What to expect today?
NIFTY hit a fresh all time high near 15,260 and then succumbed to heavy profit booking and fell nearly 200 points to close just above 15,100. You can read all about yesterday’s movements here.
Bank Nifty is clearly moving within a range, with high volatility. It has been trading in the range 35,600 – 36,600 for the last 3 days. These levels can be watched for a brekout/breakdown opportunity.
Consolidation has kicked in everywhere. Markets around the globe ended flat yesterday.
All the European and US markets closed without significant gains or losses. Most of the Asian markets are trading in the green, but not much higher. SGX NIFTY is trading higher at 15,167, indicating a flat to gap up opening in the Indian Market.
Yesterday’s high of 15,260 would act as resistance in the coming days.
Moving down, NIFTY has immediate support at 15,000-15,050. In the medium-term, 14,500 and 14,000 will be taken as good supports.
Highest Call Open Interest at 15,500, followed by 15,200. Highest Put Open Interest at 15,000, followed by 14,000.
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) net bought shares worth Rs 1,300 crore, and domestic institutional investors (DIIs) net sold shares worth Rs 1,756 crore in the Indian equity market.
DIIs sold more than how much the FIIs bought, thereby triggering the intraday fall. It is just natural for the DIIs to book profits as the market has rallied for the last many trading sessions.
Reliance faced stiff resistance when it was reaching 2000. Titan, Eicher, Tata Steel and ITC can be watched today.
Today will most probably be consolidation between 15,000 and 15,260. If these levels are broken, we will see trend in that direction.
