24,500 broke. Call writers got trapped. Now it's the floor.

Gift Nifty is trading at 24,454, down 121 points. 18, still above that $96 mark. 49, still above that 93. Both wrong sides fired and the call wall from yesterday just became today's floor. This is the Tanmay Edge. I am Tanmay Kurtkoti. Episode 24. Let's go. So 2 hours ago, Gift Nifty was trading at 24,450. Right now, Gift Nifty is trading over there itself. The gap down narrowed by 22 points overnight. Somebody was buying the dip in the gift session. Look at Asia.

65% at 6am. 17. 21%. Asia leadership cooled into open. That's not a risk on the tape. That's a risk off tape with one buyer left standing in India. But here's the twist. US futures flipped green while we were sleeping. That's a 318 point swing from the cash close. S&P is still soft. Nasdaq is still soft. So the rotation in the Dow over tech, old economy over new, which lines up with what crude is doing. So let's look at that as well.

20. 20. Crude is the story. It's not the panic move. It was 24 hours ago, but it has not given back the breakout. And as long as Brent sits above $96 and USDINR sits above that $93, the wrong side tell from episode 23 stays armed. So gold is at $4754 back, whereas silver minus 3%. Risk is being reshuffled, not being bought in, that's clear. So Tuesday close, we saw FIIs selling again 1918 crores, so that is 1900 crore of equity. The DII cash bought 2200 crore of equity.

April month to date FIIs have dumped around 42,000 crores where DIIs have absorbed around 35,000 crores. There is one buyer in the market. It is not the foreign money. Now the part nobody talks about. FII index futures. So net short are standing around 1,73,000 contracts. They covered around 15,000 yesterday as well on the breakout day. That is not capitulation. That is a hedge trim. They are still short. FII index options, they sold 1,31,000 calls. They bought 300,000 puts on a breakout day.

That is a hedged bearish book. The breakout did not change foreign positioning. That tells you everything. So pro is on the other side, long 1 lakh 24,000 calls, long 23,000 puts. Pro is long volatility, long direction. So they are playing for long volatility as well as the markets to go higher. And the client sold 3 lakh 80,000 puts right at the call wall. And if the wall breaks the wrong way, client is the one who pays. So whose book is right today?

If we hold above 24,400, pro wins. If we crack 24,400, FIIs win. If we chop, DIIs win. The most exposed book is clients. So what is today's call? So yesterday 24,500 broke clean. The expiry pin failed. But the call writers at 24,500 did not run. They are now sitting on a busted wall. The wall flips. Today, 24,400 to 24,500 becomes the floor, not the ceiling. Here is the trade. Buy the dip into 24,400. Stop below 24,350. Targets are about 24,500 first, then 24,600 second.

And 24,600 is the next gamma flip on the way up. The reason this works today and didn't work yesterday is that IVs got crushed at expiry. 64. Today's open print on protection is much cheaper. So you can buy the dip and pay almost nothing for a put hedge underneath. Hedged longs at cheap vol is the cleanest structure of the week. So if 24,400 breaks, you don't fight it. Step aside, watch FII covering speed. A flush goes to 24,350, 24,300. That is where DIIs would step in.

So that is where you can also add back the position once again. Today is one day to expiry plus Infosys Q4 results at close. Two events stacked. Peak theta. Peak earnings vol. That is present. Sensex spot is trading at 79,273. Magnet 79,000 below, pin above 79,500. That is that level. And gamma flip level is 79,300. So since it sits one step below the flip, same setup as Nifty. Hold the flip, drift to the pin. Lose the flip, magnet to 79,000. That is the play.

What does that mean? It means that 79,000 is your buy on dip first, then your 79,300 gets activated, the flip occurs, and that is where 79,500 can be seen. So strategy for tomorrow. If Nifty holds 24,400 and Sensex holds 79,300, sell the 79,500 straddle into Thursday. Theta plus pin is what we are trying to play for. Sellers win. If we lose the flip on either index, do not sell. The magnet activates and the straddle blows up before the pin can pay.

Infosys post close is a wildcard earnings. So let's see how it
