NIFTY
Current: 5,526 (July fut:5,540);
Target: NA
The index may slide till 5,400 in the next three sessions. On the upside, it would hit resistance between 5,550-5,600. A short Nifty future with a stop loss at 5,575 and/or a long 5,700c (29) is one way to exploit a fall. A two-way trade is a strangle of long 5,400p (47) and a long 5,600c (58). If the market swings 100 points, the strangle should gain around 15-20 in net value.

BANK NIFTY

Target: 10,775
The financial index is just above key support between 10,950-11,050. If it falls below 11,920, it's likely to slide till 11,750. Keep a stop at 11,125 and go short. Add to the position between 10,875-10,925 and reset the stop to 10,975. Start booking profits below 10,775.
