Muhurat Trading 2024: Ganesh Dongre suggests this strategy to trade Bank Nifty options

Indian stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, were trading flat with a negative bias on Wednesday after witnessing a decent pullback rally in the previous two sessions. Bank Nifty today was down half a percent after a sharp 2% rally on Tuesday.

Bank Nifty traded around a critical level of 52,000, which analysts believe to be an important resistance level.

“Bank Nifty index made a strong move towards the critical resistance level at 52,000, a level that is essential for the weekly close to confirm sustained bullish momentum. The index must remain above the 52,000 resistance zone on a closing basis. A slip below 52,000, however, would indicate a shift towards bearish sentiment, prompting traders to exercise caution,” said Ganesh Dongre, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Anand Rathi.

According to him, the next key resistance points for Bank Nifty are in the 53,000 - 53,500 range, while important support is currently positioned at 50,500.
