Major supports for NIFTY are at 18,250, 18,200, 18,050 and 18,000. We can expect resistances at 18,320, 18,350, 18,400, 18,450 and 18,500.

Yesterday’s fall can be attributed to profit booking in particular stocks and also in major index heavy weights. IT also moved down yesterday. It is interesting to see BANK NIFTY holding up and not falling even when the entire market is falling. IT and BANKS continue to be on watch.
The larger question is, has NIFTY bottomed out at 18,200 or whether profit booking will continue. I think NIFTY might not fall like the last 2 days anymore. I’ll be concerned about a fall only if 18,200 is broken.
The support level I will be watching out for is 18,280. If in case NIFTY breaks that, I will turn bearish. And further, if 18,250 and 18,200 are broken I’ll sell call options aggressively. On the upper side, if 18,400 is broken and sustained, I’ll start selling more puts.
