SBI Option Chain Analysis
The option chain indicates a defined trading range between Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 1,040. Call Open Interest is concentrated at Rs. 1,040, while meaningful Put Open Interest is visible at Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 1,010.
Call writing at higher strikes suggests that traders do not expect an immediate, unrestricted recovery. Put writing near the current price is providing support, but this base could weaken quickly if SBI falls below Rs. 998.
Strong Put Base
The Rs. 1,000 Put carries Open Interest of 6,267 contracts, the highest among the displayed Put strikes. Fresh additions of 331 contracts strengthen this support.
The Rs. 1,010 Put also witnessed an addition of 577 contracts. However, because SBI closed below Rs. 1,010, this strike may act as a near-term pivot rather than dependable support.
Heavy Call Writing
The strongest Call resistance is visible at Rs. 1,040, with Open Interest of 8,937 contracts and fresh addition of 1,402 contracts. Rs. 1,020 also carries substantial Call Open Interest of 5,268 contracts.
This Call concentration confirms that SBI must cross Rs. 1,020 before attempting a meaningful recovery towards Rs. 1,034–1,040.
Market Interpretation
SBI’s technical and derivatives signals indicate a range-bound to bearish bias. Oversold indicators favour a bounce, but negative MACD and dominant –DMI restrict conviction. A directional trade should be taken only beyond Rs. 998 or Rs. 1,016.
Execution Plan
- Buy the 1,010 CE only above Rs. 1,016.
- Buy the 1,000 PE only below Rs. 998.
- Avoid fresh positions between Rs. 1,003 and Rs. 1,013.
- Trail the stop loss after the first target.
- Use limited position size because ADX indicates weak trend strength.
Confidence Meter
Directional confidence: 72% bearish below Rs. 1,016.
