Stop Loss: 36
Target: Entire Premium Inflow
Rationale:
>> There is an improvement in the overall market breadth over the last week, suggesting a limited downside capped within 22900. On the higher side, 23800 remains crucial and might take some time before it is breached.
>> Given this setup, the market is likely to consolidate within this range, making a Short Strangle strategy an ideal choice to capitalize on time decay (Theta decay).
>> This strategy offers the potential for profits if the market remains range-bound along with a contraction in Volatility and Theta decay.
