Settlement still via closing auction.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Nifty expiry today, Tuesday 6 October, comes after the index closed at 22,555.75 on 5 October, up 133.80 points or 0.60%, with India VIX near 14.7 and an at-the-money straddle of about 158 points pointing to a range of roughly 22,400 to 22,715. Support is at 22,500 and 22,400 on the put side and at 22,200 as the key zone, while resistance sits at 22,610, with the heaviest call open interest near 22,800 and a close above 23,000 to 23,100 needed to turn the trend. Expiry settlement still uses the closing auction, which pushed the Nifty&#8217;s indicative close down 2.2% on 29 September before it recovered, so late-session swings remain a risk until SEBI&#8217;s reported change to a 30-minute VWAP by end-October. Traders also face the RBI policy on 7 October and TCS results on 8 October, so levels should be treated as reference points, not forecasts.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Nifty expiry today falls on Tuesday, 6 October, when weekly Nifty options settle, one day before the RBI monetary policy decision. The index ended the last session at 22,555.75 after snapping a four-day losing run, with the Sensex at 72,382.47 and FIIs net sellers of Rs 4,699 crore.<\/p>\n<p>If you are searching for the Nifty expiry prediction and levels, this article covers the previous close, Nifty support and resistance levels such as 22,500, 22,200 and 22,800, option chain signals, the India VIX and straddle range, Bank Nifty levels, the closing auction risk on expiry, the event calendar including TCS results, scenarios and the risks. Levels are from market data and technical providers, and they change intraday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a
