Markets Today - 13/8/2010 - Disclaimer Post Applies

Nifty trading at premium, higher put writing than calls at lower levels indicates strong support at lower levels especially at 5,400 and major call writing at higher levels indicates less upside. So, we believe markets to trade in a narrow range where the upside is capped at 5,500 and 5,400 maintaining a strong support for near term and 5,300 at lower end for August series.

Option Analysis:

·         Call writing: During the week call writing was witnessed between 5,800 and 5,400 where the total outstanding open interest added is 20.61 lakh shares with maximum at 5,600 CE. Whereas call shedding was witnessed at lower strikes with maximum at 5,300 of 1.57 lakh shares. Concentration is being observed at 5,600 CE of 92 lakh shares.

·         Put Writing: On the other hand, major fresh writing in puts was observed between 5,500 and 5,400 where the total outstanding open interest added is 71.5 lakh shares with maximum at 5,200 PE. Concentration is being observed at 5,300 PE of 114 lakh shares.
Implications: Strong put writing at lower levels and call writing at higher levels indicates market to trade in a narrow range for next few trading sessions. We believe market to trade in range of 5,500 and 5,400 for intermediate term and 5,600 and 5,300 for August expiry.
