Technical & Derivatives Report
Following the breakout momentum from the previous session, the
bank index witnessed a gap up opening in yesterday's session, and
after witnessing swings within a range ended with gains of 1.13%
at 23092. In our yesterday's outlook, we had mentioned that the
bank index is likely to outperform and this is exactly what we saw
in yesterday's session. On the daily chart, the bank index has now
approached its previous swing high at 23211 that can be taken as
a make or break point. If prices manage to sustain or close above
23200 - 23250 zone then we may see outperformance of banking
stocks that can be taken as a catch-up move to its recent
underperformance. However, if it fails to break then it may lead
to correction in broader markets. As far as support levels are
concerned, immediate support is placed around 22830 followed
by 22500.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 22830 Resistance 1 – 23250
Support 2 – 22500 Resistance 2 – 23480
Exhibit 1: Nifty Daily Chart
Sensex (38844) / Nifty (11472)
Global markets are clearly enjoying their dream run and the winning
streak continued previous night and yesterday morning aswell. As a
result, despite SGX Nifty indicating a sluggish start, our markets
opened higher above the 11500 mark. However, Nifty failed to
extend the optimism as we saw couple of sharp swings of profit
booking from day’s high. Fortunately, we managed to defend key
levels and with the help of a gradual recovery towards the fag end,
the Nifty ended session with negligible gains.
Although we have been sounding a bit cautious since last week or
so, market didn’t look tired at any point; but yesterday for the first
day, we witnessed some fatigue in Nifty at higher levels. Technically
speaking, we observed a ‘Bearish Wolfe Wave’ on hourly chart and
precisely from the Potential Reversal Zone of this pattern, we
witnessed some profit booking in the market. Till now, we were only
making our assumptions but now we can see a defined level on
chart, which can trigger some weakness in Nifty. This level is at
11420, which is yesterday’s low as well. Going ahead, a sustainable
move below this point should be considered as an exit opportunity
for existing longs and aggressive traders can opt to short as well.
Below this, 11350-11300 are the next levels to watch out for. On the
upside, 11500-11525 remains to be an immediate hurdle and in
case if it extends further, we will still avoid participating in it.
.Key Levels
Support 1 – 11420 Resistance 1 – 11500
Support 2 – 11300 Resistance 2 – 11525
Exhibit 2: Nifty Bank Daily Chart
The banking space has gained some strength in last 3-4 days and it
is clearly not letting the market fall. Yesterday too, it managed to
hold strong and has now reached it’s recent crucial high around
23200-23250. Now going ahead, it would be interesting to see
whether BankNifty still holds Nifty higher or a failure to surpass
23250 triggers some correction. Apart from this, some profit taking
was seen in the broader market and hence, one needs to be watchful
there as well.
