Though the long-term outlook for Reliance Industries (₹1,246) remains positive, in the short term, it may remain volatile with a negative bias.
The stock faces an immediate support at ₹1,220, and a close below that will drag it towards ₹1,108 or even to ₹1,027.
A close below the latter will alter even the long-term bullish view. On the other hand, a close above ₹1,372 will trigger a fresh rally.
F&O Pointers: Open interests remain stable at around 4.2 crore despite the stock remaining under pressure in the past few days.
Options trading indicates a range of ₹1,200-1,400 for the stock.
Strategy: Traders could consider a bear put spread on RIL. This can be done by buying the ₹1,260 put and simultaneously selling the ₹1,220 put. These options closed with a premium of ₹50.5 and ₹33.05, which means one has to shell out ₹17.45 a contract.
The maximum loss would be ₹8,725 as the market lot is 500 units, and that will happen if the stock rises and closes above ₹1,260 at the time of expiry.
A maximum profit of ₹11,275 is possible if RIL closes below ₹1,220.
We advise traders to hold the position till expiry. Traders should bear it in mind that selling options costs higher margin commitments.
