Relax, refresh and recharge words on office table with computer, coffee, notepad, smartphone and digital tablet

NIFTY started the day flat at 19,828. After an initial up-move to 19,875 levels, the index fell sharply to the 19,800 support levels and consolidated the rest of the day. Nifty closed at 19,802, down by 9.85 points or 0.05%.

BANK NIFTY (BNF) started the day flat at 43,452. The index had a calm day following yesterday’s volatility. It consolidated within a range of 100 points, roughly between 43,550 and 43,650. It can also be seen as a consolidation between the significant resistance at 43,700 and the support at 43,500. BNF closed at 43,577, up by 127 points or 0.29%.

All indices except Nifty Pharma (-1.57%) and Nifty IT (-0.59%) closed flat-to-green. Nifty Realty (+1.03%) moved up the most.

Major Asian markets closed mixed. European markets are currently trading mixed.

Today’s Moves

Hero MotoCorp (+4.52%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer. The stock has rallied over 15% in nine days after the company reported record festive sales.

Shares of EID Parry (+8.37%) surged after promoters divested a 2.27% stake in the company for ₹190 crore through an open market transaction.

HPCL (+6.94%) moved up with strength as crude oil prices dropped sharply after OPEC+ postponed its meeting to decide on oil output.

Honasa Consumer (Mamaearth) hit a 20% upper circuit after the company reported a 94% YoY growth in Q2 net profit.

Cipla (-7.93%) was NIFTY50’s top loser. The US Food & Drug Administration issued a letter that flagged data issues at the pharma company’s unit in Madhya Pradesh.

Tube Investments (-8.25%) fell sharply today.

Markets Ahead

Being the weekly expiry for Nifty, the index remained stable and maintained its upper levels. Bank Nifty also sustained its upper levels after recovering from yesterday. However, both Nifty and BNF need to overcome their respective major resistances to achieve a clear breakout.

Nifty: The index has immediate support near 19,800. If there’s a breakdown from this level, the index may decline to 19,700 and 19,630 levels. Meanwhile, the resistance to monitor is approximately at 19,860. A breakout from this level might lead to targets of 20,000.

Bank Nifty: A major resistance to watch out for in BNF is 43,700. A breakout from this level could potentially lead to targets of 43,900 and the round level of 44,000. On the other hand, the immediate support lies near 43,500 levels. If there’s a breakdown from there, the index may decline to 43,200 levels.

India VIX remains steady, and the markets are currently stable. Confirmation of a reversal and an uptrend may occur with a further breakout from key resistance levels. In the event of a positive market reversal, you could focus more on Bank Nifty as it’s further away from the all-time high (ATH) compared to Nifty. This suggests that BNF has the potential to move swiftly to cover the gap.

Markets Ahead

“Will crude oil price continue to rise?”
“Will inflation rates jump again?”
“Should we expect another rate hike?”
“USD-INR is testing the resistance at 83.2. Will there be more weakness?”

What will investors do at this point? They will simply exit their portfolio with every rise and wait for a dip.

Nifty has fallen below its immediate support at 19,780. But we will see a good inflow of cash if it touches the 19,480 level.

Bank Nifty has made a weak pattern after retracing to 44,660 resistance. HDFC Bank is not giving an indication of a bounce back, as the major support is far away at the 1,470 zone.

What about ICICI Bank? The current chart structure indicates major support near the 929-933 zone ahead of its results on October 21.

BHEL (+12.29%) surged after the company received an order worth ₹15,530 crore from state-run NTPC.

Stocks in the railway sector: RailTel (+15.5%), IRFC (+11.06%), RVNL (5.5%), and IRCTC (+2.43%) moved up with strength today.

Cipla (-0.9%) was NIFTY50’s top loser. 

Brightcom Group (-5%) hit lower circuit for the 8th straight session since SEBI’s interim order.

Markets Ahead

Both indices witnessed strong buying at crucial support levels— covering the fall from the previous two sessions. This could just be a retracement of the fall from highs. So it’s essential to see if the markets break major resistance levels for a confirmed reversal.

Nifty: On a 2-hour time frame, the index is moving in a range between 19,240 and 19,460 levels— giving moves on both sides. The index has to cross the 19,600 zone for a trend reversal (which also represents the 50% Fibonacci levels). Till then, the immediate resistance will be 19,460 levels. If that’s breached, 19,520 and 19,600 levels could be the targets. The important support to watch out for is the 19,390-400 levels. And if that’s broken, the index can fall to 19,360 and 19,300 levels again.

Bank Nifty: The index is also moving in a very wide range between 43,800 and 44,800 levels, giving volatile moves. This up-move can still be a retracement as the 50% Fib level in BNF at 45,000 has to be crossed for trend reversal. Until then, the index will still be under a bearish trend. Now, the important resistance is 44,500— and a breakout from there can give us targets of 44,800 and 45,000. The immediate support level to look out for is 44,200. A breakdown from that level can give us targets of 44,000 and 43,800.

Today’s market up-move can be attributed to positive global signals, a domestic manufacturing PMI that exceeded expectations, and encouraging GDP growth data.  India’s S&P Global Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) surged to 58.6 in August from July’s 57.7— reaching its highest point since May.

RVNL (-6.15%) fell after the company’s two-day offer for sale (OFS) kicked off today.

Markets Ahead

In yesterday’s post-market analysis, we clearly stated that the indices are experiencing selling pressure, and we anticipate a directional move on monthly expiry.

A huge gap-up was formed in our markets because of the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision. But immediately after opening, the gap was sold into— indicating that markets are now under selling pressure.

Nifty: The major support for Nifty will be the round level of 19,600, and the major resistance will be 19,700. A breakdown from these levels can give us a target of 19,560 and 19,520. A breakout from 19,700 can give us a target of 19,750 and 19,840 eventually.

Bank Nifty: The index is in a very broad range between 45,600 and 46,200, and can be volatile in this region. Currently, the index is at the bottom support zone of 45,600. If there is a breakdown on the downside, the index can give us a target of 45,300 and 45,000. If it moves up back into the zone, 46,000 can be watched as the target and the first resistance.
