Utilize the IV crush; Option traders recommend Iron condor strategy for this week

The next target is set at 23,500 in the coming days, according to Santosh Pasi, Founder of Pasi Technologies. However, whether it will continue to rise afterward is uncertain," said Kirubakaran Rajendran, derivatives trader and Founder of Squareoffbots.com. If you are an options trader, try to profit from the IV crush, which is the VIX falling. For options sellers, Rajendran recommends an Iron Condor strategy. "They can short 500-1000 points away from OTM options and buy a hedge 100 points away from the current Nifty price," he said.

At 15:08 hrs IST, the Sensex was up 2,407.33 points or 3.25 percent at 76,368.64, and the Nifty was up 710.80 points or 3.15 percent at 23,241.50.

Nifty is trading at a record high at 22,300. The next target is set at 23,500 in the coming days, according to Santosh Pasi, Founder of Pasi Technologies. He expects another 2-3 percent rise in Nifty in this week.

"We are in a complete bull run. Post exit polls, there is usually a rally, and we have already seen a portion of the movement today. Tomorrow, if the market aligns with the exit polls, it can definitely move up. However, whether it will continue to rise afterward is uncertain," said Kirubakaran Rajendran, derivatives trader and Founder of Squareoffbots.com.

"Tomorrow's expectation could be similar to the 2019 gap up, where the market moved up initially and then started going down with trades going flat. If you are an options trader, try to profit from the IV crush, which is the VIX falling. VIX is expected to crash by 20-30 percent for tomorrow and the coming days. Option selling to benefit trades the next few sessions" Rajendran added.

For options sellers, Rajendran recommends an Iron Condor strategy. "They can short 500-1000 points away from OTM options and buy a hedge 100 points away from the current Nifty price," he said.
