200 for Puts in monthly contracts. FIIs decreased their future index long position holdings by 14.21%, decreased future index shorts by 34.05% and in index options by 32.26% decrease in Call longs, 40.56% decrease in Call short, 30.89% decrease in Put longs and 35.95% decrease in Put shorts.
The 26060/100 region capped upsides for most part of the day and even started off with a decline from the top, all along anticipated lines. But the slippages lasted barely a few moments, and the run up in the closing hour took off with such a ferocity that even our medium term objective 26600 stood a fair chance to be achieved on the same day. Bringing the participant wise figures into perspective, FIIs covered 34% of their shorts yesterday from their index future portfolio, that atleast partly explains the strength. Now, this takes up their long proportion to 79.9%, a near term extremity. Last expiry also panned out under similar circumstances, albeit with a lower OI count. And it took three days of moderate gains post expiry, for a substantial decline to unfold. For the day, an open above 26200 will render the trend unstable calling for falls to 26020, while an open within 26200-170 could lend a consolidation bias that could extend yesterday’s upsides. Alternatively, direct fall below 26130 could dilute upside momentum.
