It was a quiet day in the market with consolidation and slow moves. But today is Fin Nifty expiry and we can expect some quick moves. 18,330-18,450 is the range I will watch closely for the initial clue about the trend.

Freak trades resurfaced in social media with strikes Fin Nifty 18000 PE and Nifty 17600 CE seeing weird spikes and down-spikes respectively. Before you step into today’s expiry, it is important to know how you can save yourself from being a victim of the freak trade. Always place a limit order rather than a market order. Also, placing an SL in the system can invite execution when there is a price spike.

Powell will speak tonight. Though this is not of much importance, surprise elements can shake the market. 

Keep in mind that there is RBI MPC meeting tomorrow. The interest rate decision will be made at 10 AM. The market may prepare for the move and hence, there can be uncertainty today. Premium will stay high until tomorrow. This is good for Fin Nifty option sellers who may get a higher premium to sell in the morning and OTM options will anyway have to go to zero.

I will watch 17,720 on the downside in NIFTY. 17,850 can be watched on the upside.
