F&O Strategy: Buy Power Grid put
- Nearest resistance levels are ₹306 and ₹327. A close above the latter will confirm the bullish view and reignite a fresh rally.
- F&O pointers: Power Grid April futures closed at ₹291.70 against the spot price of ₹290.35, maintaining a small premium. Option trading indicates that it could move in the ₹285-300 range.
- Strategy: Consider buying 290-put (April expiry) of Power Grid. This option closed with a premium of ₹7.20 on Friday. As the market lot is 1,800 shares, a long position on this contract at ₹7.20 would cost ₹12,960.
- The maximum loss will be the premium paid (i.e. ₹12,960) and that will happen if Power Grid moves up sharply from the current level. The breakeven point is ₹282.80.
