  • As mentioned yesterday, the indices opened gap down. However, from then a sharp recovery was seen, almost up to the resistances I mentioned yesterday. Some intraday profit booking was seen from this point and then this dip was bought and the Indices closed at the high end of the trading range for the day.
  • While #Nifty closed at the first high made, #BankNifty closed took down the day high made and closed above the first high. So, while both the Indices mad a bullish candle for the day, they actually made a daily candle with a lower high and a lower low as compared with yesterday.
  • The buying interest seen at the opening lows today indicate a strong demand at that levels. Also the #FII ended up buying today. So let us look at the levels first
  • Looking closely at the levels, after the recovery today, the spot price is now close to their first resistance for both #Nifty and #BankNifty. Important to see is that if they are taken down or not. While I expect them to be taken down tomorrow, a bit of this depends on the US closing today and the opening of US futures tomorrow.
  • #FII action today in cash was bullish, they bought for 563 Cr and the position on the Index futures was more or less neutral. On the options side also their stance is kind of neutral. So some range bound action is what they expect.
  • The options OI indicate a trading range of 17400 - 18000 on #Nifty and 38500 - 39500 for #BankNifty as it is seen now. Month end volatility may be seen and also the global cues can add to this volatility. 
  • The India VIX has not eased much from yesterday, so this recovery today may or may not sustain. Tomorrow's price action could give a clue to this. Till the Indices are below their first resistance above, this risk will remain.
  • Dollar Index has eased slightly, however, the US yields are stable. The Brent oil has inched up, so on this side the cues are not very encouraging.
  • On the economic front the US home sales data was poor, the German and British PMI was also down (Except on the services side). This could be interpreted by the market as good from the perspective that this could lead to the #FED taking a bit of a lenient stance on rate rise. Let us see, if this supports.
  • Technically, the markets are at a good support level. I would be hopeful to see this level holding up. But then, as they say "Bhav Bhagwaan hai". Lets see...
  • The IT sector did not perform today and was the only sector to take a dip. It is now at its support. With the kind of weightage it has on #Nifty, If this picks up tomorrow, could actually support.
