- Finally that much awaited pull back came today. The Indices gave a sharp pull back of 400 points on Nifty and 700 points on Bank Nifty. With two successive green candles Bank Nifty has actually recovered 1300 points.
- Nifty was hovering its previous lows of March and Bank Nifty was also getting closer to the March lows. I had mentioned in the previous notes that a leap of faith can be taken for a bounce back of 250 points. It actually came in for 400 points. Almost similar for Bank Nifty.
- I mentioned yesterday, that Bank Nifty was a surprise. I has expected a little more fall before this pull back, but then that is what the markets are known for, Giving surprises.
- Lets look at how the levels look like :
- While both the indices have risen sharply, I feel they are not out of the woods. The first level i mentioned for Nifty was 16100. This has been taken down. The next level is now 16325 (Actually 16400). If this is not topped, we may see some weakness again. I somehow feel that the Indices still need to go below 16650 at least once. This view will be negated if we manage a close above 16400.
- Bank Nifty may give some more surprise, Banking stocks, especially SBI, Kotak and many smaller banks surprised yesterday. Probably driven from the interest of rate rise regime kicking off.
- There has been a sharp reversal across indices. While, Nifty shows 16400 as the critical level, these sectoral indices show a reasonable upside in this pullback. This may give strength to Nifty and we may see a inertia jump above 16400. Normally these jumps are sold off. A slow rise and come consolidation at these levels would play healthy. Lets see how does this play out.
- FII sold off again today for 2192Cr and DII bought for 2294Cr. However, on the Index futures, the FII unwound both longs and shorts on the Index futures. They however, unwound large number of shorts than longs.
- This could be driven from the fact that the pull back was on the cards. They however, have not added any major longs, so sustainability of this pull back could be questionable. We have been following global cues a lot lately, so keep an eye on the US markets. as of now they are in green. Keep watching where do they close today and also how the US futures behave tomorrow morning.
- The Dollar Index has eased slightly and the Yields have also eased a bit. The oil prices are stable at 114 USD. Giving discomfort to us.
