Short calendar trades may work on high strikes

Avoid aggressive long trades unless 24,890 is reclaimed

The market is still looking for direction. A 25–30 point dip early could attract dip buyers if expiry support zones hold. Watch Fed commentary tonight for bigger directional cues into Thursday’s trade.
