Intraday With Advance Option TradingIntraday option trading focuses on capturing short-term price movements within the same trading session. Advanced option trading combines price action, option chain analysis, Greeks, volatility, and institutional activity to improve trade accuracy and risk management.
1. Understanding Intraday Option Trading
In intraday trading:
Positions are opened and closed on the same day.
Traders mainly trade Index Options like:
NIFTY
BANKNIFTY
FINNIFTY
The goal is to capture momentum, breakout, reversal, or premium expansion moves.
2. Core Elements of Advanced Option Trading
A) Option Chain Analysis
Option chain helps identify:
Support zones
Resistance zones
Institutional positioning
Market sentiment
Important Observations
Heavy Put Writing = Support
Heavy Call Writing = Resistance
Call Unwinding = Bullish
Put Unwinding = Bearish

EURUSD Bearish Rejection From Channel ResistanceEURUSD remains under bearish pressure after rejecting from the upper boundary of the descending channel. Price attempted a bullish breakout but failed to sustain above resistance, showing strong seller presence near the 1.1630–1.1660 zone.
The overall structure still favors downside continuation while lower highs continue to form. If price breaks below the 1.1600 support area, bearish momentum could increase toward the 1.1575 support level.
As long as resistance remains intact, sellers are likely to maintain control and push the market lower in the short term.
GBPUSD Reversal Zone On Higher TimeframeThe lower timeframes were showing too many fake candles and unclear movements, so I shifted to the 2H timeframe to get a cleaner view of the supply and demand structure. After moving to the higher timeframe, the market structure became much clearer and easier to analyze.
Based on the 2H structure, the market successfully broke the previous high. After the breakout, I identified the nearest supply area and projected it forward from the bearish candle zone. This helped me create a clean reversal zone.
Now the main focus is simple — if the market forms any strong positive candle or bullish confirmation inside this reversal zone, then price could continue moving toward the upside.
At the moment, the structure looks much cleaner compared to the lower timeframes, and the reaction inside the reversal zone will decide the next move.
This analysis is based on the MMC concepts designed by Candle King. A huge amount of credit goes to him — his concepts have helped me understand and solve market structure much more clearly.
USDJPY Tests Critical Resistance Near 159USDJPY remains near the 159 level after a strong two-week recovery rally.
Technically, the pair continues forming higher lows on the H4 chart while holding above EMA34 and EMA89, showing that buyers still control the short-term structure.
However, momentum is beginning to slow near the important 159.20 – 159.50 resistance zone, where strong selling pressure appeared previously.
The US dollar continues receiving support from high US bond yields and fading expectations for Fed rate cuts, which remains bullish for USDJPY.
Still, traders remain cautious about possible intervention from Japanese authorities if the pair approaches 160 too aggressively.
USDINR = 300 by 2047I have done data back analysis and what i have found is no matter what happens, INR depreciates @ 2 % per annum in the best year, 5 to 7 in mid and 10 15% per annum in worst year
using the linear regression model, USDINR shall be 160 by 2037
but my brain i can probably say with 80% conviction USDINR with 250
using the same, by 2047 USDINR shall be around 200 or 300++
Institution Option Trading Part-3PCR means Put-Call Ratio
It compares how many Put options are traded versus Call options.
Simple formula: Put Volume ÷ Call Volume.
This helps understand market mood.
Institutions use options heavily
Big players like banks, hedge funds, mutual funds often use options for hedging and positioning.
So PCR can give clues about what smart money may be doing.
Shows fear vs confidence
High PCR = More puts than calls = Fear, protection, bearish mood.
Low PCR = More calls than puts = Confidence, bullish mood.
Institutions often buy protection before market falls.
USD/CHF Continues Its UptrendUSD/CHF continued its uptrend for the second consecutive day, successfully climbing past the psychological 0.7900 level and retesting a three-week high at the start of the European session.
This strengthening was driven by the strength of the US Dollar (USD), which remained near a six-week high (DXY), although buyers began to show a wait-and-see attitude ahead of the release of the Fed's key documents tonight.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
✅ Fundamental Dynamics: A Push and Push for Hedging Assets
Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors continue to provide a strong foundation for the Greenback:
- ⚡Hawkish Fed Sentiment: Comments from Fed officials (such as Anna Paulson) and a surge in bets on a 2026 rate hike above 55% continue to support US bond yields. Expectations that the Fed will release closely-watched meeting minutes tonight have made the low-yielding Swiss Franc (CHF) lose its appeal.
- ⚡Middle East Geopolitics: Physical tensions following the drone attack on the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant (UAE) and Donald Trump's military bluster ("one hour to the attack") are keeping oil prices high.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
✅ Key Levels to Watch
- ⚡Key Resistance (0.7956): Prices must close above this level on a sustained basis to shift the long-term bias of USD/CHF from bearish to purely bullish.
- ⚡Nearest Support (0.7902): The 50% Fibonacci level. This floor must be held during the New York session to maintain daily bullish momentum.
- ⚡Inside Cushion (0.7868): The 38.2% Fibonacci level. This area will be tested if the release of the FOMC Minutes tonight is surprisingly dovish.
EURUSD Extends Bearish BreakdownEURUSD remains under heavy pressure after breaking below the 1.1700 support zone on the H4 chart.
Price continues making lower lows with almost no meaningful rebound, confirming that sellers still dominate short-term momentum. Technically, EMA34 remains below EMA89, while the widening gap between both EMAs signals an accelerating bearish trend.
The key support zone now sits around 1.1570 – 1.1550. If this area breaks, EURUSD could quickly fall toward 1.1500.
The main pressure comes from strong USD recovery as US bond yields stay near multi-year highs and markets continue expecting the Fed to keep a hawkish policy stance.
At the same time, hotter US inflation data has reduced expectations for Fed rate cuts in 2026, keeping sustained pressure on the euro.
Trading Nifty AnalysisWhere is Nifty right now?
Nifty closed at 23,689 on Thursday May 14. After a brutal fall earlier this week (it touched ~23,300), it bounced back for 2 days in a row. So right now it's in a recovery mood — but it hasn't really "fixed" itself yet. Think of it like someone who had a fever, now feeling slightly better, but not fully healthy.
2 What's the wall above? (Resistance)
If Nifty tries to go up next week, it will hit a wall around 23,500–23,600 first. That's the first test. If it somehow crosses that, the BIGGER wall is at 23,900–24,000 — where all the major moving averages (50-day & 200-day) are sitting. Lots of sellers will be waiting there to book profits. So going above 24,000 next week? Unlikely unless something very positive happens.
3 What's the floor below? (Support)
If Nifty starts falling, the first safety net is around 23,300–23,150. This zone has held multiple times recently. If it breaks this level decisively (and stays below it), then the next stop could be 23,000 or even 22,900. That's the danger zone — but that's not the most likely scenario for next week.
4 What's working in Nifty's favour?
Good news that could push it up:
AUDUSD Weakens Below Key EMAsAUDUSD is turning weaker on the H4 timeframe after being heavily sold from the 0.7250 area.
Price has already broken below both EMA34 and EMA89, showing that bullish momentum is fading quickly. The 0.7150 support zone was also broken rapidly, with the pair now trading near 0.7120.
If price continues holding below EMA34, AUDUSD could extend losses toward 0.7100 and possibly 0.7070.
Technically, EMA34 is starting to slope downward and may soon cross below EMA89 — a signal that the market could be transitioning from consolidation into a deeper correction.

The “Almost” Trap in Trading!I genuinely think some of the most painful moments in trading are not the big losses.
It is the trades that were almost perfect.
The ones where TP gets missed by a few points and then price fully reverses. The entries you hesitated on for a few seconds before the market exploded exactly in your direction. The stop loss that gets tapped first, and then suddenly the trade works without you.
Those situations stay in the mind for hours.
I noticed this happening to me a lot earlier. A normal losing trade would annoy me for some time, but eventually I could move on. But “almost” trades were different. They kept replaying in my head again and again.
You start thinking:
“If I entered a little earlier…”
“If my stop was slightly wider…”
“If I held for 5 more minutes…”
And honestly, that is where the real problem starts.
1. Almost Hitting Take Profit
What Usually Happens
The trade moves perfectly toward the target. Profit is visible. Confidence increases. Mentally, the trade already feels won.
Then suddenly, the market reverses completely.
Why It Hurts So Much
This feels worse than a normal loss because the brain has already emotionally accepted the reward. It feels like something was taken away from you.
What Traders Usually Do Afterward
* Enter again immediately
* Reduce patience
* Near future trades too early
* Emotionally change targets
* Stare at charts for hours
I personally noticed that after these trades, objectivity disappears quietly. You stop trading the current market and start reacting emotionally to what almost happened.
2. Almost Catching the Entry
What Usually Happens
You analyze the setup correctly, but hesitate for a few seconds. Then the market moves exactly as expected without you.
Why It Becomes Dangerous
Missing money hurts, but missing a correct idea hurts differently. It creates regret.
And regret is dangerous in trading because the brain immediately wants another opportunity.
What Traders Usually Do Afterward
+ Chase price late
+ Enter impulsively
+ Force random setups
+ Increase risk emotionally
+ Stop waiting patiently
This is where emotional trading quietly begins. The missed trade stays mentally active, and every candle starts looking like another chance.
3. Almost Being Right
What Usually Happens
The stop loss gets hit first, but later the market moves perfectly toward the original target.
Why Traders Become Emotionally Attached
At that point, traders stop focusing on execution and start protecting their ego emotionally.
The mind keeps repeating: “My analysis was right.”
But trading is not only about direction. Timing and risk management matter too.
What Traders Usually Do Afterward:
1. Widen stop losses
2. Avoid accepting losses
3. Hold trades emotionally
4. Become stubborn with bias
5. Stop respecting invalidation
This slowly damages discipline because traders begin prioritizing being right over trading properly.
4. Why “Almost” Is Psychologically Dangerous
The brain struggles with unfinished outcomes.
A clean loss has closure.
A clean win has closure.
But “almost” creates emotional tension because the situation feels incomplete.
The mind keeps replaying:
A. almost profit
B. almost entry
C. almost perfect analysis
And the longer traders stay emotionally attached to those thoughts, the more objective thinking disappears.
5. The Hidden Damage Most Traders Never Notice
I honestly think many emotional mistakes begin from situations exactly like this.
Not from massive losses.
Not from terrible strategies.
But from emotional frustration caused by unfinished outcomes.
This frustration slowly creates:
1. Revenge trading
2. Impulsive entries
3. Overanalysis
4. Emotional attachment
5. Forced setups
6. Loss of discipline
The original trade finishes, but emotionally, the trader never moved on.
6. What I Finally Learned
Over time, I realized something important:
“Almost” has no value in trading.
The market does not reward close predictions, near-perfect trades, or emotional frustration. It only rewards disciplined execution repeated consistently over time.
Now, whenever situations like this arise, I try to move on faster rather than mentally fighting the market for hours.
Because usually the real damage does not come from the missed trade itself.
It comes from the emotional decisions that happen afterward.
We’ll come up with more topics like this.

AUDUSD_DThe AUD/USD pair appears to have completed a five-wave Elliott structure on the Daily timeframe, while a clear bearish divergence is visible on both the Daily and Weekly timeframes.
In addition, a bearish Butterfly harmonic pattern is forming on the Weekly chart, increasing the probability of a medium-term downside correction.
As long as price remains below the invalidation level, the market outlook stays bearish, and we expect a decline toward the following targets:
0.69229
0.68254
0.67055
A confirmed breakdown below 0.70951 could provide a potential trigger for short positions.
However, if price breaks and sustains above 0.72770, this bearish scenario will be invalidated.
Fundamental Analysis (Related to Your Setup)
From a fundamental perspective, several factors could support bearish pressure on AUD/USD in the coming weeks:
* A stronger US Dollar driven by expectations of higher-for-longer interest rates from the Federal Reserve may continue to weigh on the Australian Dollar.
* Weakness in global growth sentiment and slower demand from China — Australia’s largest trading partner — could negatively impact commodity-linked currencies such as AUD.
* Declining risk appetite in global markets typically strengthens the USD while pressuring higher-beta currencies like AUD.
* If commodity prices, especially iron ore and industrial metals, continue to soften, the Australian Dollar may face additional downside momentum.
* Meanwhile, a cautious stance from the Reserve Bank of Australia compared with the Fed could further widen policy divergence in favor of the US Dollar.
GBP/USD Political Instability + Technical Breakout Short-Term DoAfter the UK local elections, the British Prime Minister may be forced to step down at any time. This week, the British pound weakened amid political instability. Yesterday, it broke the key support at 1.3460 (1) established over the past four weeks. Technically, GBP still has enough room to decline. The short-term target can be set around 1.3200 (3) - 1.3250 (2).
USD/JPY Shows Good PerformanceUSD/JPY posted a remarkable performance with five consecutive days of gains, hitting a two-week high around 158.50.
The combination of worrying Japanese inflation data and the resilience of the US economy has pushed the pair to one of its strongest weekly closes this year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
✅ JPY: Pressured by Imported Inflation & Middle East Risks
The Japanese Yen is on the defensive due to global cost pressures:
- Japanese PPI Surge: Data released today showed the Japanese Producer Price Index jumped 4.9% year-on-year in April. This increase was driven by high energy import costs due to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Intervention Risk: The only factor holding back further gains in USD/JPY is the market's "fear" of verbal or physical intervention from Japanese authorities if the price approaches the psychological level of 160.00.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
✅ USD: Driven by a Resilient "Trio" of US Data
The US dollar remains king in the forex market this week:
- Interest Rate Speculation: Markets are now starting to seriously consider a Fed rate hike by the end of 2026.
- Diplomatic Stability: Despite Trump's threats against Iran, the success of the constructive dialogue between Trump and Xi Jinping (which was welcomed by the IMF) has reduced global trade uncertainty, providing a supportive environment for the USD to strengthen against low-yielding currencies like the JPY.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
✅ USD/JPY Technical Analysis (Intraday)
Technically, the market structure strongly favors buyers (bullish):
- ⚡Immediate Resistance (158.80 - 159.20): This area is the last obstacle before the pair attempts to break through the psychological level of 160.00.
- ⚡Crucial Support (157.00 - 157.50): Any intraday correction (pullback) will likely be viewed as a buying opportunity by the market as long as the price remains above this zone.
- ⚡Momentum Indicator: Five consecutive days of gains indicate strong bullish momentum, but traders remain wary of volatility at Friday's market close (profit taking).
EURUSD Weakens Below Key SupportEURUSD continues to decline after breaking below EMA34 and EMA89. Price is currently trading near 1.1650, while strong bearish momentum confirms sellers remain in control.
The key support at 1.1700 has already been broken decisively. If price stays below this zone, EURUSD could continue falling toward 1.1620 and potentially 1.1580.
The main driver behind the move is USD strength following stronger-than-expected US CPI and PPI data. Sticky inflation has reduced expectations for Fed rate cuts and pushed US bond yields higher.
Meanwhile, Europe’s economy continues to show weaker growth signals, while the ECB remains more dovish than the Fed, adding further pressure on the euro.
Technically, EMA34 crossing below EMA89 and both EMAs turning downward suggest bearish momentum is strengthening further.
Can EURUSD Extend Higher or Is Resistance About to Hold?Hi traders,
EURUSD has quietly built a stronger technical structure over recent sessions, with price action on H4 continuing to respect both EMA 34 and EMA 89 as dynamic support. The rebound from late-April weakness has so far remained intact, and the series of higher lows suggests that bullish momentum has not disappeared yet.
Momentum indicators are gradually improving as EMA 34 begins to separate further from EMA 89 — often an early sign that trend strength is returning. Still, buyers are approaching a critical test near 1.1780–1.1800, an area that could determine whether the current recovery evolves into a broader breakout.
Fundamentally, the next move may depend less on technicals and more on macro data. U.S. CPI figures and upcoming FED speeches are likely to drive volatility across the dollar market this week. Softer inflation could weaken USD demand and support another push higher in EURUSD. But if FED officials maintain a hawkish tone, the pair may struggle to sustain momentum and could rotate back into a sideways range.
For now, as long as EURUSD remains above 1.1720, the short-term bullish structure still appears intact.
AUD/CHF Remains Bullish, But There's Potential for a PullbackThe main trend is in a Strong Bullish phase. This is confirmed by the price's impulsive breakthrough of the previous High and creating a new Higher High (HH) around 0.56872.
The current price is at 0.56701. Note the last candles at the peak of the uptrend; a fairly long upper wick is starting to appear on the large candle, indicating profit-taking and seller rejection at that price level.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
✅ Key Zones:
- ⚡Resistance/Supply: 0.56850 - 0.56950 (The red zone above is the current upward limit).
- ⚡Support/Demand: 0.56200 - 0.56300 (The gray box in the middle, previously a Resistance area, is now a potential Support area).
---------------------------------------------------------------
If we map the wave cycle of this impulsive upward movement:
- ⚡Wave Structure: The sharp surge from 0.56000 to 0.56800+ appears to be the completion of a highly impulsive Wave 3 or the beginning of a sub-wave within Wave 5.
- ⚡Current Status: The price at 0.56701 is likely the beginning of Wave 4 (Corrective Wave). In theory, after the major impulse of Wave 3, the market needs a "breathing" phase to balance the price before the final upward push.
- ⚡Projection: There is potential for a corrective decline towards the retracement area around 0.56300 as a form of validation before the price prepares for the final push.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The main bias for AUDCHF on the current H4 timeframe is BULLISH. However, the next short-term price movement is likely to be down (corrective) towards the demand area before resuming its upward movement.
Buy on Dip Scenario: Don't chase the price (FOMO) at current levels due to the risk of a pullback. It's wiser to wait for the price to enter the 0.56250-0.56350 area.
If bullish rejection confirmation appears in that area, it's a very healthy buy opportunity.
EUR/USD 45M Inverse Head & Shoulders Retest Setup – Bullish ReveKey Technical Observations
1. Inverse Head & Shoulders Formation
The marked swing structure suggests:
Left Shoulder: Around May 13
Head: Deeper low near 1.1690
Right Shoulder: Current retest zone near 1.1705–1.1710
This pattern usually signals:
seller exhaustion,
accumulation,
and a potential bullish breakout if neckline support holds.
2. Strong Retest Zone
The red horizontal support around 1.1704–1.1710 is critical.
Current price action is:
pulling back into support,
respecting the neckline area,
and attempting to form higher lows.
This creates a classic:
breakout → retest → continuation setup.
3. Bullish Projection
The drawn target zone projects upside toward:
1.1800 – 1.1820
This aligns with:
previous swing highs,
measured move projection from the inverse H&S,
and psychological resistance near 1.1800.
4. Momentum Structure
The sequence of rounded swing markings highlights:
repeated cyclical rotations,
decreasing bearish momentum,
and increasingly aggressive bullish recoveries.
The latest decline also looks weaker compared with prior selloffs.
Trading Bias
Bullish Scenario
If price:
holds above 1.1704,
and breaks local resistance near 1.1720–1.1730,
then buyers may push toward:
1.1760
1.1785
1.1820 target zone.
Bearish Invalidation
A clean breakdown below:
1.1700
would weaken the setup and could lead to:
1.1680
1.1660 retests.
Overall Interpretation
The chart currently favors a:
bullish continuation/reversal bias
with a high-probability retest entry structure.
The setup is strongest if:
volume increases on the bounce,
USD weakens broadly,
and EUR/USD maintains higher lows above neckline support.
