What Does Technical Setup Indicate for Adani Ports and SEZ This Week?
How Traders Can Use Put Options to Navigate the Neutral Outlook
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) shares closed at ₹1,409.40 with a neutral technical outlook. Immediate support levels are seen at ₹1,365 and ₹1,300, while resistance stands near ₹1,436. A close above this level can confirm renewed bullish momentum and trigger another rally. Conversely, a breach below ₹1,300 may turn the longer-term view negative.
In the F&O segment, Adani Ports October futures ended at ₹1,417.30 compared to a spot price of ₹1,409.40, reflecting a small premium — suggesting some long build-up. However, open interest declined alongside price correction last week, pointing to cautious sentiment. Option data indicates a broad trading range between ₹1,300 and ₹1,600.

Traders may consider buying the 1,420 put option, which last closed at ₹28.85. With a market lot of 475 shares, the total cost comes to ₹13,703.75 — representing the maximum loss if the stock remains above ₹1,420. This strategy provides limited downside exposure and potential gains if weakness extends.
Traders are advised to hold the position with an initial stop-loss at ₹15, raising it to ₹27 if APSEZ opens weak. A target of ₹35 can be expected on a downward breakout. Discipline in stop-loss management is key to protecting profits. However, if the stock opens sharply lower, traders should avoid initiating this position.
The broader market sentiment around the Adani Group remains stable, with derivatives showing moderate volatility. Maintaining a balanced approach through option hedging can help avoid emotional decision-making during short-term price fluctuations.
For active traders, reviewing current derivative signals in Nifty Tip and BankNifty Tip helps identify real-time sentiment shifts, ensuring trades remain aligned with index momentum.
A follow-up on Bajaj Finserv shows that the stock moved sharply higher, eroding the put option’s premium and likely triggering the stop-loss. Traders still holding positions should consider exiting. This underlines why dynamic stop-loss adjustment is essential in options trading.
Investor Takeaway
Indian-Share-Tips.com Nifty Expert Gulshan Khera, CFP®, who is also a SEBI Regd Investment Adviser, observes that APSEZ remains technically neutral within a wide range. Option strategies can provide tactical exposure, but traders must maintain strict discipline on entry and exit. For positional investors, ₹1,300 remains the key long-term support to monitor closely.
