IV Collapse Threatens Nifty50 Call Upside Without Recovery
From Monday’s close, IV on this call has seen a sharp collapse....Despite the gap up, premiums aren’t expanding the way they should. That’s a concern.

Holding Nifty 23600 CE Until IV Drops Below 10
Holding Nifty 13 Apr 23600 CE. Risky trade given elevated premiums, though IV has cooled to ~16. Still not cheap. Plan is simple. Holding as long as IV stays above 10. Any further crush and I’ll look to roll over to the...

Looks like 22,359.9 is acting as a nearby support zone for Nifty 50. Today’s low came in at 22,453 and buyers stepped in around that area. Feels like this zone will be important if the market dips again. #Nifty50

Nifty 23100 Put Trade Targets 405‑410 Amid High IV
Entered Nifty 23100 PE (30 Mar expiry) around 365. IV is elevated (~27), but still acceptable for me. As long as IV holds above 20, I’m staying in. Structure-wise, downside opened below 22900, so this is more of a momentum + expansion...
