Both FIIs and DIIs were net sellers yesterday and this is happening after a gap. Do you think the top is done? It would be early to ask this question as there has been a good rally and it is important to give some time for the market to rest and rally.
If there is a reversal from here, note that 18,680 is the first level to watch. It is a major swing point in the day-chart. The corresponding area in BN is 43,430-43,400 zone.
We do not have cues from the US markets as they were shut on account of Juneteenth Day. But the European markets gave us the direction and they were deep in red. As the factors combined is indicating a flat to gap-down opening, initial price action is crucial for bulls.
19,320 is a major level to watch in FIN NIFTY. Since VIX is low, premium may not match the risk taken by Non directional option sellers if they enter aggressive positions.
Looking into the hourly candle itself gives us the picture of volatility in the market. I would suggest Strangle players to reduce quantities in the morning and make changes as the market progresses.
I will watch 18,710 on the downside in NIFTY. 18,770 can be watched on the upside.
