F&O Radar| Deploy Iron Butterfly in Nifty to gain from bullish bias amid volume spikes

Nifty holds at 26,000 and approaches a key resistance zone of 26,200. A minor profit booking or sideways consolidation is expected. Shrey Jain of SAS Online suggests a buy-on-dips strategy for the index with a broader range of 26,500-26,000 for the coming week. An Iron Butterfly strategy is recommended for neutral positioning.

Nifty now holds 26,000 and meets the confluence zone of 26,200 and the Street wonders if one could remain bullish as the reward to risk is stretched or a sensible dip can flush out weaker money to bring in momentum. The index formed a “three white soldiers” candlestick pattern on the weekly chart, which indicates a fresh momentum from the levels of 25,500 levels but after a prolonged stretch in the index, Nifty formed a small red candlestick on the daily chart ending the week on a muted note. “Index moved from contraction to expansion and a weaker close on Friday indicates a minor profit booking or sideways consolidation is on the cards,” said Shrey Jain, CEO and Founder of SAS Online.

The momentum on the higher side is indicating divergence when we notice the RSI, a momentum indicator, and breadth analysis. The number of stocks above short term key moving averages of 10-20 and 50 MA are seeing a divergence as they continue to decline. Nifty continues the uptrend on the back of buoyant cues and momentum but the confluence of levels suggests a sideways correction is much required.



The primary key resistance at 26200 is still intact while Nifty futures continue to trade on premium as well.

25 which we have seen in August, we expect volatility may spike, at present IVs point to less than a quarter of percent move,” Jain added. Shrey Jain suggests an overall strategy of buy on dips for the Index but for the coming week's expiry, the broader range for Nifty is 26,500 – 26,000. However, since a spike in volume within a range is expected, Jain suggests deploying a neutral strategy with protected wings called Iron Butterfly .

Iron Butterfly Iron Butterfly is an options trade that uses four different contracts as part of a strategy to benefit from stocks or futures prices that move within a defined range. The trade is also constructed to benefit from a decline in implied volatility. ETMarkets.
