Indian Stock Market Prediction for the Coming Week i.e. May 13 - 17, 2024

After a good upside rally in the last month, the Indian Stock Market opened flat and we have seen a sharp decline from higher levels in the first week of May expiry.

Seems like people are booking profit in the Indian Stock Market ahead of the general election in India.

Despite this recent fall, Indian Stock Market is still holding its important support levels. Still, we have hope that bulls will dominate the market again.

Now If you look at the overall sentiments, the short-term trend looks negative and cautious atmosphere ahead of the general election outcomes.

So I suggest we should keep our positions with proper hedges and keep only fundamentally strong stocks in our portfolio.

Weekly Options Strategies in Nifty and BankNifty for the coming week

If you look at the option chain, you will find that premiums are very high. Do you know the reason?

The reason is: High Implied Volatility.

You can see India VIX has raised almost 40% in the last week. High IV brought the opportunity to create credit spreads. These credit spreads not only manage the high price fluctuation due to volatility but also help us to generate stress-free returns from the market.

Although the trend looks bearish and Nifty and BankNifty both are trading near to important support zones, I suggest we should create a neutral strategy while keeping risk on the limited side:

  • For Banknifty, We can create an iron butterfly while keeping 47500 as the max pain.
  • We can sell 47500 CE and PE and we can buy 48200 CE and 46800 PE, based on the current data.

One thing you should keep in mind is that the above trades are based on the current data and need some adjustments if data changes. So proper knowledge and understanding are required before taking entry into any position.
