NIFTY50

Max call OI:25,400

Max put OI:25,300

(Ten strikes to ATM, 23 Sep expiry)

Indian benchmark indices closed the previous week with nearly 1% gains on Friday, with high volatility. However, the NIFTY50 is expected to open in deep red on Monday owing to weak global cues. The new H1B visa rules are expected to impact IT companies. In addition, the Asian markets traded mixed on Monday morning.

On the technical front, the index failed to close above 25,500 on a weekly closing basis, indicating strong selling pressure at the higher levels. With negative cues, the index is expected to remain under pressure on Monday. According to the experts, the 25,230 remains crucial support on the downside for the index.
