NIFTY : Trading levels and Plan for 20-Nov-2025

📊 NIFTY TRADING PLAN — 20 NOV 2025
(Reference: 15-min chart structure & key intraday levels)

Nifty closed around 26,052, sitting just above the Opening Resistance / Support Zone (26,036 – 26,070). Price action is now heading toward a crucial supply area above 26,140–26,194, and short-term structure suggests volatility around the opening price.

Here are the major actionable levels for 20 Nov 2025:

🟧 Opening Resistance / Support Zone: 26,036 – 26,070
🟥 Last Intraday Resistance Zone: 26,146 – 26,194
🟥 Major Resistance: 26,309
🟩 Opening Support (Gap-down case): 25,964
🟩 Last Intraday Support: 25,902

Below is the complete plan for all opening scenarios 👇

🟢 SCENARIO 1 — GAP-UP OPENING (100+ Points)

If Nifty opens around 26,150–26,200, this places price directly inside or just under the Last Intraday Resistance Zone (26,146–26,194).

1. []If price sustains above 26,194 for 10–20 minutes with strong volume →
    ⭐ Upside targets → 26,245 → 26,280 → 26,309
   []If price rejects 26,146–26,194, expect a correction toward:
    ➡️ 26,100 → 26,070
   []A bullish retest at 26,070 with reversal candles offers a safe long entry.
   []Avoid buying immediately at open — gap-ups near resistance often trap traders.
   

📘 Educational Note:
Gap-ups work best only when price makes higher lows after the open. A flat or weak first candle at resistance often signals exhaustion.

🟧 SCENARIO 2 — FLAT OPENING (Near 26,020–26,070)

A flat open places Nifty inside the Opening Resistance / Support Zone (26,036–26,070) — a decision region.

1. []A clean breakout above 26,070 →
    Targets → 26,110 → 26,146 → 26,194
   []If price breaks below 26,036, expect a drop to:
    ➡️ 25,964 (Opening Support)
   []Avoid trading inside the 26,030–26,070 zone until direction is clear.
   []Best trades will be:
    — Breakout → Retest → Continuation
    — Support bounce from 25,964
   

💡 Educational tip:
Flat openings are ideal for trend identification. The first 15-min candle usually gives strong directional clues — don’t rush in.

🔻 SCENARIO 3 — GAP-DOWN OPENING (100+ Points)

A gap-down below 25,970 puts price directly into the Opening Support zone (25,964).

1. []If 25,964 holds with bullish wick rejection →
    Upside targets → 26,020 → 26,070 → 26,110
   []If price breaks 25,964 decisively, next support zone:
    ➡️ 25,902 (Last Intraday Support)
   []A strong bounce from 25,902 can provide an excellent low-risk long entry.
   []If 25,902 breaks with momentum, downside expands to:
    ➡️ 25,860 → 25,820
   

📘 Educational Note:
Gap-downs into support often give the strongest reversal trades of the day — but only after confirmation.

💼 RISK MANAGEMENT TIPS FOR OPTION TRADERS 💡

1. []Avoid trading the first 5–10 minutes after market opens.
   []Use ATM or ITM options for directional trades.
   []Define your stop loss BEFORE entering — never adjust it emotionally.
   []Avoid averaging in losing positions.
   []When VIX is low → option buying works better.
   []When VIX is high → prefer hedged option selling strategies.
   
2. Book partial profits — don’t wait for full target if momentum weakens.
   

⚠️ Golden Rule:
Your objective is to survive long enough to catch the big moves — protect your capital first.
