  • 25200 ATM Straddle: ₹98 → 1 SD range = 25100–25300
  • TK Algo Signal: Buy on Nifty
  • Calendar Spread: 25200 strike trading at ₹180 – still the trade of choice.

📈 Tanmay’s Trade View:

  • Expect expiry around 25,250–25,350.
  • Use calendars for carry into next week.
  • For expiry: deploy Iron Fly @ 25,250 with 150-point wings.
  • Ideal dip buy zone: 25,060–25,070 for bounce to 25,250+

🏭 Sector Trends (TK Algo):

  • Strength: Auto, FMCG, Realty, Capital Markets
  • Weakness: CPSC, Metals, Financials
  • Nifty/Bank Nifty/Sensex: Neutral

🛢️ Commodities & FX:

  • Gold: $3,339/oz | MCX: ₹97,486 – strong
  • Silver (MCX): ₹1,12,190 – strong
  • NatGas: ₹304 – buy zone
  • Crude: ₹5,696 – now in shorting territory
  • USDINR: 85.80 (support), 86.10 (resistance) | DXY: 98.49

“Volatility is dead. Don’t chase the open — expiry trades will work best if you wait for dips or range compressions. Stick to calendar spreads, use Iron Flies, and lean on sector momentum for the edge.”
