Pre-market trade setup: Despite consolidation, equity benchmarks continued their upward trajectory, concluding the opening session of the current week on a positive note on May 21, extending the uptrend for a fourth consecutive day. On the closing day, the Nifty 50 was able to maintain its hold on 22,500 for an additional trading day. The daily charts displayed a bullish candlestick pattern, and the relative strength index (RSI), a momentum indicator, showed a positive crossing. On the hourly charts, however, the RSI showed a negative crossover along with a further steep spike in volatility, suggesting consolidation in the upcoming sessions prior to continuing its march toward a record high.

When the PCR rises, either over 0.7 or above 1, it signifies that traders are selling more Put options than Call options, a sign that the market’s bullish attitude is solidifying. Indicating a bearish sentiment in the market, the ratio suggests that selling in calls is greater than selling inputs when it drops below 0.7 or approaches 0.5.
