Why 6,800 matters
It is a key psychological and options-heavy strike.
Without a fresh catalyst or strong mega-cap leadership, rallies into this zone tend to meet supply.
Pinning vs swings
Base case: Pinning dominates. Heavy near-dated options exposure typically pulls price towards the strike into the close, producing narrow ranges and late-session mean reversion.
Alternative: Swings dominate only if volatility expands, for example via a sharp move in yields or a large-cap driven flow. Even then, upside breaks risk being brief without volume follow-through.
Expectation
Intraday probes above 6,800 are possible.
A sustained close above 6,800 requires clear volume expansion.
Risk-reward currently favours patience over chasing a breakout.
Bottom line: Pinning pressure slightly outweighs directional conviction today, making a marginal or failed break more likely than a decisive close above 6,800.
