Bulls reluctant to give up; Nifty ends above 13750

Sensex (46961) / Nifty (13761)

Source: Trading View

Future outlook

Nifty started the week tad below 13600 and consolidated in a narrow range for initial couple of sessions. But the positive global

market sentiments then provided an impetus to the ongoing rally and the index continued it uptrend for the rest of the week to

clock new records and end above 13750.

The bulls seem to be reluctant to give up and hence, we have seen intraday dips were getting bought into throughout the week.

Nifty is trading all time high and although there’s no limit on the upside, reciprocal retracements usually indicates where the

markets could resist in such a trend. If we observe positional charts and take retracements of the previous corrections, then 127%

retracement of the previous correction from 12430 to 7511 comes around 13770 and that is where Nifty is placed right now. On the

other hand, the RSI-smoothened oscillator is trading at level above 95 on the daily chart which is a highly overbought zone. Usually,

when the momentum readings are in such overbought zone and market approaches resistance, it leads to either a price-wise or a

time-wise correction in short term. Hence, we advise that traders should avoid getting carried away now and avoid aggressive

buying at current levels. Infact, booking profits on existing longs and taking some money off the table is also recommended. Having

said that, one should not give less importance to the price structure which has not yet given any signs of reversal. Hence, for the

coming week, focus would be more on the price action and we would wait for indications from that front.

The banking index which has resumed its rally and has outperformed in last couple of months has now been facing resistance

around the 31000 mark. As far as Nifty levels are concerned, 13770-13800 is the immediate resistance as per the retracement

theory mentioned above. If the index moves beyond this range, then it would eye the 14000 mark for the first time ever. On the

flipside, 13650 is the immediate support which if breached, then it could result in some profit booking and drag the index towards

13500-13470.

Stretched PCR-OI hints sign of caution

Nifty spot closed at 13760.55 this week, against a close of 13258.55 last week. The Put-Call Ratio has increased from 1.57 to 1.77.

The annualized Cost of Carry is positive at 2.75%. The Open Interest of Nifty Futures has increased by 9.87%.

Derivatives View

Nifty current month future closed with a premium of 13.50 points against a premium of 53.05 points to its spot. Next month future

is trading at a premium of 53.40 points.

As far as Nifty options activities are concerned, we saw some build-up in 13900-14400 call options. On the put side, 13500-13700

strikes added decent build-up and we believe these are short positions. Maximum open interest for the monthly series is placed at

14000 call and 13700 put options.

Last week, we witnessed some consolidation for the initial two sessions. However, smart buying was seen thereafter to rally beyond

13750 mark. In F&O segment, the upmove seen in Nifty was supported by long positions. In case of banking index, no major build-up

was seen in the week gone by. In options front, we witnessed strong writing in Nifty puts which resulted in PCR-OI surging to 1.77. At

present, this ratio is on the higher side and thus, hints market is overbought now. FIIs continued exiting from long and

simultaneously preferred adding shorts in index futures; their ‘Long Short Ratio’ has plunged to 68% from 80% seen during start of

December series. Considering the above data point, we expect some profit booking soon and hence, would advise trader’s to keep

booking profits.
