Sell The Spike. Buy The Dip. Sensex Holds 76000 Expiry Day

oday is the rare combo. Sensex monthly expiry and Sensex weekly expiry stack on the same session. And tomorrow the market is closed. Yesterday afternoon something quiet happened on the chain. Pro took profit.

Cold Open | Sensex Monthly And Weekly Same Session Plus A Closed Day Tomorrow

Today is a stacked day. Sensex monthly expiry. Sensex weekly expiry. Same session. Same strike pulling both chains at once. And tomorrow the market is closed. Asia opened hot overnight. KOSPI ripped 3.93 percent. Taiwan plus 2.57. Nikkei plus 1.25. The US closed at fresh records again. And yet GIFT Nifty is sitting flat at 23888 down 25 points. So why is India not joining the party. The answer is in the chain. The double magnet at 76000 is pulling harder than a normal week and the holiday gap is being pre paid in the wings.

S&P 500 closed 7519. Fresh all time high. Nasdaq 26656 plus 1.19 percent. Also fresh high. Dow futures plus 56 at 50518. Three sessions of US records in a row. Iran ceasefire framework is the driver. Europe was mixed Tue close. FTSE plus 0.24. CAC minus 1.04. DAX minus 0.81. Europe is not the engine here. US and Asia are. Brent crude is 98.86 dollars. Fourth straight session sub 100. WTI 92.92.

Segment 2 | Three Desks Three Stories Pro Booked FII Defended Client Got Greedy

Three desks did three different things yesterday. Pro, FII, Client. Watch each one. Pro came in plus 40432 net long futures. Closed at minus 6320. A 46752 contract reversal in one session. They cut 113029 long calls. Added 46642 fresh long puts. Three legs flipped same session. Futures bear. Calls cut. Puts stacked. The cleanest profit take pattern S2 has seen.

Segment 3 | The Double Magnet At 76000 Wall At 76500 And Floor At 75000

Start at the top. Strike 77500 picked up 128000 fresh short calls. 77000 picked up 132000 fresh shorts. Lottery tickets. They do not move spot. Strike 76500 picked up 128000 fresh short calls in one session. Total OI 1.56 million contracts. The biggest single line of fresh adds on the May series. The wall. Resistance zone 76300 to 76500. Strike 76000 is the magnet. Call OI 985000. Put OI 1.14 million. Combined 2.13 million contracts on one strike. Monthly chain and weekly chain agree on this line. Sensex closed yesterday 76009. Ten points above the magnet. Below the magnet 76200 and 76300 puts…

Segment 4 | Two Story Tension IV Crush Versus Holiday Open Spike

Two stories collide today. Story one. The IV index for this expiry already crushed 10.21 percent pre open. From 16 to 14.36. The internal screener flipped to Sell IV. Calm. Pin. Premium decays. Story two. Tomorrow is closed. Writers cannot earn theta on a closed day. So they ask for extra premium at the open. The IV could pop briefly in the first 30 to 60 minutes before crushing again. Both stories are right. They play at different times. The morning spike is the sellers opportunity. Not a regime change. Just the holiday gap getting priced. Then the magnet pulls.

Segment 5 | Three Branch Trade Plan Pin Day Base Case 65 Percent

If Sensex opens above 76200, that is breakout. Walk into 76500 long. The wall has 128000 fresh shorts defending. Most close on approach. 76200 to 76500 is the carry trade. If Sensex opens between 75900 and 76100, that is the pin day. Base case 65 percent weighted. Buy dips into 75900. Sell calls 76300 to 76500 into the morning vol pop. Hedge with 75500 puts at 88 rupees. Almost free given the closed day risk. Carry to settle. If Sensex opens below 75800, that is failure. Fade rallies to 76100. Floor 75500 first then 75000. Use the 75000 put cluster as cover.

Segment 6 | Bank Nifty 55090 May Done And New Nifty June 24000 Magnet

Bank Nifty settled 55090 yesterday. May monthly done. The June future already trades 55457 with 500 points premium to cash. Real money rolled into June. Buy dips Bank Nifty at 55000. Bank Nifty is the biggest driver into June series. The new Nifty June series opens today. The 24000 strike has 9.92 lakh combined contracts of OI. Biggest single stacked strike in three months. The chain wants to settle there across the holiday gap. 24000 is the magnet for the next two to five sessions.

CTA Close | Education On Double Pull And RupeeCase Nifty Day One Plus 71 BPS

When two expiries stack on the same strike, the pull at that strike is roughly double a normal session. Add a closed day and hedges have to reprice once at the open. The IV crush we are pricing pre open does not skip the open spike. It just comes back to crush right after. RupeeCase Nifty 10 picked up 71 basis points yesterday. Day one since Monday rebalance. Nine of ten stocks beat the Nifty. NESTLEIND plus 1.06. ONGC plus 0.89. ADANIPORTS plus 0.46. The framework picked up the rotation. Streaming live on rupeecase.com. Sell the spike. Buy the dip.

This is The Tanmay Edge. You are listening to episode 48. I am Tanmay Kurtkoti. Let's go. A very good morning guys. Today is a stacked day. Sensex monthly expiry, Sensex weekly expiry. Same session, same strike pulling both chains at one. And tomorrow the market is closed. Asia has opened hot overnight. KOSPI ripped 3.93 percent, Taiwan plus 2.57 percent, Nikkei plus 1.25 percent, the US closed at fresh record again and yet GIFT Nifty is sitting flat at 23,888, down 25 points. So why is India not joining the party? The answer lies in the option chain. Let me show you what I am seeing right now. Starting with the offshore overlay. S&P 500 closed 7519. Fresh all-time highs. NASDAQ 26,656 plus 1.19 percent also fresh highs. Dow futures is positive 56 points. The US tech rip is real and it kept running last night. Iran ceasefire framework is the driver. Three sessions of US records in a row. Europe was mixed Tuesday's close. FTSE plus 0.24, CAC was minus 1.04, DAX was minus 0.81. Europe is not the engine. US and Asia are. And on the commodities front, the peace pivot is still extending. Brent crude is still below that 98, 98.86, below that $99 mark. Fourth straight session sub 100. WTI is trading at 92.92. Both technically bearish now. Gold is flat at 4518 dollar per ounce. Silver gave back another 5000 to 6000 rupees on MCX. On currencies, the dollar index is at 99.09, drifting weak. The rupee weakened 44 paisa yesterday to 95.68. That is the one piece that does not match the global risk on tape. INR remains the lone red flag for India. Rest all is positive. So you have US at records. Asia is ripping. Oil is sub 100. Gold is soft. INR is weak. GIFT Nifty is flat. The disconnect is local. The chain knows why. Three desks did three different things yesterday on Sensex expiry. Pro, FII and Client. Watch each one one of them and listen to it carefully. Pro is the smart money. They came into yesterday with plus 40,432 net long futures. They closed at minus 6320. That is fla…
