Trading Plan for 29-Oct-2024

1. Gap Up Opening (200+ points above)
   
   If Bank Nifty opens with a 200+ points gap up, it is likely to encounter resistance around the 51,478 level, marked as the Last Resistance for Intraday. If prices sustain above this level, we may see an upward movement towards the Profit Booking Zone / Sideways Zone between 51,955 - 52,160. However, if it fails to break this resistance, expect potential retracement towards the Opening Support at 51,080.
   
   – If selling pressure builds, Bank Nifty may pull back further to retest 50,985 as an additional support level.
   
   
   
2. Flat Opening (within 100 points of the previous close)
   
   With a flat opening, monitor the first 30 minutes for price action clarity. If Bank Nifty trades above 51,478 after initial consolidation, it could signal a bullish push toward 51,955. A breakout above this resistance might lead the price to test the upper bounds near 52,160. Conversely, if it struggles to hold above 51,478, a sideways or slight bearish trend might develop towards 51,080.
   
   – Any dip below 51,080 may attract additional selling pressure, possibly pushing prices towards the Pending Buyer’s Order Zone around 50,638.
   
   
   
3. Gap Down Opening (200+ points below)
   
   In a gap-down scenario, focus on 50,985 as a crucial support level. If Bank Nifty maintains this level, it might attempt to rebound towards 51,478. A successful move above 51,478 could bring sideways to bullish action up to 51,955. If, however, the index breaks below 50,985, expect it to test the Pending Buyer’s Order Zone at 50,638, a key level for potential trend reversals.
   
   – Failure to hold at 50,638 may lead to further bearish momentum.

Summary and Conclusion
Today, the primary levels to watch are 51,478 as the last intraday resistance and 50,985 as key support. A break beyond these levels could determine the market's directional bias. Adopting a flexible strategy and monitoring early price action can provide valuable insights for effective entries.
