Bank Nifty chart August 22 - post-market analysis

All indices except Nifty PSU Bank (-0.49%), Nifty Pharma (-0.2%), Nifty IT (-0.11%), and Nifty Finserv (-0.1%) closed flat-to-green. Nifty Metal (+0.85%) moved up the most.

Major Asian markets closed in green. European markets are currently trading up to 1% in the green.

Today’s Moves

Adani Ent (+2.21%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer. ​​Kempas Trade & Investment (a promoter group company) acquired 2.53 crore shares of Adani Enterprises between August 7-18, raising its overall stake in the company to 69.87%.

BHEL (+10%) hit a six-year high of ₹112.85. The company secured an order worth ₹4,000 crore from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adani Power yesterday.

Linde India (+9.86%) hit a 52-week high of ₹5,900 after the company said it expects healthy growth from the healthcare sector and expansion in the steel sector.

BPCL (-1.46%) was NIFTY50’s top loser. 

Tamilnad Mercantile Bank (-5.2%) fell after its massive 19% rally yesterday. The company has partnered with fintech platform provider Jocata to offer digital lending products to customers.

Markets Ahead

Both indices tried moving up, but there wasn’t enough strength in the market. Nifty and Bank Nifty have been mostly consolidating over the past few trading sessions, and this indicates that there could be a directional breakout or breakdown in the coming days.

Nifty: The immediate support zone for Nifty is 19,380 and 19,350 levels. The immediate resistance is 19,420— and a breakout from this level can give us targets of 19,490, 19,500 and eventually 19,600. On the downside, we can expect a target of 19,300 (a very strong support).

Bank Nifty:  The index has been in a very tight consolidation within a range between 44,100 and 43,700. Let’s wait for a breakout or breakdown from these levels with a re-test for further confirmation of the direction.

Fin Nifty: The index had a bearish day as it fell 130 points from the day’s high. But as the fall was slow and gradual, it never gave trouble for non-directional option sellers. 19,650 remains strong as a resistance level, and 19,500 can act as an immediate support zone.

As per reports, the strong US economy is supporting global growth and global equity markets. However, the sharp spike in US bond yields (the 10-year yield at 4.34% is the highest since 2007) is negatively affecting the flow of capital to emerging markets like India. If bond yields go down and inflation softens, things might improve.

Then, it mostly consolidated in a 50-point range. Post 1:30 PM, good buying kicked in, which took the index all the way up to 19,375 levels. However, the index couldn’t sustain the up-move and fell back below 19,300 zones. Nifty closed at 19,310, down by 55 points or 0.28% 

Nifty chart August 18 - post-market analysis

BANK NIFTY (BNF) started the day at 43,724 with a gap-down of 166 points. The index mostly consolidated throughout the day between 43,770 and 43,960 levels with a negative bias. BNF closed at 43,851, down by 40 points or 0.09%. 

Bank Nifty chart August 18 - post-market analysis

All indices except Nifty Media (+0.65%), Nifty PSU Bank (+0.23%), Nifty FMCG (+0.22%), and Nifty Metal (+0.2%) closed in the red. Nifty IT (-1.47%) fell the most.

Major Asian markets closed up to 2% in the red. European markets are currently trading in the red.

Today’s Moves

Adani Ent (+3.94%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer. Adani Ports (+%), Adani Green (+6.5%), Adani Power (+6.3%), and Adani Trans (+6.04%) rose sharply today.

Adani Group stocks were in focus after reports suggested that the Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC (TAQA) is planning an investment of up to $2.5 billion in the group’s power business. However, both parties have denied all reports.

Vardhman Textiles (+7.9%) surged on the back of strong volumes.

Hero MotoCorp (-2.14%) was NIFTY50’s top loser.

TCS (-2%), Mphasis (-2.09%), INFY (-1.6%), TechM (-1.7%), Wipro (-1.4%), and other IT stocks fell today.

Manappuram Finance (-3.89%) fell the most in over three months after a block trade.

Markets Ahead

Markets are holding the major support levels but are clearly bearish and facing selling pressure in every uptick. On a weekly time frame, both indices have closed in the red for the 4th consecutive week.

If there’s a negative opening on Monday, we can expect the bearishness to continue!

Nifty: The index closed just above 19,300 zones but is still under heavy selling pressure. The immediate supports to watch out for are 19,300 and 19,250 levels (the lows from today and Wednesday). The immediate resistance will be 19,400 levels.

On a daily time frame, Nifty is moving in a down-trending channel. If there’s a gap-up opening, the markets could take a pause and be volatile. On the other hand, a weak opening can trigger a fall to 19,200 and 18,900 levels.

Bank Nifty: The index is still in our volatile zone between 44,500 and 43,400. Bank Nifty can continue to be volatile and hit stop losses on both sides as long as it trades in this range. The immediate resistance now will be 44,100 and immediate support will be 43,650 levels.

Do wait for the volatile range to be broken to get better clarity on the upcoming trend.

Meanwhile, Jio Financial Services will list on NSE and BSE on Aug 21. Reliance moved up with strength following the news today.

Nifty: The important round level support now in Nifty would be 19,500 and the major resistance to look out for is 19,600 levels. A breakout from 19,600 can give us targets of 19,690 and 19,720 (gap-filling levels) and a breakdown from 19,500 could give us targets of 19,420 and 19,390.

Bank Nifty: The index is currently at the support zone of 44,400-500. The immediate resistance will be 44,700 levels. A breakdown of the support levels can give us targets of 44,280 and 44,000. A breakout can give us targets of 45,000 and 45,150 levels.

NIFTY started the day at 19,627 with a gap-up of 29 points (near the resistance zone of 19,600). Immediately after opening, there was a sell-off of nearly 100 points to 19,530 levels. Then, the index tried moving up but there wasn’t enough strength, and it consolidated. Nifty closed at 19,570, down by 26 points or 0.13%. 

Nifty chart - Aug 8 post-market analysis

BANK NIFTY (BNF) started the day at 44,888 with a small gap-up of 51 points. With the help of ICICI Bank, the index moved up initially to 45,100 levels, took resistance, and mostly consolidated in a small range of 120 points between 45,050 and 44,900. BNF closed at 44,964, up by 126 points or 0.28%. 

Bank Nifty chart - Aug 8 post-market analysis

All other indices except Nifty Metal (-1.1%), Nifty Auto (-0.31%), Nifty FMCG (-0.28%), and Nifty Realty (-0.18%) closed in green. Nifty PSU Bank (+3.3%) moved up the most. 

Major Asian markets closed mixed. European markets are currently trading up to 1% in the red.

Today’s Moves

Hero MotoCorp (+3.8%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer. The company reported that it has received over 25,000 bookings for the Harley-Davidson X440.

SBI Life (+3.59%), Cipla (+3.5%), and Dr Reddy’s Labs (+0.48%) hit their respective 52-week highs today.

Gland Pharma (+20%-UC) rallied after posting a 41% YoY rise in Q1 revenue yesterday, aided by its acquisition of French pharma group Cenexi.

Adani Ent (-2.98%) was NIFTY50’s top loser amid broader weakness in the market.

Policybazaar (-4.7%) fell after the company’s loss narrowed from ₹204 crore in Q1 FY23 to ₹11.9 crore in Q1 FY24.

Markets Ahead

Nifty is looking weak, while Bank Nifty is looking strong. But overall, the markets are still under selling pressure for the short term. So major resistances have to be breached for markets to turn bullish again.

Nifty: The index is now taking the 50% rejection from the Fib levels. So 19,650 is the major resistance for Nifty. There is also a trendline resistance that Nifty is respecting. So till this level, the markets may stay bearish. Now, the major support for Nifty is clearly the round levels of 19,500 levels.

A breakout from 19,650 levels can give us a target of 19,740 and a breakdown from 19,500 can give us a target of 19,380.

Bank Nifty: The index is looking strong compared to Nifty, and is in a range between 45,100 and 44,780. A breakdown from these levels can give us targets of 44,500 and 44,300. A breakout can give us targets of 45,470 and 45,740 eventually.

Finnifty: The index moved sideways today, and was volatile in a range of 120 points. Being an expiry, it was easy for non-directional players to trade as Fin Nifty is also moving in a range. A breakout or a breakdown is possible, so watch out for 20,100 as resistance and 20,000 as support levels.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will hold its policy meeting on Thursday, where the expectation is for interest rates to remain unchanged. Meanwhile, the US dollar strengthened ahead of the release of US, Chinese economic data.

Panic Selling in the Markets. Pharma Stocks Surge! – Post-Market Analysis

NIFTY started the day at 19,463 with a gap-down of 62 points. Initially, the index tried moving up, but the earlier support of 19,500 now turned into resistance. After forming a double top near the 19,500 zone, the index crashed without a retracement till 19,300 and then gave a sharp recovery of 100 points like yesterday to 19,400 levels. Nifty closed at 19,381, down by 144 points or 0.74%. 

BANK NIFTY (BNF) started the day at 44,862 with a gap-down of 132 points. Initially, the index tried moving above 45,000, but that level acted as a strong resistance. Similar to Nifty, Bank Nifty also fell nearly 750 points to the low of 44,300 levels (which is also a support zone). Then, there was a small retracement to 44,600. BNF closed at 44,513, down by 482 points or 1.07%. 

All indices except Nifty Pharma (+1.04%) and Nifty Media (+0.91%) closed in red. Nifty Realty (-1.78%) fell the most. 

Major Asian markets closed mixed (Japan’s Nikkei fell 1.6%). European markets are currently trading in the red.

Today’s Moves

Adani Ent (+2.39%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer. The company posted a 44% YoY increase in net profit to ₹674 crore, while revenue fell 38% YoY to ₹25,438 crore.

IRFC (+12.6%) hit a 52-week high of ₹45.3 today. IRFC and RITES signed an agreement to explore avenues of mutual collaboration in the railway ecosystem and transport infrastructure sector. Read more reasons for the stock’s recent rally here.

Pharma stocks Mankind Pharma (+9.1%), Laurus Labs (+5.4%), Lupin (+4.1%), Gland Pharma (+3.1%), and others showed strong grains in a weak market.

UPL (-3.02%) was NIFTY50’s top loser. The stock hit over a 2-year low on weak June quarter results.

Vedanta (-6.65%) fell up to 9% after a block deal took place on the exchanges wherein ~16.5 crore shares of the company worth ₹4,270 crore changed hands.

Godrej Properties (-5.2%) fell after the company said its pre-sales declined by 11% YoY to ₹2,250 crore as delayed launches adversely affected bookings. 

Markets Ahead

As said in yesterday’s post-market report, the target of 19,300 in Nifty was achieved today. But 44,150 in Bank Nifty is yet to be achieved.

Markets are clearly under selling pressure without any retracement. So tomorrow, we can expect a range-bound movement if the market opens with a big gap up or gap down. If the market opens flat and breaches today’s low, more bearishness can kick in.

Nifty: The important support for Nifty is now clearly 19,300. If that level is breached, the index can fall to 19,200 levels. The important resistance to watch out for is the 19,400-420 region, and 19,500 can be achieved if this resistance is crossed.

Bank Nifty: The important support for Bank Nifty is at 44,500 and the important resistance will be 44,750. A breakdown from 44,500 can give us a target of 44,150 and a breakout from 44,750 can give us targets of 45,000-200.

The markets are still under selling pressure. So even if there’s an up-move, it can be just a pullback, and the markets can continue to fall in the coming days.

If one played safely on today’s expiry day, it could’ve been an easy day for non-directional option sellers as well. Option buyers might have found it difficult to capture the trade as there was no retracement given for an entry.

Meanwhile, India’s services activity recorded the fastest growth rate in 13 years on strong demand. S&P Global’s India Services Purchasing Managers’ Index rose from 58.5 in June to 62.3 in July.
