Following this, it consolidated within a nearly 30-point range till 1 PM, gave a breakout of the consolidation, and gradually rose to 19,690 levels amidst some volatility. Nifty closed at 19,675, up by 231 points or 1.19%.

BANK NIFTY (BNF) started the day at 44,398 with a gap-up of 507 points. The index formed a 205-point red candle at opening! Then, it fell sharply to 44,165 levels and consolidated in a 95-point range for the rest of the day. BNF closed at 44,201, up by 310 points or 0.71%.

All indices closed in green. Nifty Realty (+2.95%) and Nifty IT (+2.59%) moved up the most.

Major Asian markets closed well in the green (Japan’s Nikkei rose 2.5%). European markets are currently trading in the green.

Today’s Moves

Eicher Motors (+5.5%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer. The stock continued its strong up-move after the automaker posted better-than-estimated Q2 results.

Network18 (+10%) surged on the back of strong volumes.

Bajaj Finance (-1.86%) was NIFTY50’s top loser. 

Shares of Rajesh Exports (-8.05%) hit a three-year low after the company’s Q2 profit fell 88% YoY to ₹45.3 crore.

Natco Pharma (-4.48%) fell sharply despite the company reporting a 6x jump in net profit to ₹369 crore in Q2.

Markets Ahead

Both Nifty and Bank Nifty have crossed their important resistance levels, indicating a bullish trend.

Nifty: The crucial resistance to monitor is at 19,700. A breakout from this level might lead Nifty to touch 19,850. On the other hand, the immediate support stands at 19,650. If there’s a breakdown from this point, the index might experience a decline to 19,580 and 19,500 eventually. Given the current bullish trend in the markets, considering buying opportunities during each dip could be a strategic approach.

Bank Nifty: The critical support level to keep an eye on is 44,150. If this level is breached, BNF could potentially decline to the gap-filling zone at 43,900. Meanwhile, a breakout from 44,300 (resistance level) could propel BNF upward, reaching 44,300 initially and eventually climbing to 44,500.

There seems to be more space for Nifty to move on the upside than Bank Nifty. So you could take your trades accordingly!

The big gap-up today was influenced by positive global signals, particularly the softer-than-expected inflation data in the US and the UK. This suggests optimism regarding a potential end to the interest rate cycle (bond yields have also come down). Moreover, the decline in India’s CPI inflation further contributed to the improved market sentiment.

Nifty chart November 3 - post-market analysis | marketfeed

BANK NIFTY (BNF) started the day at 43,318 with a big gap-up of 301 points. The index also consolidated in a 165-point range between 43,250 and 43,415 levels today. BNF closed at 43,318, up by 301 points or 0.7%.

Bank Nifty chart November 3 - post-market analysis | marketfeed

All indices closed in green. Nifty Realty (+2.54%) and Nifty Media (+1.38%) moved up the most.

Major Asian markets closed in green. European markets are currently trading flat-to-green.

Today’s Moves

Apollo Hospitals (+5.45%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer. The stock extended gains for the second day on the back of strong volumes.

Eicher Motors (+2.7%) moved up after the automaker reported a 3% year-on-year rise in sales for October. 

Shares of Adani Ports (+2.73%) rose after the company said it handled 37 million metric tonnes (MMT) of total cargo in October 2023, registering a growth of 48% YoY.

Bajaj Finserv (-2.5%) was NIFTY50’s top loser. Yesterday, Bajaj Finance issued warrants worth ₹1,190 crore to Bajaj Finserv.

Dr Reddy’s Labs (-1.4%) extended losses for the third day.  The fall comes after brokerages maintained a cautious stance on the stock despite the company’s financial recovery in Q2.

Markets Ahead

The major indices opened with a big gap and held their levels. This looks like a clear trap for option sellers from yesterday, as the markets have moved above Thursday’s selling zones. But there are still important resistances that have to be broken for the confirmation of a change in trend (or trend reversal).

Nifty:  The immediate support for the index is near 19,180 levels. A breakdown from there could make the index fall to 19,140 levels. Meanwhile, the immediate resistance is near 19,250. A breakout from there can give us targets of 19,350 on the upside, which is also the 50% Fibonacci retracement level.

Bank Nifty: The immediate support for BNF is near 43,230 levels, and the target to watch out for on the downside is 43,080 (gap-filling levels). On the other hand, the index could face a major resistance near 43,400 levels. A breakout from there might make the index hit 43,800 next.

On a weekly chart, both indices have made a Bullish Harami Pattern. If their respective highs are crossed, we can expect the coming week to be bullish.

Today, a rise in the Asian stock markets lifted market sentiments in India as well, thanks to lower US treasury yields and falling crude oil prices. However, there is still uncertainty due to rising prices, the war in West Asia, and how these factors might affect the global economy.

Nifty chart Sept 26 - post-market analysis | marketfeed

BANK NIFTY (BNF) started the day flat at 44,722 with a small gap-down of 43 points. The index consolidated in a 130-point range with a bearish bias— moving in a channel. BNF closed at 44,624, down by 141 points or 0.32%.

Bank Nifty chart Sept 26 - post-market analysis | marketfeed

All indices except Nifty FMCG (+0.52%), Nifty Auto (+0.35%), Nifty Metal (+0.31%), and Nifty Realty (+0.31%) closed in the red. Nifty Media (-0.86%) fell the most.

Major Asian markets closed up to 1.4% in the red. European markets are currently trading in the red.

Today’s Moves

Eicher Motors (+2.61%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer.  Brokerage firm Jefferies maintained its ‘Buy’ rating on the stock while raising its price target from ₹4,000 to ₹4,150. 

Cochin Shipyard (+11.07%) surged on the back of strong volumes. Defence stocks Garden Reach Shipbuilders and MTAR Tech gained up to 14%. 

As per a report from ICRA, private sector firms are likely to get defence contracts worth ₹60,000 crore in FY25.

Shares of Vodafone Idea (+6.98%) closed at a 20-month high.  The company’s shares have been rising since it announced a 50% payment of its license fees and spectrum usage charge (SUC) dues for the March quarter.

Tech Mahindra (-1.3%) was NIFTY50’s top loser. 

Indiabulls Real Estate (-3.46%) fell after Creditcorp Investment Advisors sold 30.95 lakh shares of the company in a bulk deal.

Markets Ahead

Markets continued to stay at lower levels, and no signs of strength were seen. Two consecutive Doji candles have been formed in the major indices. And depending on the highs and lows getting breached, we can expect the indices to move further in that direction.

Nifty: The current support to watch out for is near 19,630 levels. A breakdown from here could give us a target of 19,500. The important resistance is near the 19,700 levels, and a breakout from there may give us a target of 19,800 on the upside.

Bank Nifty: The immediate support to look out for is near 44,600. A breakdown from this level can give us a target of 44,300. On the other hand, a major resistance for BNF is near 44,800. A breakout from this round level can give us a target of 45,000 and 45,200

It was a relatively easy FIN NIFTY expiry for non-directional option sellers as the markets consolidated. However, option buyers might have had a bad day because of the quick moves in both directions.

The overall sentiment in the Indian markets remains weak as investors exercise caution in the wake of weak global cues and increased selling activity by FIIs.

Eicher Motors (-0.93%) was NIFTY50’s top loser. 

Natco Pharma (-3.5%) fell after the company was named a defendant in an antitrust lawsuit in the U.S.

Markets Ahead

As discussed earlier, the markets have turned bullish and buy-on-dips can be planned. The targets of 19,840 in Nifty and 45,370 in Bank Nifty were hit, and the bullishness could continue till immediate supports are breached.

Nifty: The index is near a very important resistance zone of 19,850-870. A breakout from this level can take the index to the all-time high (ATH) of 19,990 levels. Now, the important support zone for Nifty will be the previous swing of 19,730 levels. A breakdown from there with a re-test may take the index down to 19,680 and 19,630 levels.

Bank Nifty: The index finally broke out. Now, the immediate support to watch out for will be 45,150. A breakdown from there can take the index down to 45,000 and 44,800 levels. The immediate resistance would be 45,350. A breakout from that level can give us targets of 45,740.

The indices are on a strong uptrend. Many market participants are likely to buy during price dips, aiming to push the markets higher. This strategy is expected to continue until the key breakout levels of 19,640 in Nifty and 45,000 in Bank Nifty are maintained.

Meanwhile, global markets have stabilized today, while the U.S. Dollar appeared to be on its longest winning streak since 2014, thanks to a strong U.S. economy. Investors are anticipating that central banks will keep interest rates unchanged in the next two weeks.

What Happened Yesterday?

NIFTY started the day at 19,463 with a gap-down of 62 points. Initially, the index tried moving up, but 19,500 now turned into resistance. Failing to break the level, a crash without a retracement to 19,300 was seen. NIFTY closed at 19,381, down by 144 points or 0.74%. 

BANK NIFTY started the day at 44,862 with a gap-down of 132 points. It tried moving above 45,000 but found resistance. A fall of 750 points was seen after which BANK NIFTY closed at 44,513, down by 482 points or 1.07%. 

What to Expect Today?

US markets closed in the red. The European markets also closed in the red.

The Asian markets are trading mixed.

The U.S. Futures are trading slightly in the green.

GIFT NIFTY is trading slightly in the green at 19,486.

All the factors combined indicate a flat to gap-up opening in the market.

NIFTY has supports at 19,300, 19,240 and 19,200. We can expect resistances at 19,438, 19,513, and 19,566.

BANK NIFTY has supports at 44,280, 44,150 and 44,000. Resistances are at 44,600, 44,900 and 45,229.

NIFTY has the highest call OI build-up at 19,500 and 20,000. The highest put OI build-up is at 19,400 and 19,200.

Foreign Institutional Investors net-sold shares worth Rs -317 crores. Domestic Institutional Investors net-bough worth Rs 1729 crores.

INDIA VIX cooled 9% to 11.18.

The international markets did not show strength or a bounce back yesterday, even though NIFTY held on strong till noon. But just after noon, the 19,400 level was broken and another quick 100-point fall was seen. A bounce is what we expected but breaking important levels meant more fall.

NIFTY has now fallen 3% from its all-time high.

Support was taken at the level of 19,300 which was the level from early July in NIFTY. Bank NIFTY has reached back to early June consolidation levels.

You can expect consolidation from these zones with a very low chance of falling below 19,000. A quick rally back to all-time highs is not expected unless triggered by huge FII buying.

Otherwise, expecting a trading range of 19,100-19,650 for this week which will change according to market conditions.

Watch out for SBI volatility around the results, this may create some buzz!

We will be entering our new Smart Money (NIFTY) and Piggy Bank (BANK NIFTY) today. Follow along on the marketfeed app, or on our website for trades!
