Both Nifty and BankNifty are displaying bullish patterns on the charts, indicating potential upside momentum. However, there’s a critical concern—Call Option (CE) premiums are not favorable at the moment.

As an intraday trader, this poses a challenge: even if the index moves up, premium decay or weak pricing can eat into potential profits.


Key Warning: BankNifty Futures Must Close Above 49,000

For those looking to trade the upside, caution is necessary! BankNifty futures need to decisively close above 49,000 to confirm a safe upward move. Without this confirmation, upside trades carry risk.


Actionable Advice for Traders

Avoid aggressive longs until premiums stabilize
Monitor BankNifty’s closing levels carefully
Patience is key—wait for a clear breakout


Possible Scenarios:

  1. If BankNifty closes above 49K (futures) → Market could continue its bullish momentum. Upside trades become safer.
  2. If it fails to cross 49K convincingly → Expect some consolidation or even a dip, as bullish strength might weaken.
  3. Premiums indicate cautious sentiment → This could signal a lack of strong buying conviction, meaning a pullback is possible.

Verdict:
Decline is possible if BankNifty keeps rejecting 49K. Weak CE premiums also suggest traders aren’t pricing in aggressive upside. But unless we see a strong breakdown, expect range-bound moves rather than a sharp fall.

Would wait for price action confirmation before committing to downside trades.
