What to expect today?

NIFTY breaking 11,200 and Bank NIfty almost breaking 21,000 could easily summarise how bearish the market has become! NIFTY tried to move up back above 11,200 but couldn’t succeed. Click here for a detailed analysis of yesterday’s market and stock movements. 

11,000 is the next support for NIFTY. Bank Nifty is already at a strong support of 20,900-21,000. These are the levels to watch now. Hopefully, the market should consolidate now rather than falling further.

What happened in the last few days offers us a learning opportunity. A single event (FinCEN leaks) caused sell offs in some stocks and the banking sector. That created panic among market participants which led to panic selling among all stocks and thus, the market has fallen heavily, all across the globe.

Reliance, with the new investment and postpaid plan, may move up today. It’ll be interesting to see if Ambani & Co can help NIFTY again!

I won’t be a bull unless NIFTY starts comfortably trading above 11,200.

A great positive sign is that the US Markets are up. Asian markets are mixed. SGX NIFTY is currently trading at 11,157, which is 2.5 points lower, indicating a flat opening in the Indian Market. 

NIFTY is likely to trade between 11,100 and 11,300 today. There is support at 11,130 and 11,100 and resistance at 11,180 and 11,200. 11,200 is a strong resistance for NIFTY.

Highest Call Open Interest at 11,500, followed by 11,600. Highest Put Open Interest at 11,000, followed by 11,200.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) net sold shares worth Rs 2,072.76 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) net bought shares worth Rs 878.91 crore. It is interesting to see that DIIs have kicked in to buy during bad times.

Reminding again, a falling market offers great short selling opportunities. Anyone could have shorted any stock to make amazing returns during the first hour yesterday. So keep emotions at home and trade with focus. All the best for today!
