A recent video repeated the 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 tracks the Nifty’s move towards 26,000 and also outlines 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 stated to be about 200 points below the prior high of 61,765. The video includes 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 anticipated, rallying sharply from the week’s lows. With Foreign Institutional Investors being net buyers of over ₹15,000 crore in the first half of February, the underlying trend is strong. This suggests traders should favor bullish strategies, such as buying call options or futures on any minor dips.
For Nifty, the march towards 26,000 is the primary scenario traders should play for. Option chain data for the monthly expiry shows the highest concentration of open interest at the 26000 Call strike, which will be a key psychological level to watch. Significant Put writing at the 25500 strike has created a strong support base for the index.
Volatility Options Strategy
BankNifty is showing even greater strength, nearing its all-time high of 61765. A breakout above this level could trigger significant short-covering and accelerate the upward move. Traders should be prepared for increased volatility as the index approaches this critical resistance zone.
The India VIX has dropped to around 13, which makes buying options relatively less expensive. This environment is favorable for traders looking to build long positions through call options. Alternatively, the low volatility also makes selling out-of-the-money puts a viable strategy to collect premium.
This upward drive is supported by strong macroeconomic data, with Q3 GDP growth for the 2025 financial year having come in at a robust 7.8%. This rally represents a powerful recovery following the period of consolidation we witnessed in the final quarter of 2025. The current momentum suggests domestic factors are now firmly in the driver’s seat.
