Amid Middle East tensions, Nifty is struggling around 25,000. Rupak De suggests a 'buy on dips' strategy above 24,850. NSE option traders will adjust strategies with expiry day changes. BSE options may capture post-policy moves better. A catch-up rally is expected in mid and smallcaps. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads As geopolitical tensions flare with the US bombing Iran and the Israel-Iran conflict deepening, nerves are fraying on Dalal Street. Yet, amid the chaos, Nifty has managed to inch above the stubborn 25,000 mark. Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, breaks down why this level matters now more than ever—and how traders should navigate the monthly expiry and beyond in these high-volatility excerpts from a chat:For the past month or so, Nifty has been struggling to decisively move past the 25,000 mark. Although it managed to close above this level on multiple occasions, the lack of follow-up buying—mainly due to the volatile geopolitical situation—kept the index oscillating around 25, from being a psychological level, heavy Call writing also acted as a resistance, capping Nifty below 25, with Nifty closing 100 points above 25,000, Call writers are feeling the pressure. Sustained trade around this level could trigger short covering in Calls, potentially leading to a further rally. On the downside, 25,000 is now expected to act as the immediate support.I believe Nifty will remain a 'buy on dips' as long as it stays above 24,850 (December 2024 high).

Monday will now act like the new Wednesday, as current weekly options will start losing value sharply from Monday itself. Tuesday, being the new expiry day, is expected to see heightened volatility—offering more opportunities for intraday Nifty weekly option traders, the fastest time decay will now occur between Friday and Monday, due to the weekend effect. As a result, option sellers may find it more favorable to initiate short positions on Friday, depending on other market conditions. For me, it will provide more room to frame strategies involving short options on forward from September contract when new expiry-day shifting comes into effect, post-policy-day moves could be better captured through BSE options, since most policy announcements (like RBI meetings) typically occur mid-week—making BSE's Thursday expiry more strategically aligned for such midcap and smallcap stocks struggled during the week, the latest daily chart closing suggests a decent catch-up rally may be on the cards in the short term, with smaller companies likely to outperform their larger counterparts.
