Markets Ahead
Yesterday, Nifty closed in the red and we saw FIIs turning net sellers as expected. But if those numbers turn out to be net buying for today, then we can expect some bullish in the coming days of the week.
Nifty closed above 15,800 today, which is a good sign but Bank Nifty is yet to break its crucial resistance at 35,800. We can also see a lot of call option contracts at the 36,000 level this week, showing that the level will also be important. Private banks including HDFC Bank showed strength closing above 1,500. 1,520 will have to be watched. Reliance is trying and failing to cross 2,100 for the last 2 days, and may give a move tomorrow with the positive telecom data for Jio coming out yesterday.
