Nifty Futures Still in Neutral Territory !
- Although Nifty futures have made losses in the last two days of the week, the contract never breached the 5400 support area.
- Friday's trading has again lead to the formation of another doji candle indicating indecision by the market participants.
- The contract is still trading in a technically neutral area from where it can move either way.
- The market may even keep on trading in a trading range for some more time as envisaged in many previous posts, before trying to breakout either way. ( Please see the shaded area as being the previously indicated preferred trading area and pointed out in many previous posts.)
- As far as the market and Nifty futures are trading in a trading range, most analysis would go awry and would be of no use.
- As such, this author is forced to make no further market commentaries in this post. However all the usual charts, data and trading system updates are appended.

Nifty Options Scene
The March series Nifty Options Put Call ratio ( PCR ) decreased slightly to close at 1.33 times on Friday. The India VIX index gained by 2.55 % following the losses and closed at 24.13. The 5700, 5500 and 5600 strikes have kept their positions as the strikes with the highest level of March Nifty Call OI as on Friday. The corresponding strikes for Put OI are 5400, 5300 and 5200. This data may be indicating the possibility of an immediate trading range between 5300 and 5700. The implied volatility of Nifty options as indicated by the India VIX has been hovering in the 20 plus mark for some time even as the market is generally trading range bound. It seems that the improvement in India VIX and the neutral nature of the markets are leading to a situation where the option writers are taking it as a field day for writing straddles and strangles.
