  • Opening to mixed global cues, Markets reacted sluggishly and lost some ground today. While I do not see this as a concern in general, it would be important to look at  this in conjunction with the F&O stats for today.
  • Nifty 
    • Nifty opened slightly in green and consolidated for some time with some minor gains, but in the last hour and a half, it lost ground and slipped by 120 points plus to close at 18210 (slightly above the first support i mentioned yesterday).
    • Support
      • First support at 18150
      • Second support at 18050
    • Resistance 
      • First resistance at 18260
      • Second resistance at 18325
    • Nifty futures had a short buildup today and the buildup was around 18325 levels. If the index rises above this level, it may trigger some short covering. Tomorrow being the monthly closing, be careful.
  • Bank Nifty
    • Bank Nifty opened flat and double tested the day top of 41347 twice before correcting to 40750 (its second support mentioned yesterday). Though it closed with a minor recovery of 100 points from there.
    • Support
      • First support at 40750
      • Second support at 40500
    • Resistance 
      • First resistance at 41000
      • Second resistance at 41350
    • Bank Nifty has been consolidating within the large bullish candle of Monday. It has not been able to breach the 41350 level since yesterday. A breach of this level could lift the index back close to 41800 levels. However, the heavy shorting of Bank Nifty today would put strong hurdles for this.
  • FII again sold in cash today (though a bit less) for 1913Cr. They also shorted the index futures heavily. 23000 shorts were added by FII today on the index futures. Though I believe most of this is on Bank Nifty and a follow through of this would be required, else we may see some short covering on Bank Nifty in the second half tomorrow.
  • As mentioned yesterday as well,  Bank Nifty has been consolidating and this may get breached if the shorts today do not get a follow through tomorrow. I believe the rally on Monday was because of the Euphoria on ICICI Bank and that hasnt got a follow through. ICICIBank saw profit booking yesterday and some short covering today. 
  • HDFC Bank was silently consolidating all this time. So it would be important to watch its movement tomorrow.
  • Options OI indicate a strong put standing at 18000 and heavy call writing at 18300. This could be pretty well the closing range tomorrow. For Bank Nifty the put writers stand at 41000 and 40000, call writing is seen at 41200. I would expect the closing to be between 40500 and 41200.
  • I would expect tomorrow's session to be volatile. 
  • Dollar Index has eased and the US yields have also eased below 1.6, with oil also easing out, this could be a good positive for us. However, watch for US close today. 
  • I believe the buy on dips is intact and the domestic liquidity is strong. Though the DII did not buy as much as the selling by FII today.  I feel their buying at lower levels is intact. 
  • The trading range continues to be 18050 to 18400 on Nifty and 40500-41750 for Bank Nifty. A breach of the support levels above nullifies this view.
