Max OI

22200

22000

The highest CE OI is 22200, and the PE is at 22000 levels. This suggests that the markets are expected to revolve around these levels in the upcoming session.

Levels Worth Monitoring Tomorrow

The swift fall has halted at the major support which lies around 22000, which will continue to act as support for the upcoming expiry. Should this level fail to hold, the next level of support at 21950 will likely be tested.

On the other hand, 22170 will act as immediate resistance.
