F&O Strategy: Latent View to ICICI Bank— Rupak De suggests buy or sell strategy for THESE stocks
Starting the day with optimism, the Sensex surged remarkably, jumping 1,793.73 points to reach 81,248.20 in early trading. The Nifty 50 mirrored this momentum, climbing 553.25 points to hit 24,561.25. As the day progressed, the BSE benchmark continued to rally, trading 1,949.62 points higher at 81,398.91, while the Nifty 50 marked a significant rise of 598.90 points to 24,606.90.
On the F&O segment, Rupak De of LKP Securities, has suggested Latent View Analytics Ltd, ICICI Bank Ltd, and Gujarat State Petronet Ltd (GSPL) shares to buy or sell. Here's what De says about the overall market and stocks.
Nifty 50 traders seemed to adopt a risk-off approach amid rising India-Pakistan tensions, leading the index to slip from its recent consolidation range. Despite the decline, the Nifty 50 held above the 24,000 level, finding support near the 21-day exponential moving average (EMA). In the near term, bears may try to drive the index below the 24,000 mark to strengthen their position. A decisive break below 23,900 could trigger increased bearish activity. On the upside, 24,250 is likely to serve as immediate resistance, and a move above this level could lift market sentiment.
Open Interest Analysis: Significant open interest additions were seen in Calls and Puts of 24,000 strike. Maximum Call writing seen at 24,500 strike while, maximum Put writing was visible at 24,000.
Strategy: Sentiment is likely to weaken below 24,000.
Trade: Buy Nifty 50 15May 23,900PE ABOVE 185 TGT 250 SL 144.
Latent View share price has seen renewed buying interest, driving the price upward. With the stock trading above its moving average, the short-term trend remains positive. Bullish crossovers in momentum indicators on the daily chart support further upside potential. The stock is likely to test the ₹ 440 level if the current momentum continues.
ICICI Bank share price has pulled back after hitting a new high and consolidating around ₹ 1,450. The recent drop below the 23.80% Fibonacci retracement suggests growing bearish sentiment. Weak buying interest at higher levels points to further downside toward ₹ 1,360, with resistance likely near ₹ 1,416.
GSPL share price has formed a bullish Piercing Line candlestick pattern on the daily chart, indicating a possible rebound. A move above the 21-day EMA further confirms a short-term uptrend. Sentiment remains constructive, with the stock poised to reach ₹ 338. Key support lies at ₹ 313.

"On 22nd April, terrorists crossed the border and committed a massacre in Pahalgam, killing people after asking their religion, shooting husbands in front of their wives, and executing fathers in front of their children. The entire nation was filled with outrage, and the whole world was shocked by such a massacre... Operation Sindoor was the expression of that outrage," Modi said. He praised the Indian defence forces for their action and insisted that the military had been given a free hand in formulating its strategy, choosing targets and the time of action. "Penetrating hundreds of kilometres into enemy territory, they reduced terrorist headquarters to rubble and turned terrorist headquarters into ruins. Pakistan is still not able to sleep. The devastation in Pakistan has been so huge that every day brings new revelations and fresh information," he said. Live Events "Those who nurture and harbour terrorism, and those who empower terrorists, will no longer be seen as separate. They are all equal enemies of humanity, with no distinction between them. Bharat has now decided that we will no longer tolerate these nuclear threats. The nuclear blackmail that has gone on for so long will no longer be endured. If our enemies continue this attempt in the future, our defence forces will decide on its own terms, at the time of its choosing, in the manner it deems fit, and target the objectives it selects, and we will act accordingly. We will give a fitting and crushing response," Modi said. He reiterated the stand on the Indus Waters Treaty , saying blood and water cannot flow together.
