Start looking for highest Volume and highest Open Interest ON Call side for the strike prices above today’s closing i.e. the Red line we marked earlier.

Use support levels to take Long position (Buy Call) and use Resistance levels to take Sell position (Buy Put). You can also set your target and stop loss by using these levels. For example if you Buy Call at Support 1 then your target will be Resistance 1 and Resistance 2 and your stop loss is Support 2 and vice versa.

To make right decision observe how prices react at support and resistance levels. It is often seen that prices tend to bounce back from support levels and tend to reverse from resistance level. In addition use MACD cross over and Bollinger band to support your decision.

Conclusion:

It is important to remember that stock market is unpredictable but the above method gives you an idea of possible price movement.

  1. You could never find the words to describe how much I loved you. No matter how beautiful the picture is or how polished your writing is, you read it quickly. To be honest, I think you should give it another chance soon. I will probably try to go on this hike again and again if you make sure it is safe.
