Nifty Bank Outlook - (22833)
Bank Nifty too started with a gap up opening and with positive
momentum throughout the session ended with gains of 2.39% at
22833. On the daily chart, the bank index has finally broken above
22500 levels which was previously acting as stiff resistance for the
last one month. The said breakout is supported with a gap that
can be termed as a breakaway gap. Yesterday, Bank Index
outperformed the benchmark index and the way some of the
banking stocks are placed it seems we may continue to see
outperformance in the bank index for the next few sessions that
can be taken as a catch-up rally to its recent underperformance.
In such scenario, previous resistance around 22500 can act as
support followed by gap support at 22344. On the flip side,
immediate resistance is seen around 23000 and 23200 levels.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 22500 Resistance 1 – 23000
Support 2 – 22344 Resistance 2 – 23200

Sensex (38799) / Nifty (11466)
Markets across the globe were quite cheerful yesterday morning and
hence, we too started off higher above the 11400 mark. As the day
progressed, the positive momentum reinforced after a brief pause;
courtesy to smart surge in banking conglomerates. Eventually, the
benchmark continued it’s march towards 11500, marking highest
level since March fiasco.
Since last a week or so, we are sounding a bit cautious on the market.
But it seems that market is in no mood to give any sort of correction.
Actually, on the domestic front, there is no negative news flow which
is considered as positive and most importantly, major global
markets are clearly unstoppable, which is driving our markets higher.
Although we have actively participated in the recent midcap rally,
we still continue to be a watchful and would advise taking some
money off the table. Because when markets are giving such gravity
defying moves, nobody knows when and what’s going to trigger a
correction. And whenever it happens, it just comes as a surprise.
With a broader view, we remain extremely sanguine but do not want
to become complacent here and hence would advise against
aggressive longs in the market.
As far as levels are concerned, 11450-11500 is an extended zone
for us but with the flow, if it extends further, then we continue to
advise booking profits in case if Nifty heads towards 11550-11625.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 11410 Resistance 1 – 11550
Support 2 – 11360 Resistance 2 – 11625
