Monday market may open on flat note as SGX Nifty at 11314 (-14). Nifty remained at crucial support level of 11,300 on closing basis but Nifty tried to close below this levels 3 times in last week but failed to close below this levels which is a sign that we have already made the bottom. After losing around 8 percent in a month, the market looks oversold hence the pull back rally could be extended in the coming session, but confirmation of same is possible only if the index closes decisively above 11,350 level because overall sentiment still remains in favor of bears. India VIX moved down to 12.16 from 12.51 levels in the last week. On the options front, maximum Call open interest (OI) is at 11,400 followed by 11,300 strike while maximum Put OI is at 11,200 followed by 11,300 strike. Current option data shows a broad trading range between 11,200 to 11,500 levels on the Nifty. On lower side if Nifty crucial support at 11,200 levels, on the higher side immediate hurdle is at 11,350. Nifty has to sustain above strong hurdle of 11,350 for upside and we may see 11,500.
Data shows we may see upside above 11,350 in coming week. So traders are advised to take fresh buy position above 11,350 then we may see nifty rally till 11,500.
