  • seeing the strong sentiment in US on Thu evening, I was expecting the markets to open a bit strong on Friday. However, a sharp fall of all US Indices from their highs led to a decline in the sentiment on our streets also. 
  • I mentioned on Friday morning that the US markets are entering into sell on rise mode and this would definitely put pressure on our markets as well.
  • Both Nifty and Bank Nifty made Doji candles on the daily chart. The reaction to the further slip in the US on Friday would reflect on our markets tomorrow. 
  • It would be important to note that while Nasdaq, Dow and S&P are 15%, 7% and 8% away from their all time highs. Nifty and Bank Nifty are 5.3% and 10% away. 
  • On a weekly chart, both Nifty and Bank Nifty have made a bearish engulfing candles and market has to, now,  hunt for a support. 

  • Nifty 
    • Support
      • First support at 17475
      • Second support at 17350
    • Resistance
      • First resistance at 17700
      • Second resistance at 17825
  • Bank Nifty
    • Support
      • First support at 37250
      • Second support at 37000
    • Resistance 
      • First resistance at 37750
      • Second resistance at 38050

  • FII again sold for 3148Cr and this relentless selling just continues. They also shorted on Index futures, though for a small amount. They however sold more puts than Call on Index. So some base seems to be sitting there.
  • The Price action on Friday indicated some uncertainty on the direction ahead. The US Futures opening tomorrow, would give impetus to the direction the market takes tomorrow. 
  • I personally feel that Nifty would definitely touch 17350 before it makes a reasonable turn and Bank Nifty may test 37000. A breach of these levels could make some serious selling again, a reality.
  • While I would advice the cash investors to keep invested and buy on dips, for leveraged and derivative traders, i think for at the moment market is directionless and they need to wait for confirmation for fresh trades. 
  • I personally feel that Bank Nifty seems to be stronger than Nifty at the moment. A good set of results by Banks is also supporting the Index as of now. 
  • Banking, Auto and Energy seem to be relatively stronger indices.
  • Dollar Index is at 95.6 and is still above its support at 95.5. So this would keep the nerves high. Would have to wait to see coming below 95.5
  • US Yields eased slightly to 1.770. Is still in the range 08 1.7-1.8. Nothing much changed here.
  • Options OI currently indicate a higher trading range on Nifty and bets are places on both sides. a trading range of 17000-18000 on Nifty and 37000-38000 on Bank Nifty.
  • Economic events this week :
    • Mon - German Mfg PMI, British Composite, mfg and services PMI
    • Tue - German Business climate Index
    • Wed - India off, US New home sales
    • Thu - US heavy with FOMC minutes, Interest rate, Q4 GDP and jobs data.
    • Fri - German GDP
  • Important Results 
    • Mon - ITC, Fri - Dr Reddy
  • Expect a volatile week ahead. 26th Jan being an off, it would be truncated week.
  • Happy trading guys....
