What should traders do? Here’s what analysts said:
Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst at LKP Securities
Nifty exhibited significant strength, securing a notable breakout on the daily chart as it surpassed the key resistance level of 21,800. This bullish move positions the index for potential short-term targets of 22,000 and 22,200. Traders are advised to consider buying opportunities on any dips toward the support level.

Nifty opened gap-up and traded with a positive bias throughout the day to close with gains of ~260 points. On the daily charts, we can observe that the Nifty has decisively broken out of the 21,500 – 21,850 range on the upside. The breakout suggests a resumption of trending moves on the upside. We expect the index to target levels of 22,000 immediately and above that 22,300. On the downside, the zone of 21,750 – 21,700 shall act as an immediate support as per the role reversal principle.

Strong put writing (bulls’ entry) was observed at 21,700 & 21,800 strikes in Nifty. Strong put writing at a particular strike price is usually considered as a sign of resistance getting weaker. The bulls dethroned the bears from 21,800 strikes in Nifty. The option activity at 22,000 strike will provide cues about Nifty’s intraday direction on Monday. The resistance for Nifty shifts to 22,500 level from 21,800 level after Friday’s close.
