The index closed even below the 7050-mark, which at least I was not anticipating.

It was total capitulation by the bulls in the late session. The put option writers hurriedly scurried for cover. While at one point of time the fresh addition of open interest (OI) above 2 million units for strike prices from 6900 through 7100, at the end it was a little over 6.25 lakh units. More revealing picture comes through the 7100-call option for February series, it has added 866025 units and the last closing price had been only 60.80—this means these call option writers are ready to carry the call option sold position for a cover of up to the level of just 7161 for the Nifty. In fact, call option writers had been hyperactive: 7200-strike call added more than 1.44 million units.
Situation is rank bad—it suggests that prospect of further serious damage looms large going forward. It looks as if the last weekly closing level of 6980 is taken out it could be headed for a range between 6816 and 6667. Now, it is more likely that all intraday rallies would get sold off.

Resistances: 7150, 7200, 7350
