    A recent video repeated this message: “Buy the tickets, don’t just watch the flight take off from the runway.” Since Monday, 16 February 2026, the Nifty has risen about 350–400 points from the 25,370 low. The video follows the Nifty’s move toward 26,000 and also explains an alternate scenario. It also covers the Bank Nifty moving above 60,900 and reaching 61,500.

    Nifty Bank Nifty Key Levels

    Bank Nifty is about 200 points below the prior high of 61,765. The video also shares an update on Waree Energies after a sharp rally. It also reviews Tata Steel, Bandhan Bank, and IFCI. The market has confirmed the bullish momentum we expected, with a strong rally from the week’s lows. Foreign Institutional Investors were net buyers of more than ₹15,000 crore in the first half of February, which supports the uptrend. Because of this, traders can focus on bullish setups, such as buying call options or futures on small dips. For Nifty, the main scenario is a move toward 26,000. Monthly expiry option-chain data shows the highest open interest at the 26000 Call strike, making 26,000 a key psychological level. Heavy Put writing at 25,500 has also created a strong support zone for the index.

    Volatility Options Strategy

    BankNifty is even stronger and is close to its all-time high of 61,765. A breakout above this level may trigger short-covering and speed up the rally. Traders should expect higher volatility as the index tests this resistance area. India VIX has dropped to around 13, so options are relatively cheaper. This is a good setup for traders who want to build long positions using call options. At the same time, low volatility can also support selling out-of-the-money puts to collect premium. Strong macro data also backs this move. Q3 GDP growth for FY2025 came in at a solid 7.8%. This rally is a clear recovery after the consolidation seen in the last quarter of 2025. Current momentum suggests domestic factors are now leading the trend. Create your live VT Markets account and start trading now.
