Weekly Analysis, Strategies and Trend for December 18–22, 2023 - The WeeklyTrade

Hello Guys, I hope you are doing well. If you are following me, you know that I have shared this weekly newsletter that covers weekly analysis and option strategies for the coming week 3 years ago.

I have been writing this newsletter continuously for the last 3 years. In 2023, I have published fewer newsletters due to personal commitments. But I'm committed to sharing whatever I have learned so far. So I'm starting this newsletter again.

I'm making some changes in this newsletter. Adding a few more data points and removing a few too. But my whole intention is to provide a clear picture of the market so that we can make some better decisions in the coming week.

This is the advanced version of our previous weekly articles. I have divided this newsletter into four parts. Every part is full of valuable information, but as you know, nothing is perfect, so your valuable feedback is highly appreciated.

Without wasting your time, Let’s start with our part segment, i.e. Weekly Market Outlook

Once again, Indian markets remained volatile in the week gone by and settled higher as we saw buying interest in most of the sectors, especially mid-caps and small caps.

FIIs are the net buyers throughout this December month. Bought more than 18000 cr equity in this this week itself. Which is good sign for the whole market.

If you look at the chart, you can clearly see that Nifty is in complete uptrend and there is no sign of any weakness. So don't take any contra trade here.

Based on Fibonacci Extension tool, 21488.50 is acting as the immediate resistance that Nifty has hit on Friday. Now if Nifty manage to sustain above in the coming week, then we may see the next target of 22210 in the near term.

So plan your trades accordingly. I suggest, don't take any contra trade here and follow the trend.

Important levels for coming week:

  • Immediate Support levels are: 20920 & 20520

The setup we seen on chart, looks completely bullish and the buying we saw on Friday, indicates some more upside levels in the coming week.

Based on option chain data, the highest open interest stands at 21500 CE and 21300 PE, followed by 21700 CE and 212200 PE. The PCR of all strikes is 1.1, which indicates a neutral market. PCR at 21200 stands at 3.3, which is acting as an immediate support level.

The put-call ratio at 21700 stands at 0.05, which is acting as a resistance level. Equally, the important indicator “Options Pain” is at 21300, indicating weekly expiry at 21300. A shift in option pain will provide further levels.

Significant open interest buildup on the PUT sides indicates that Nifty is getting good support from lower levels and expected to go higher in the coming week. 

Based on option chain data, 21700 and 21800 are acting as good resistance levels. On the other hand 21300 & 21200 are acting as good resistance levels for coming expiry.
