Indian benchmark indices may open on a flat note today. At 8:15 am IST, SGX Nifty Futures was trading at 17,431 compared with Nifty’s close of 17,415 yesterday, indicating a muted opening for the bourses.
 
Nifty Futures – LTP 17,415
 
Nifty has breached its 50-DMA and the “head and shoulder pattern” neckline last Thursday. After the breakdown, Nifty made a low at 17,200 levels and had a sharp pullback rally on Tuesday. Nifty has been making a lower-low, lower-high price formation on the weekly chart, indicating bearish sentiment. The momentum indicator RSI and MACD trending on a downward slope indicate negative bias.
 
On the options data front, PCR for monthly contracts expiring November 25 stands at 0.58. From the OI data for monthly contracts expiring on November 25, maximum Call OI built up was seen for 18,000 strike price, followed by 17,500 strike price, which amounts to 151.83 lakh contracts and 134.35 lakh contracts, respectively. Likewise, maximum Put OI built up was seen for 17,000 strike price, followed by 17,300 strike price, which amounts to 111 lakh contracts and 81.49 lakh contracts, respectively.  
 
After considering the above points, we expect the index may remain trading volatile with negative bias. It has support at 17,300–17,250 followed by 17,000. However, from a monthly expiry perspective, the index may remain trading choppy in the range of 17,600–17,300. A breakout from either side may lead the index in the same direction for another 150–200 points gain/loss.

After considering the above technical parameters and options data, this major sectoral index is trading with a negative bias. Currently, it is trading in a broad range of 38,200–37,000. For the next one to two days, we expect it to remain trading in this range. Furthermore, the overall bias is negative in this major index.
