Best Day of Week to Trade Nifty Options?
Monday gap behaviour, mid-week drift, and Thursday expiry dynamics — what session data tends to show.
Weekly Rhythm
Mondays often absorb weekend news — gaps and volatility cluster. Mid-week can mean-revert if Monday established range. Thursdays dominate weekly expiry flow on Nifty — gamma and max pain effects intensify.
