How to Trade Muhurat Session 2026? 5-Year Data Backtested

Описание: Muhurat Trading 2026: Nifty, Sensex, Gold and Crude Oil analysis based on historical data from 2020 to 2025. In this episode of Backtested by Groww, we examine market movements across the three trading days before Muhurat, the Muhurat Trading session, and the following ten trading days.

Nifty and Sensex opened with a positive gap in all six Muhurat sessions, with average opening gaps of 0.59% and 0.68%, respectively. However, both indices closed below their opening prices in five of those six sessions. Crude Oil showed a different intraday pattern: it closed above its opening price in five sessions, with an average gain of approximately 1%. Gold showed mixed direction, while its trading range widened sharply in 2025.

We explain how these observations relate to Muhurat Trading strategies, including bullish spreads for an expected gap-up, bear call credit spreads for limited upside, and range-based approaches such as short straddles, short strangles, iron condors and iron flies. The video covers entry timing, defined-risk options structures, position sizing, and the difference between an opening gap and an intraday move.

The ten-day post-Muhurat results were evenly split between gains and losses across all four instruments, showing no consistent directional pattern in this sample.
