Metal, Media and FMCG stocks traded with positive sentiments through the day whereas, pharma and IT stocks witnessed pressure on Friday session. Nifty bank closed at 31,241.80 adding 226.79 points from the previous day’s closing.
As per weekly option data, huge put writing on lower strikes ranging from 12,000 to 12,200 is observed which shows Nifty is witnessing strong support in the sub-12,200 zones. Market is likely to trade in range of 12,200 to 12,300 until 12,300 level is not breached, as it holds highest call OI in January monthly series. Traders should try to buy at dips keeping close eye on 12,200 level as it holds second highest put OI for the weekly expiry after 12,200 strike. However, if nifty is able to breach level of 12300, it might lead to short covering move up to 12,350.
