Target: Entire Premium Inflow
Rationale:
Market is likely to remain range-bound in the near term, adhering to the levels established over the past two weeks.
The key reference points for Nifty are: Support at 22,750 and Resistance at 23,800.
Given the current range-bound nature of the market, a Short Strangle strategy is an ideal choice to capitalize on time decay (Theta decay).
This strategy is profitable if the market remains in a tight range, benefiting from both volatility contraction and Theta decay.
