  6. Nifty future premium came down significantly and traded only about 10 points premium.
  7. Later in the day, premiums have shot up.
  8. HDFC Bank was the star of the day, hit all time high.
  9. But Bank Nifty did not perform well due to PSU Banks.
  10. State Bank fell almost Rs 10 from intraday high.
  11. Nifty future has shot up 400 points in last 7 trading sessions.
  12. So it may be time for some consolidation.
  13. I was holding some long positions in SGX Nifty.
  14. I closed those positions, I made about US$28000 on an investment of US$50000, more than 50% return.
  15. Option premiums in January series are very low.
  16. But I am expecting a trending month in January.
  17.  Hedging with options is difficult in low Vix environment.
  18. So decided to close all future positions.
  19. Yesterday Reliance and HDFC Bank supported the market.
  20. FIIs have bought for Rs 1836 crores in Cash market.
  21. Both Nifty 12200PE and CE added huge OI.
  22. The combines premium is about Rs 70.
  23. So Nifty will have to expire between 12130 and 12270 for this straddle to make some money.
  24. Since Nifty shot up by about 400 points in last 7 trading sessions, profit booking is not ruled out on expiry day.
  25. But positive Global cues, huge buying by FIIs will limit the downside.
  26. yesterday when Tata group news broke out, Nifty fell 30 points but shot up by the same amount within few minutes.

  30. Nifty future may trade between 12180 and 12300.
  31. Expect a sharp move towards the end of the day.
