On Friday, Bank Nifty started on a flat note and then remained
within a range throughout the sessions to eventually end flat with
marginal loss at 31226.
On the daily chart, the trading range has got coiled as the bank
index is trading within a very tight range of 31000 - 31500 and we
sense the next directional move can only be seen on a range
breakout from the mentioned levels. Inspite of range bound
moves in the bank index we witnessed a good stock specific move
within this space and on Friday the PSU banks were in a buzz.
Going ahead, one can continue with the stock specific trades as
they are likely to give opportunities on both sides of trend and
while doing so one should keep a tab on the above mentioned
range.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 31000 Resistance 1 – 31500
Support 2 – 30880 Resistance 2 – 31800

The mankind had to witness a lot of unprecedented things in the
year gone by. Initially it was very difficult to adjust with the forceful
changes in our lives; but we always try to make our own ways in all
the difficulties and this is exactly what has been proven all these
months. The year 2020 was full of shocks and surprises; but as we
always say “All’s well that ends well”. We not only stabilized from the
March chaos but also managed to give a stupendous v-shaped
recovery in the last nine months to even surpass pre-COVID highs
with some authority.
During
the
concluding
week
of
the
calendar
year,
Nifty added
another couple of percent to Bulls’ kitty and importantly reached yet
another milestone of 14000. Now, there are lots of expectations built
as we step into the New Year. With a broader view, there is no
brainer, we are heading for much bigger levels from here on; but it
would be unfair to expect the similar kind of linear move that we
have been enjoying since early November. In between, markets are
likely to give some corrections, which would be a healthy sign. For
this week, we expect the Nifty to slowly and gradually head towards
14150-14200; whereas the key support zone is placed at 13950 -
13850 levels.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 13950 Resistance 1 – 14150
Support 2 – 13850 Resistance2 – 14200
During the last week, although there was some muted action seen
in key indices, the broader market just took off in the last couple of
days. Hence, the real action lies in the broader end of the spectrum,
which may continue to provide better trading opportunities. Traders
are advised to keep focusing on thematic bets and should ideally
avoid aggressive bets in indices.
