  • The highlight of yesterdays trading was that the markets did not reject the price from the levels where it opened. While there was congestion and both #Nifty and #BankNIfty saw some resistance, they got support and held the levels. 
  • While #Nifty made a bullish candle on the daily chart, #BankNIfty made a small bearish candle with a decent upper and lower shadow indicating a small range of trading. Important to see which side does it breakout from yesterdays range.
  • Levels :
  • The highlight for some time has been the #FII buying and their return into the cash market. Markets enjoyed this support yesterday as well, with #FII buying 1376Cr of equity and the #DII liquidating a small amount.
  • The broader Indices also saw strength with the market width in the #Nifty500 also improving yesterday. 
  • The indices however have not shown a breakout yet. Most of the important stocks in #BankNIfty are in the resistance zone and #NiftyIT has not shown strength yet. It would be important to see whether #BankNIfty gives up or #NIftyIt picks up. This would decide the next course of action.
  • As of now the levels remain as in the table.
  • The options OI are indicating a tough off war between the bulls and bears with both put writing and call writing at levels intruding each others zone. However, support seems to exist on 17800 for #Nifty and 39200 for #BankNifty and the resistance also at almost same levels.
  • Seeing above, caution is advised. As mentioned yesterday i would be cautious with a bearish bias. Though a breakout from the levels cannot be ruled out. However, a confirmed breakout would be a safe than to pick a long trade on anticipation of a breakout.
  • A cool off would be healthier for the market though.
  • #DollarIndex and yields continue to be in the range. Oil has eased a bit though. 
  • Keep eye on #NiftyIT and #BankNIfty for a cue on todays action. The global cues have been supportive so far, however a bad news from that side could be sensitive for us due to the positioning we are carrying as of now.
