🚀 If NIFTY Opens with a Gap-Up (100+ Points)
A gap-up opening near 23,500+ means price will be closer to the resistance zone. In this case:

1. [] If NIFTY faces rejection near 23,544, look for a shorting opportunity with a target of 23,345-23,422.
   [] A strong breakout above 23,544 with good momentum and volume can push NIFTY towards 23,672 (profit booking zone).
   
2. If NIFTY consolidates around 23,500 and holds, look for buying opportunities after a retest with a stop-loss below 23,422.
   
   📌 Pro Tip: If you are trading options, watch for IV (Implied Volatility) spikes. Avoid buying options at the open when IV is high. Wait for a pullback or confirmation before entering.
   
   📊 If NIFTY Opens Flat (± 30 Points)
   1. [] A flat opening means price will likely be inside the No Trade Zone (23,345-23,422). This zone can act as both support and resistance.
      [] Avoid aggressive trades in this zone and wait for a clear direction.
      [] A breakout above 23,422 can push NIFTY towards 23,544.
      [] A breakdown below 23,345 can lead to 23,256 first and then towards 23,178-23,202.
      
      📌 Pro Tip: When trading inside a range, avoid taking large positions. Instead, use Iron Condors or Credit Spreads in options for range-bound profits.
      
      📉 If NIFTY Opens with a Gap-Down (100+ Points)
      1. [] A gap-down near 23,178 - 23,202 can bring initial buying support. However, if this level breaks, we can see a quick move towards 22,950-22,990.
         [] If NIFTY finds support around 23,178 and reverses, we can go long with a target of 23,256-23,345.
         
      2. If it struggles near 23,256, this can be a sell-on-rise opportunity for a downward move.
         
         📌 Pro Tip: For put buyers, ensure there is confirmation of weakness before entering. If the market shows strength after the gap-down, avoid holding puts for too long.
