Technical & Derivatives Report
Exhibit 1: Nifty Daily Chart
The BankNifty began the week slightly lower and fresh selling
pressure was witnessed from the word go to drag the index 34400
mark. Post some consolidation, the demand picked-up and smart
recovery was seen to almost reclaim 35000. Finally, we ended the
volatile day with the cut of 0.28% tad below 35000 mark.
Recently, the banking index has been taking support around the
20 DEMA. Yesterday, we saw index breaching this support zone due
to sharp sell-off seen in the initial hour of trade; however, the
BankNifty managed to recoup all the losses to close above the 20
DEMA and its previous breakout levels seen at the previous swing
high around 34300 and has ended around the highest point
forming a ‘Dragon Fly Doji’. As mentioned above, if the Bank Nifty
manages to break above 35350 then we may see a bounce-
back move in this space that can fuel the next leg of the rally for
the Nifty. At this point in time, we would stick to our recent advise
of being light in index.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 34500 Resistance 1 – 35350
Support 2 – 34300 Resistance 2 – 35500
Exhibit 2: Nifty Bank Daily Chart
We continue to believe that being selective and avoiding aggressive
bets remains a pragmatic approach. As far as levels are concerned,
15730 followed by 15600 remains strong support whereas on the
flip side, every 100 points should be treated as immediate resistance
and now these levels come to 15900 – 16000.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 15730 Resistance 1 – 15900
Support 2 – 15600 Resistance 2 – 16000
Our markets started the fresh week on a flat note; however, before
anyone could realize Nifty was down around 200 points within the
first half an hour to test the levels of 15600. This was followed by a
bounce back and then consolidation for the major part of the first
half. Subsequently, in the second half bulls again picked up
momentum to erase all the morning losses and ended marginally in
the green tad above 15800 levels.
Technically, not much has changed from Friday’s close and in fact, the
Nifty has been hovering around the 15800 mark for the last one
week. If we observe the intraday hourly chart, the Nifty is gyrating
within a range where 15600 is acting as strong support whereas on
the higher side some tentativeness is seen around the 15800 levels.
The bulls are still adamant as one or another sector is holding the
markets up and dips are getting bought. However, we continue to
have a view that if the benchmark has to test the levels of 16000 and
beyond then the banking space needs to participate which has been
an underperformer recently. Having said that, the Bank Nifty
managed to hold on to its previous breakout levels seen at the
previous swing high around 34300 and has ended around the highest
point forming a ‘Dragon Fly Doji’. For the coming sessions, if the Bank
Nifty manages to break above 35350 then we may see a bounce-
back move in the banking space that can fuel the next leg of the rally
for the benchmark. However, if it fails then we may continue to see
lethargic moves in the Nifty.
