Sectorally, action was seen in BFSI, pharma and technology stocks whereas profit taking was seen in FMCG and auto stocks. Nifty futures ended at a premium of 3 points with a fall in IVs by 2.5%. The major Put base is at 10000 strike with almost 30 lakh shares while the major Call base is at the 10300 strike with almost 25 lakh shares.
Bank Nifty
Outperformance was clearly visible in banking stocks, which led the Bank Nifty to reclaim 21000. IndusInd Bank was the leader whereas Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and midcap banks also witnessed short covering. Looking at the OI in ATM and near OTM Calls, we feel upsides is limited. However, on the downside, 20500, 20000 remain strong supports.
