  • Markets opened gap down today as well. The intraday pattern was a bit similar to yesterday, with some quick buying, then selling and the dip getting bought again to close at the day highs. 
  • Both #Nifty and #BankNifty made strong bullish candles on the daily chart. #BankNifty though seems to be relatively stronger than #Nifty. The price action in the second half of the day convincingly took off the first resistance mentioned yesterday. #Nifty on the other hand is still battling the same.
  • However, both #Nifty and #BankNifty are staring at this level as the barrier between the recent high and the current level. The demand that comes in at the opening levels has been pretty strong. 
  • Levels :
  • Analyzing the charts and the price action today, I get the feeling that both the Indices made an attempt to take down the resistance mentioned yesterday. First attempt failed and the second attempt of #BankNifty thrashed it down. #Nifty is still holding the same. I feel this could be taken down tomorrow and the Indices may be staring at the recent highs.
  • #FII today bought for a paltry 23Cr and also unwound longs on #Index futures. So they seem to be bit skeptical at these levels. This may lead to a bit of volatility tomorrow. However, there participation would be important if the recent highs have to be taken down. 
  • While I am hopeful of a positive move till the recent highs, a move beyond that level could be difficult. If these levels of 18000 on #Nifty and 39800 on #BankNIfty fails again, we may see a sharper profit booking. Well lets go one step at a time.
  • Dollar Index is stable at 108.5 levels and the oil is also stable. The US yields though have been inching higher gradually. This could keep the lid on equity steaming up. 
  • The economic data coming in lately is confusing market players and a tight rope walk between Inflation and a slow down is on. People are anxiously watching #FED on this path. Lets see...
  • Options OI indicate a trading range of 17500-17800 on #Nifty and 39000-39500 on #BankNifty, we may see an expiry between these levels. As always, I advise expiry traders to be careful on a monthly expiry day. The lst hour action is capable of giving surprises.
  • I would specially mention the IT stocks Viz #TCS and #Infy. They are trading in a tight range. Keep a watch on the levels mentioned above. A breach of these on either side could give a strong momentum in that direction.
