Bank Nifty Futures

The Bank Nifty May Futures (47,910) contract seems to be stuck in between 47,800 and 48,200. It is now currently near the lower end of the range at 47,910. A breakout on either side of 47,800-48,200 is needed to get clarity on the next move.

A break below 47,800 will be bearish to see 47,500-47,400 on the downside. On the other hand, a break above 48,200 will be bullish for rise to 48,400-48,600.

Trade Strategy

Traders can wait for the 47,800-48,200 to breakout. Trades can then be taken accordingly on in the direction of the breakout. We expect the range to break on the downside.

So, go short on a break below 47,800. Keep a stop-loss at 47,920. Trail the stop-loss down to 47,760 as soon as the contract falls to 47,710. Move the stop-loss further down to 47,630 when the contract touches 47,570. Exit the shorts at 47,460.
