My thoughts on the current market 06/10
Expects a neutral market day after a drop driven by inflation and war news; advises option sellers to manage margin and roll CSPs.
- The current downturn is likely temporary, and a market reversal is expected if key support levels hold.
- Option sellers can navigate the volatility by maintaining adequate margin and rolling Cash Secured Puts (CSPs).
- The market easily broke past previous support due to profit-taking, inflation concerns, and war news.
- There is a risk of further downside to the next support level at 7,175 if the current support at 7,260 fails.
Yesterday I mentioned that the market was respecting support of 7,350. Today it easily broke past that and closed exactly at support of 7,260. The fall can be attributed to 1. Profit Taking 2. Inflation 3. War News.
My expectation for tomorrow will be that if the market opens above 7,260 - it will try to hold onto this support. Else the next support is at 7,175 levels. So we will have to wait and see tomorrow but I would expect a neutral day.
For option sellers and this is my opinion, I feel the downturn may be temporary and we could see a market reversal if support levels hold. I would say ensure that there is enough margin to avoid margin calls as we dont want to get liquidated early. Also look to roll CSPs if you dont want a stock assigned.
