  • Indices today gave a surprise in the second half. As mentioned yesterday, after some profit booking in the first half, a sudden buying came in the second half and gave the indices a solid boost. 
  • Both Nifty and Bank Nifty covered all there initial losses and ended up approx 1% higher. Nifty made a gain of 198 points and Bank Nifty made a gain of 330 points before closing.
  • The trading range today was wider than yesterday, with Nifty trading in a range of 328 points and Bank Nifty trading in a range of 1084 points.
  • The sharp rally today has placed both the indices very close to its resistance and a gap up opening tomorrow could position above this level. For Nifty this level was 17350 and for Bank Nifty this level is 36475.


  • Now important is to watch how the first hour trades tomorrow. If the opening and trade above the first resistance mentioned above is sustained, then the nest targets would be 17800 on Nifty and 37700 on Bank Nifty.
  • FII were net buyers today (surprisingly). The DII sold in cash. FII also created longs on Index futures and unwound shorts.
  • I feel the FII activity today was suspicious and I would be carefully watching the price action tomorrow.
  • Dollar Index continues to be strong and the US Yields have inched higher. Some concerns raised by FED yesterday on rate hikes have been put aside by the markets at least for today. Lets see how it goes tomorrow.
  • All other risks remain. Viz Oil price, Inflation and Covid. Keep watching.
  • Options activity today was a bit confusing with FII unwinding their longs and shorts on both sides. Probably the surprising price action was the reason.
  • Be careful....

1. FII were net Buyers for 384 Cr today, while DII were sellers for 602 Cr. A net selling of 218 Cr from the institutional side.
