Nifty: Keep an eye on the resistance levels at 19,460 and 19,500. If there’s a breakout, we might see the index aiming for 19,540 and 19,600. On the other hand, the critical support for Nifty is at 19,400. If it falls below this level, potential targets could be 19,360 and 19,330.

Bank Nifty: The resistance levels to keep an eye on are at 43,900 and 44,000. A breakout might set a target at 44,000 and a larger one at 44,500. On the downside, the key support levels are at 43,800 and 43,700. If there’s a breakdown, potential targets could be 43,500 and 43,300.

Bank Nifty chart November 13 - post-market analysis | marketfeed

The Indian market continues to consolidate due to various factors: the sudden slowdown in Industrial Production (IIP) growth in Sept 2023, and the declining manufacturing PMI mirror global patterns influenced by rising interest rates and inflation. The weakness in the Indian Rupee has made FIIs adopt a cautious stance. However, the market’s potential decline is limited by robust Q2 earnings, economic stability, and consistent DII investments.

The markets will be closed tomorrow (Nov 14) on account of Diwali-Balipratipada! marketfeed wishes all our readers a Happy Diwali! 🪔

Even though there were no follow-up candles, the index closed in slight green. Nifty closed at 19,465, up by 30 points or 0.16% 

Nifty chart - Aug 16 - post-market analysis

BANK NIFTY (BNF) started the day at 43,726 with a gap-down of 364 points. The index struggled a lot to recover as it faced strong rejection from the 44k zone. BNF closed at 43,946, down by 144 points or 0.33%. 

Bank Nifty chart - Aug 16 - post-market analysis

All other indices except Nifty Metal (-0.94%) closed in green. Nifty Media (+1.2%) and Nifty Realty (+1.1%) moved up the most. 

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

Today’s Moves

Apollo Hospitals (+2.51%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer. The pharma company’s MD gave forward-looking commentary on its business on Monday.

Cochin Shipyard (+17.4%) hit a new 52-week high of ₹822 after posting strong Q1 results.

JBM Auto (+10.13%) jumped after the Union Cabinet approved ‘PM-eBus Sewa’ for boosting city bus operations.

Tata Steel (-1.86%) was NIFTY50’s top loser.

Hindustan Copper (-6.23%) fell sharply after the company posted weak numbers for Q1 FY24.

Markets Ahead

Key indices replicate Monday’s movements! After the opening red candle, both Nifty and Bank Nifty started moving up, similar to Monday.

Try to draw a trendline connecting tomorrow’s first two swing low points, and if this trendline is broken, it might bring a proper movement (if the initial trend is to the upside). You can also use a 200 exponential moving average (EMA) in the 5 mins chart to get more clarity.

Major weakness is being built up as both Nifty and Bank Nifty create lower lows and lower highs for more than a week.

I will be watching Nifty’s 19,500 (resistance), 19,360, 330, 300 (immediate support) and 19,250 (major support) tomorrow.

In Bank Nifty, let’s mark 44,100,44,200 (resistances) and 44,600 and 44,540 as major levels for expiry day.

Inflation (CPI) numbers have been a supporting factor for the Indian market for many months. Now, recently released above-expected inflation numbers are bringing more weakness to our market

What levels are you watching out for expiry tomorrow? Let us know in the comments section of the marketfeed app.
