Nifty
Current: 5,885,
Target: NA
A breakout from the current narrow range, should move at least 150-200 points (5,750/6,050) in either direction. Consider a strangle of long 5,700p (36) and long 6,100c (26) or a straddle of long 5,900c (95) and long 5,900p (96). Even a move till 5,800 or 6,000 will lead to profits in either case because one option premium will gain more sharply than the other will lose value.
