Indian market is likely to trade higher on Monday tracking positive global cues.

The Nifty future closed positive with gains of 0.32% at 22126 levels on Friday. India VIX was up by 3.20% from 12.88 to 13.46 levels. Volatility rose during the week but is comparatively still at lower levels.

On the options front, the maximum Call OI is placed at 22,500 and then towards 22200 strikes while the maximum Put OI is placed at 22,000 and then towards 21,800 strikes.

Minor Call writing is seen at 22500 and then towards 22600 strikes while Put writing is seen at 21900 and then towards 22000 strikes.

"Options data suggests a broader trading range in between 21700 to 22500 zones while an immediate trading range in between 21900 to 22350 zones," Chandan Taparia, Analyst-Derivatives at Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited, said.

"Nifty formed a Bearish candle with a longer lower shadow on the weekly frame on Friday but a bullish candle on daily scale which indicates support-based buying is intact," he said.

"Now Nifty has to cross and hold above 22222 for an up move towards 22350 then 22500 zones whereas supports are placed at 22000 then 21900 zones," recommended Tapria.

The Nifty OIPCR has seen an improvement from Thursday's 0.8 to 0.94 levels on Friday. Bank Nifty* PCR has seen a sharp improvement from 0.66 levels to 1.

"Crossover above 22340 on the Nifty50 would lead to short-covering amongst call writers of 22200-22300 strikes, which could open up gates for 22450-22500 zone on the upside," Sudeep Shah, Deputy Vice President, Head of Technical and Derivative Research, SBI Securities, said.

"Below 21940, the index could retest its crucial support zone at 21750-21770 zone, which is also the previous month's swing low," he said.
