Will Nifty Extend Its Rally on 2 July After Bullish Option Chain Signals?
The Nifty ended the session on a strong note, gaining 0.59% after sustaining above the psychologically important 24,000 mark for most of the trading session. Positive price action was accompanied by improving option chain data, suggesting that market participants continue to maintain a constructive outlook for the next trading session.
While Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) continued to provide strong buying support. The options market also reflected a bullish undertone, with Put writers showing greater confidence than Call writers.

Investor Takeaway
Indian-Share-Tips.com Nifty Expert Gulshan Khera, CFP®, who is also a SEBI Regd Investment Adviser, observes that the option chain continues to favour the bulls with higher Put writing, a PCR above 1 and sustained buying by domestic institutions. However, the 24,000 level remains a key pivot. A sustained move above 24,170 could strengthen bullish momentum further, while a fall below 23,855 may invite short-term profit booking. Traders should monitor institutional flows, option positioning and global market cues before initiating fresh positions.
