Nifty Bank Outlook - (22227)
Yesterday, Bank Nifty too started on a positive note however this
was followed by an intra-day dip. This dip got bought into in the
second half as bank nifty moved towards the high point of the day
to eventually end with gains of 1.49% at 22227.20
After a long time, Bank Nifty and banking stocks finally showed
outperformance in yesterday's session. On the daily chart, we are
witnessing a fresh buy crossover in RSI Smoothened
indicating that we may see some catch-up rally in bank nifty in the
near term after its recent underperformance. In such scenario, the
next resistance is placed around 22450 and 22670 levels whereas
support is placed around 22040 and 21922 levels. Traders can
have a stock-specific long approach from this basket however as
said above one should avoid aggressive bets.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 22040 Resistance 1 – 22450
Support 2 – 21922 Resistance 2 – 22670

Sensex (38407) / Nifty (11323)
Similar to previous session, yesterday too we had a gap up opening
in the wake of relentless run in Global peers and this time it was on
account of Russia claiming the vaccine for COVID-19. Subsequently,
our markets cooled off a bit after the initial upmove; but once again
regained strength in the latter half. Eventually, the Nifty ended the
session above the 11300 mark.
In last couple of sessions, although the undercurrent has been
positive, index is clearly lacking the momentum; because the real
focus has shifted to the individual stocks, especially from the
broader market. In fact yesterday, the banking space was the real
charioteer as it kept showing sheer outperformance throughout the
day. With all due respect to such positivity, we still remain a bit
skeptical and would continue advocating caution around current
levels. In such kind of euphoric situation, it is hard to take such view
but the way overall things are panning out, does not give us comfort
at all. In last four months, we never sounded such cautious, in fact
strongly advised using all decline to go long; but we do not maintain
the similar opinion now.
Exhibit 2: Nifty Bank Daily Chart
As far as levels are concerned, Nifty is still finding it very difficult to
surpass 11350 convincingly and hence 11350-11400 remains to be
a sturdy wall. On the downside, 11300-11238 are the levels to watch
out for. At present, traders are advised to focus on individual stocks
but aggressive bets should ideally be avoided.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 11300 Resistance 1 – 11350
Support 2 – 11238 Resistance 2 – 11400
