Summary
Host Tanmay Guhtgi analyzes the Nifty auction's resilience against one-way passive flows, noting that while the auction absorbed expiry volume, it struggled with directional pressure. He highlights a significant market rotation from large caps to small caps and identifies 24,000 as a major resistance level due to heavy call buildup. The episode covers global risk-on sentiment, oil price spikes, and a bullish flip in gold, while advising traders to use defined-risk strategies like iron flies and avoid heavy positions ahead of the next expiry.
