Technical & Derivatives Report
Following the positive momentum from the previous session, the
bank index started on a positive note however it failed to hold on
the higher levels and slipped lower to end flat tad above 21500
levels.
On Tuesday, Bank Nifty defended the key support of swing low
at 21000 and triggered a smart bounce back. However, ahead of
the key RBI policy, the bank index witnessed a volatile session in
yesterday's session. Going ahead, we sense as long 21000 levels
are defended we are likely to see dips getting bought into. In such
a scenario, 21350 and 21200 levels are likely to act as immediate
intraday support. On the flip side, immediate resistance is placed
around 21750 and 22000 levels. On the policy day, traders are
advised to have a stock-specific approach from the basket with
proper exit set up.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 21350 Resistance 1 – 21750
Support 2 – 21200 Resistance 2 – 22000

Sensex (37663) / Nifty (11102)
We had a v-shaped recovery on Tuesday to recoup Monday’s entire
losses. Since the broader market was on a recovery mode; courtesy
to decent rebound in banking stocks, the stage was all set for a
positive start yesterday. Very much in-line with this, our markets
opened higher and then continued it’s move northwards to surpass
the 11200 mark in initial hours. However, all of a sudden, the Nifty
took a complete nosedive not only to wipe off gains but also to
sneak inside the negative terrain. After this, the market kept gyrating
in a band of 90 points with some volatility to conclude on a flat note
at 11100.
Yesterday’s wild swings had nothing to do with global peers;
because they have been trading firmly in the green since morning.
In fact, traders were completely clueless about such wild swings.
May be, this indecision has something to do with the RBI monetary
policy slated today. Now as far as levels are concerned, 11020
followed by 10900 remains to be an immediate support zone and
on the upside, 11160 – 11235 are the levels to watch out for. As of
now, there is no hint of the market experiencing a big bang move
on the policy day but in case if it happens, then a directional move
is possible only outside the range of 11235 – 10900.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 11000 Resistance 1 – 11160
Support 2 – 10900 Resistance 2 – 11235

Although markets were a bit lethargic in the latter half, the action
was not at all missing in individual stocks. In fact, we would rather
rate it as one of the best days for stock specific moves in the last few
days. The Metal and Auto counters had spectacular moves along
with broader market participation. In fact, taking a glance at the Nifty
Midcap 50 index, further up move of nearly 2% would lead to a
strong breakout in this space. Hence, even if the benchmark index
consolidates, traders should not miss stupendous moves in
individual stocks especially from Midcap universe.
