Rationale:
-- Immediate resistance lies at 22750-22,800, a level that previously acted as support in Jan-Feb 2025, while support lies near the putative swing lows near 22,000-21950.
-- Currently, the market is lacking the momentum to break decisively above 22,800 or below 22,000. Nifty is likely to consolidate sideways within the same in the near term.
-- A clear move above 23,100 or below 21,900 will determine the next major trend. Until then, markets are expected to remain range-bound and consolidate.
-- A short Strangle is apt under the current conditions. (Disclaimer: Sahaj Agrawal is a senior vice president and head of derivatives research at Kotak Securities. Views expressed are his own.)
