1. Strategy Recap (Previous Blog Reference)
Link: Nifty 50 Option Strategy - 30-12-2025
Bearish bias as Nifty below 200 EMA, support at 25,900, resistance at 26,000. Option chain showed highest Put OI at 25,900 (support) and Call OI at 26,000 (resistance). Selected **Bear Call Spread**: Sell 26000 CE, Buy 26200 CE (06 Jan 2026 expiry). Net credit approx. 115 points (₹7,500 for 65 lot size).
2. Market Outcome
Nifty opened around 25,942 and traded in a narrow range amid low year-end volumes, closing near **25,945** (+0.01%). No breakout above 26,000 resistance; price rejected and stayed below, confirming sideways to mild downside move. Volatility remained low, with favorable theta decay for credit spreads. Updated charts (15-min, 1H, Daily) show consolidation below resistance with oversold indicators.
3. Strategy Performance
Entry net credit: approx. 115 points (₹7,500 INR per lot).
Exit: Spread decayed in 24H due to low volatility and time decay; exit debit ~75.30 points (based on LTP: 112.80 - 37.50).
P&L: +39.7 points (₹2,580 INR per lot, lot size 65).
Maximum drawdown: Minimal (~10% of credit, as price stayed well below 26000).
Comparison of Expected Payoff vs Actual Outcome: Expected max profit ₹7,500; actual ₹2,580 (34.5% of max, solid for 1 day due to theta and IV contraction).
4. Learning & Observations
- Chart analysis held true: Rejection at 26,000 resistance confirmed bearish/sideways view.
- OI data supportive: Strong Call OI at 26,000 acted as solid cap.
- No major execution mistake; entry on rejection worked well.
- Year-end low volume amplified theta benefit, leading to realistic ~35% profit capture in 1 day (note: previous estimate of 70% was optimistic; actual decay aligns with Black-Scholes models considering IV drop and time passage).
5. How to Re-Strategize
Trade worked well: Could have maximized safely by holding longer (multi-day) for additional decay or using a wider spread (e.g., 26300 wing) for higher credit while maintaining risk.
6. Forward View
Market remains range-bound below 26,000 with support at 25,900. Possible mild downside into new year on low volumes. Wait for fresh trigger (break below 25,900 or above 26,000) before re-entering; no immediate aggressive setup.
