With the Nifty50 index witnessing selling pressure around 11,550 levels, the next month scenario seems more exciting with turbulence hitting lower grounds. Several stocks are witnessing positive rollovers as positions switch to April expiry.

The highest premium is being witnessed in Torrent Power and Adani Enterprises with their prices getting one per cent costlier. On the negative side, Jet Airways (India), V-Guard Industries and TVS Motor Company have seen a discounted premium for April series.

Stocks like YES Bank, HDFC and TCS are witnessing higher open interest (OI) for April series. Major private banks such as Axis Bank and ICICI Bank are depicting higher interest of traders.

The Put-call ratio for Nifty50 stands around 1.60 fostering stable sentiment for April series. If in case, the index manages to absorb selling arising in the range of 11,550 – 11,600, then it may further head towards 11,750 and 11,850 levels. As of now, 11,600 CE and 11,400 PE is gathering open interest for the April weekly expiry.

As index starts trading in weekly series, the monthly expiry will see activity only after mid-month (fortnight). The current trend reversed from 11,300 levels, which eventually stay as support for coming sessions.  

The current series is eyeing lower enthusiasm for auto stocks. Scrips like Maruti Suzuki India, Ashok Leyland, and Tata Motors are losing on “sustained addition” in OI for upcoming series.
