Technical view
Bhatt notes that the stock has given a breakout above an ascending flag pattern. On the daily charts, after a week-long consolidation in the congestion zone of 3550-3620, MCX moved past the resistance area on good volumes and long OI addition of 2 percent in April Futures.
"In the options segment, buying interest has picked up at 3,750 and 3,800 Calls, unwinding noted in call writing positions at 3600 strikes indicating a weakening of resistance. The target for this breakout stands at 4000," said Bhatt.
"Since the stock has already seen aggressive short covering followed by long addition immediately after the breakout, the pace of up move from here on can be gradual with some bouts of intermediate profit / cool-offs. Keeping this point under consideration, we recommend an options strategy that is designed to take care of the time value depreciation factor in option premiums and ensure profits once the expected upmove occurs." Bhatt added.
