Technical & Derivatives Report
Nifty Bank Outlook - (21034)
During last week, Bank Nifty started the session with a gap up
opening and rallied sharply to register high over 21600 during
mid-week. Although the index gave up some of the gains on
Thursday, the momentum resumed on the last trading session of
the week and the index posted whopping gains of 9 percent. Post
a minor intra week correction, Bank Nifty resumed its momentum
on Friday's session with a broad participation from stocks within
the sector. After a long time, the PSU Banking space too witnessed
a sharp price upmove with good volumes and the way banking
space has seen participation in the last couple of weeks, it
indicates that the index is showing a catch up rally to the
recent underperformance. SGX Nifty is indicating a gap up
opening for our markets this week too which should lead to a
continuation of the short term trend. Hence, traders are advised
to continue to trade with a positive bias for near term targets
around 21970 followed by 22700. The immediate support for the
index is placed around 20600.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 20750 Resistance 1 – 21970
Support 2 – 20600 Resistance 2 – 22700

Sensex (34287) / Nifty (10142)
It was certainly a great start for the new trading week as well as
the June month. Last month, there was a gap down opening at the
inaugural day and on Monday, precisely that downside gap area
was filled to kick off the new month. Our markets continued their
upwards trajectory to enter a five digit territory beyond 10000
after nearly three months. After a good head start, markets took a
pause and saw some profit booking for couple of days. But
without much damage, the buying re-emerged at lower levels on
Friday to conclude the week with whopping 6% gains from the
previous weekly close.
Technically speaking, Monday’s gap up opening turned out to be
a game changer for the bulls. Because After the April month
ecstatic move, May started with some negativity and the same
precisely got reversed with such bump up. Since the previous gap
was filled by yet another gap, this time bears got caught
completely on the wrong foot. Now looking at the current set up,
we remain upbeat as long as 9900 holds on a sustainable basis
and this is what we alluded post Thursday’s close as well. Since the
recent move was mainly propelled by the banking space, we were
convinced of the rally in last couple of weeks. Now along with
banking, we could see contribution from the broader market too,
indicating sign of a robust move. Last week, although we
struggled at 10200, the positioning of RSI-Smoothened indicates
possibility of extending this move towards 10500-10700 levels.
Hence traders are continuously advised to stay on the positive
side as long as 9900 is being held.

Apart from this, we take this opportunity to highlight some notable
observations. If we look at two major global indices, DOW JONES
and DAX, both have retraced almost 78% from the March lows but
we are trading tad above 50%. Hence, if we have to see the catch up
move, mentioned levels are very much on cards now.
