BANKNIFTY : Trading Levels and Plan for 30-Oct-2024

Intro:
On the previous trading day, Bank Nifty exhibited strong upward momentum and achieving all the targets that mentioned in yesterday's Trading plan, testing new resistance levels with limited retracements. Key zones have emerged for tomorrow, with a mix of potential sideways, bullish, and bearish trends. The chart highlights yellow as the trend indicating sideways movement, green for bullish trends, and red for bearish trends. Here’s a trading strategy based on different opening scenarios.

Trading Plan for 30-Oct-2024

1. Gap Up Opening (200+ points above)
   
   If Bank Nifty opens with a 200+ points gap up, it is likely to encounter resistance near the 52,849 level, marked as the Resistance for Sideways. If prices sustain above this level, we could see an upward movement towards the Strong Resistance / Profit Booking Zone at 53,174. However, if it fails to maintain above 52,849, expect a retracement towards 52,409 or even back to the Opening Support level at 52,160.
   
   – If selling pressure increases at these levels, there is a possibility of the index dropping towards the Intraday Support for Sideways at 51,955.
   
   
   
2. Flat Opening (within 100 points of the previous close)
   
   With a flat opening, focus on the early price action near 52,287. A move above 52,409 could trigger a bullish run toward 52,849. Watch for consolidation or resistance in this zone; if it breaks above, the next target could be 53,174. Alternatively, failure to hold above 52,409 could lead to a test of 52,160 (Opening Support) and possibly a downward trend toward 51,955.
   
   – A breakdown below 51,955 may signal additional selling pressure, testing levels as low as 51,615.
   
   
   
3. Gap Down Opening (200+ points below)
   
   In a gap-down scenario, Bank Nifty will likely find immediate support at 51,955. If it holds, there may be a bounce back toward 52,287 to regain momentum. A strong recovery above 52,287 could shift the sentiment back to bullish, aiming for 52,849 as the next resistance level. However, if 51,955 fails as support, expect further declines toward 51,615.
   
   – Any sustained weakness below 51,615 could accelerate bearish trends and lead to more downside.
