Jun21-W2: Nifty Index 5- to revert to mean this week (Jun7 to Jun11)?
Beginning last Monday with a high range bullish candle, Nifty continued its upward momentum. In such a scenario, my target for Nifty was 15650 but it even breached 15700. I can’t complain much as it is always tough to give a target when skies are clear. And well, Nifty did close the week at 15650 anyway.
Now, here’s what I am looking at:
I now have a hard bias for mean reversion as this is the kind of setup wherein I like to sell call options. It is entirely possible for Nifty to go above red trend line but that would be a fake breakout. My target for now is the green rectangle around 15450.
Thus, scenarios for the week ahead (highlighted as yellow box in chart)…
| Scenario | Probability | Anticipated Price Action |
| Consolidation | Med | Between 15600 and 15850 |
| Downtrend | High | If breach below 15600; to drop till 15450 |
| Uptrend | Low | If breach above 15850; to rise but not by much |
The daily ATR of Nifty has been declining steadily and may bottom out in a couple of weeks. Low ATR is a pain for option sellers as they make safe money but not much money. Things shall become interesting when ATR turns its head upward again.
