Nifty F&O Strategy: Index headed towards 18,800, opt for long 18,500 call, says ICICIdirect

Based on the midcap index's fresh life highs and Nifty testing psychological 18500 levels, analysts suggest that the index may maintain a positive bias and move towards 18800-18850 levels by the expiry, with aggressive put writing visible at 18400 and 18300 strikes for the coming week. Analysts advise bullish traders to opt for the long 18500 Call with a target of 150 and stop loss of 45 until expiry, as the open interest at the inception of June series and FII positions remain relatively low and fresh longs are formed in the index. However, high Nifty premiums may remain a cause of concern.
