Jaiswal’s SBI futures options prediction for tomorrow places Rs 982.20 as the key first 15-minute candle confirmation level.

Bull Strategy: Buy ATM CE on Gap-Up Above Rs 982.20

If SBI opens above Rs 982.20 on the GIFT Nifty +215 gap-up and the first 15-minute candle holds, buy the ATM CE for the 26 May monthly series targeting Rs 988.99. Stop loss: SBI drops below Rs 957.00.
