Max OI

21500

21300


The highest CE OI is 21500, and the PE is at 21300 levels. This suggests that the markets are expected to revolve around these levels in the upcoming session.

Levels Worth Monitoring Tomorrow

While intraday longs (scalping) can be considered as the RSI has relieved from its overbought levels in the lower time frames, it is advisable to avoid carrying longs if you plan to enter now, as it doesn't make for a favourable risk-reward ratio.

It is highly recommended to tighten the stop-loss if you are holding long positions. Additionally, if the low of today’s candle is breached, we may expect the index to drag to 21200 levels.
