19th Feb'2021 (Evening)

  • Friday saw a follow up of weakness in the markets. Both the indices Nifty and Bank Nifty closed in red for the fourth consecutive day.
  • Though the markets covered by the end of the day, they breached important supports intraday. Nifty support of 14977 and Bank Nifty support at 36000 were breached. I mentioned these as important support for the past couple of days. While Nifty recovered and closed above 14977, bank Nifty took support at the next lower support of 35500 (35428 to be precise)  and closed at 35841.
  • FII did not buy much on Friday and DII sold as usual. This led to the correction. FII buying was just 118Cr and has been shrinking for some time. Lets see on Monday.
  • Options data is showing a wide range of 14000 to 16000 for February. The options writing suggests a close range of 14700 to 15300 on Nifty.
  • Bank Nifty options indicate a wide range of 35000 to 37000. The writing indicates a close range of 35500 to 36000. 
  • Being the monthly expiry, we may see volatile moves on either side.
  • The US bond yields are on a rise, Friday closed at 1.34 a sharp increase from Fridays low of 1.15. This may cause some flight of capital, Maybe short term. Fingers closed for Monday.
