What to expect today?
Last week closed on a low, mainly attributed to the fall in Reliance Industries and the banking sector, led by HDFC Bank. Global and local cues seem to be on the positive side. But these 2 index heavyweights are bringing NIFTY down. So tread with caution. Once the market has clearly taken support and starts moving up, it will be a great opportunity to buy heavily.
Technically, there is support at 11,000 and at 10,850-10,900. Even if NIFTY moves down, these are important price levels to watch out for.
US Markets fell heavily but regained later. Asian markets are mostly down. SGX NIFTY is currently trading lower at 11,018, indicating a gap down opening in the Indian Market!
NIFTY is likely to trade between 10,950 and 11,200 today. There is support at 11,000 and 10,950 and resistance at 11,150 and 11,200.
Highest Call Open Interest at 11,500, followed by 11,000. Highest Put Open Interest at 11,000, followed by 11,200. 11,000 can act as a huge support.
