MUMBAI – Options data showed traders covered their short positions as the Nifty 50 rose Thursday, almost touching its immediate resistance of 25200 points. They also added long positions, indicating possibility of a further upside.
"The derivatives data signals a strengthening positive undertone, with aggressive put writing emerging in the latest session--bringing put positions nearly on par with call writers," said SAMCO Securities in a note. On Thursday, the Nifty 50 closed at 25181.80 points, up 0.5%.
On the call side, traders added long positions. Traders added open interest in 25400-25500 strike prices, which indicates that traders expect the index will at least reach till its strong resistance of 25500 points.
At the same time, traders continued to sell put options. The highest change in open interest on the put side was at 25000-25100 strike prices. These levels are expected to act as immediate support for the Nifty 50, indicating the index may only see minor fall in case of some profit booking.
"The migration of call positions to higher strikes and consistent put additions closer to the current price indicate a gradual bullish bias and limited downside risk," SAMCO Securities said in the note.
