Technical & Derivatives Report
The banking index opened marginally in the green along with the
benchmark index. Without wasting any time, we witnessed
continuation of the northward trajectory, courtesy to some of the
heavyweight banking names. In fact the momentum kept on
accelerating as the day progressed to eventually conclude the day
with over couple of percent gains. The Bank Nifty finally managed
to surpass its recent high and thereby marking a higher close in
last three months. Also, it’s about to traverse it ‘89-day EMA’,
which would then reinforce the upward momentum. Hence the
coming session would be quite crucial for this high beta tradable
index. We continue to remain upbeat and advocate buying on
declines around 22000-21800. The strong support zone would
now be seen at 21600-21400 and on the flipside, 22500-22800
would be the levels to watch out for.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 22000 Resistance 1 – 22500
Support 2 – 21800 Resistance 2 – 22800
Exhibit 1: Nifty Daily Chart
Nifty started trading marginally positive in yesterday’s session.
The initial dip around 10300 in first hour of the trade was bought
into and then we witnessed a gradual upmove throughout the
day. The momentum accelerated in the last hour of the trade with
support of index heavyweights and Nifty ended the day with gains
of over one and a half percent.
The index has been forming a ‘Higher Top Higher Bottom’
structure and the broader markets have done considerably well in
last few sessions. The upmove in index supported by a broader
market participation is certainly an encouraging sign and hence,
we have been optimistic on the market and have been advising to
use dips as buying opportunity. Last few day’s have been traders
delight as the midcap and small cap names (along with the
banking and NBFC space) have provided good trading
opportunities. As of now, there are no signs on reversal and hence,
one should keep focusing on stock picking from a momentum
perspective. Just one caveat that we would like to highlight is the
formation of a ‘Wolfe Wave’ structure on daily chart of Nifty and
resistance according to the pattern is seen around 10550-10600.
We would see how the index behaves around this juncture in next
couple of sessions. Until any reversal signs seen, traders are
advised to take a stock specific approach and trade with a positive
bias. The intraday supports for Nifty are placed around 10390 and
10300 whereas resistance is seen in the range of 10550-10600.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 10390 Resistance 1 – 10550
Support 2 – 10300 Resistance 2 – 10600
