This means downside still has room.

Continuous institutional selling.
DII Cash
Today: +₹7449 Cr
DIIs are absorbing FII selling but the index still fell.
➡ This is classic distribution phase.
5. Price Structure (Chart)

Trend channel breakdown
This confirms momentum selloff.

Meaning:
Market expects large movement soon.
Such regimes often produce 100-250 point intraday moves.

high IV
Tomorrow Probabilities
Scenario
Probability
Sideways 23550-23700
20%
Moderate fall 23350-23500
45%
Sharp fall 23150-23300
25%
Short covering rally
10%
9. Key Trigger Level
23600
If market opens below 23600
➡ Downside acceleration likely.
If market breaks 23500
➡ fast move toward 23300 possible.
10. View: Steep Fall Tomorrow
if one of these occurs:
1️⃣ Gap down below 23580
2️⃣ First 30 min high rejection
3️⃣ Futures OI increases with falling price
Then:
➡ 23200-23300 zone achievable
11. Professional Trade Setup
Bearish strategy institutions may use:
23650 PE Buy
23250 PE Sell
Reason:
Captures downside move
Limits theta decay
Works well in high IV
12. Risk to Bearish View
Bearish thesis fails if:
Nifty reclaims 23750
FII futures shorts start covering
Put writers defend 23500
Then we may see short covering to 23900.
Final Institutional View
Market structure suggests:
Primary Trend: Bearish
Sentiment: Institutional short build-up
Momentum: Downtrend intact
Most probable move tomorrow
➡ 23350-23500
If panic selling:
➡ 23200
✅ Conclusion
expectation of steep fall has reasonable merit, but the trigger is 23500 breakdown.
