22nd Jan'2021 (Evening) 

  • As mentioned a day earlier in my post, the data was all over the place, hence a price action watch was necessary to create a view. The worry came true on Friday, seeing the kind of fall and other pointer mentioned below.
  • Markets opened weak and after moving a slight up move, started sliding following global cues. The slide got intensified and though a very minor pull back came in the last hour, it was sold out and market closed at the lower end of the day.
  • FII have sold in the cash market and also reversed their positions in futures and options. They created 12000 plus shorts and unwound close to 6000 longs. Their net position on futures longs went down from 67:33 to 59:41.
  • FII also sold more calls then puts and bought more puts than calls, indicating extreme caution.
  • DII as usual contributed to the selling.
  • The sentiment is dented as of now.
  • Markets are at their support now. Nifty at a range of 14250-14350 and while Bank Nifty has breached its erstwhile support at 31850 and then 31550, it is now just above 31000. 
  • As mentioned in my blog earlier, Indices if breach their range of ATH and the lows on 18th Jan would decide the direction. While Nifty is still in that range, BankNifty has breached it. BankNifty is particularly weak.
  • Nifty and BankNifty have a strong support at 14250 and 31000 respectively. Need to watch if these are held, else a further down slide opens up.
  • I feel this volatility would remain till budget and also the current month expiry. One has to be extremely cautious during this time.
