Banknifty Futures Trade setup and Plan -week 30 July

Review and Recap:

BNF: Last week scenario II was to trade breakout above 27150 zone to test 27500 range, it went there and higher than that as well, testing yearly highs and beyond it.

Observations:

Challenge is prices have moved far off the vwap levels, and whenever it does a rotation towards vwap or consolidation is a better risk reward scenario, I have marked two times when that has happened recently

Trade Plan:

I.Prices manage to respect 27570 zones and we continue to move higher to test 27900 levels- which is a retracement of last weeks range and then look to trade a pullback from there. 

II.A move below 27570 range to test the levels of 27450- if that holds and markets pullback we are in for some up move more.

III.In continuation of scenario II preferable scenario is a move into the shaded zone of 27330-27250 range and look to trade a pullback from there, and that is the favored scenario this week.

IV.A contrarian scenario is markets to completely retrace this move and go on to test 27150-100 range all over again. Scenario has to be anyway tested first before that.

BANKNIFTY Futures trade set up and plan- coming sessions

Banknifty futures continue to trade within the range created on the 1^st week of june, that’s five weeks in a row, so much so that now a weekly plan almost looks like a daily plan from the range point of view.

But as a trader these are the times you need to continue to stay foot and don’t get complacent about positions and keep the plan going .

Coming back to the charts, Banknifty continue to trade and create value within the 38.2% - 78.2% retracement of the range. So until we get a confirmed close outside the range its best to trade a pullback to the range zones. There are two zones within this range that has good volumes 26540 on the higher side and 26360 on the down side. So here are the few trading scenarios coming to this week.

Trade plan scenarios:

1. Primary hypothesis remains to trade back within the range, despite gap up or gap downs. In case the chart set up support.  So on the upside until 26640 is breached look for a pullback to 26540, 26380 levels. And on the downside look for a pull back to 26360 levels  until 26150 hold
2. Trade a break out of 26640 to test  26790 and higher levels.
3. Trade a break down below 26160 to test 26980 , 26850 zones.

My own bias still remains on the short side , that essentially means I will be careful with positions size on the long side and be more aggressive with the position size on the down side if a short opportunity looks viable.

BANKNIFTY Set up & Trade Plan for Week Starting 25jun

BNF: Last week ,  Played out all 3 scenarios that we laid out, a test near 26150, consolidation and 26300 levels and a upward test for 26800 levels.

BNF continues to trade within the trading range formed on the 1st week of June. Testing the 78.2 % retracement, from there an upward push up to 27000, 27350 zones is a possibility. On the downside 26480-580 will support immediate support and a move below will be a good zone to test for a downward push

Now we could play out the below  scenarios  for next week

I.Continue upwards to test 27000, 27350 zones or higher, but given OI accumulation at 27000 I will be cautious for this scenario.

II.Move below 26750 and test the zones of 26580-480.

III.A break below 26350 to try and test 26150 and lower levels. Again at this point a break of 26100 looks difficult this week based on month end OI

BANKNIFTY Setup and Trade Plan Week Starting 21May

Banknifty bucked the trend for the past few weeks, indicating a potential near term top
formation in the charts. This weeks most traded volume at 26450 will mark a significant
resistance zone and should be the range for the intermediate top ; i.e. to mean if we hold
the theory that markets have marked a top here, this level got to be respected, else the
hypothesis falls flat.

The downside was arrested late hours on Friday , when markets took  support at an
intermediate levels, and until we break below 25650 zones we are likely to see some
consolidation and short term pullback possibly as well. This also coincides with NF, which
found a base near prev zone of 10560 levels.Now we could play out the below 3 scenarios
and plan my trade as per that-
I.pull back to test the 26050-26100 zones and keep within the range of 26150-26750 in coming sessions
II. pullback to the range of 26050-26150 and manage to breakthrough to test 26450 and higher again
III.Break through below 25750 and and test 25320 zones.

I would try and potentially trade a short term pullback as that offers a lower risk reward if we get a

favorable set up , or /and look for a pause and turn around from the 26050-26150 zones towards the
downside. Overall at higher levels keep a bias of short on rise to test the weekly lows and lower
levels of 26500-350 zones , this until 26450 is cleared.

Banknifty Set up Profile and Trade Plan Week 16Apr -2018

Banknifty marked a major consolidation in terms of the smallest weekly range on the weekly charts.

A quick recap of the previous week shows that the low marked couldn’t even get into the previous week’s value area, indicating that buyers emerged aggressively in dips. This resulted in the value area shifting higher as well significantly.

This indicates that the coming week will continue to be a consolidation zone with an upward bias for the traders.  The Banknifty PCR remains at 1.45 and the max pain at 25100. Support is likely to emerge in any dips to 25000-24940 zones and should see buyers emerging until markets cracks below that levels or breaks 24850.

On the upside resistance will be seen @ 25540-25600 zones and should see pull backs from there. Until the marked range in green and red doesn’t break in the below volume profiles charts we should see markets consolidate and set up base for the next direction.
