  • As expected and mentioned in my notes yesterday, the Indices opened gap down and then continued to slide, closing at the lower end of today's trading range. #Nifty and #BankNIfty both made strong bearish candles on a daily chart.
  • The weak global cues this morning and through the day, did not give any reason to our markets to take a breather. A small support picked up around noon was sold off and this levels actually becomes our first resistance for tomorrow.
  • Levels first :
  • So looking at the levels now, #Nifty is looking at 17425 as the first level and could actually look for a deeper correction if this is taken down. On the flip side we may see resistance at 17600 if it tries to go up. #BankNifty is looking at 38150 and 38500 as the levels (with a similar commentary as #Nifty) from here.
  • Looking at the way Asian markets closed today, Europe and US is trading as of now, we may see another gap down opening tomorrow. Though the gap may not be as deep as today. Need to look at the US closing today and opening of its future tomorrow.
  • I expect a bit of consolidation at this level, hence the Indices may play in a range. Though the range could be wider. Being the last week and a correction from a swing high, may actually pose some volatility again. Keep an eye on the levels above to get a sense of direction in short term.
  • For mid term to long term investors, the correction is a good time to enter. Choose ones entry point as per the investment style.
  • #FII sold in cash today and unwound a huge number of shorts on Index futures. They also unwound a good number of longs on Index futures. This indicates a bit of capital squeezed out of our markets today. They also are playing a range at the moment. 
  • The #DOllarIndex is close to 109 now and could well put global equities in pressure. The 10 year Yields in US are also above 3 now. #FED is doing its job well to keep the equity folks under pressure.
  • The options OI indicate a weak #Nifty and a mildly better #BankNIfty. #BankNifty may see a deeper trouble below 38000.
  • So lets watch an interesting day tomorrow.....
