Post-Market Analysis for August 21, 2023:

NIFTY started the day at 19,320 with a small gap-up of 10 points (above the support zone of 19,300). Initially, the index tested the 19,300 round level, and then there was a steady up-move of 120 points to 19,420 levels (which is also a major resistance zone). Nifty closed at 19,393, up by 83 points or 0.43% 

Nifty chart Aug 21 - post-market analysis

BANK NIFTY (BNF) started the day at 43,952 with a gap-down of 101 points. The index moved in the range of the first 5min candle initially, and then gradually went up to 44,100 levels to make a triple-top near that zone. It took rejection there and fell nearly 150 pts after 3 PM. BNF closed at 44,002, up by 150 points or 0.34%. 

Bank Nifty chart Aug 21 - post-market analysis

All indices except Nifty PSU Bank (-0.6%) and Nifty Media (-0.29%) closed in green. Nifty Metal (+1.3%) moved up the most. 

Major Asian markets closed mixed. European markets are currently trading up to 1.1% in the green.

Today’s Moves

Bajaj Finance (+2.7%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer.

Tamilnad Mercantile Bank (+18.19%) hit a 52-week high of ₹581 amid buying action in banking and financial sector stocks. 

NMDC Steel (+12.49%) surged after reports stated that the company’s disinvestment process could pick up after its new plant gets commissioned.

Reliance (-1.4%) was NIFTY50’s top loser. Shares of Jio Financial Services got listed at ₹265 on BSE and ₹262 on NSE today. The stock hit a 5% lower circuit after listing.

Tanla Platforms (-5.76%) fell sharply after the company said it will be ending its partnership with Vodafone Idea in November.

Brightcom Group (-4.9%) shares were locked in lower circuit despite the company claiming it posted strong Q1 FY24 results.

Markets Ahead

Major indices are currently trading near resistance zones, but good support was taken from important levels in both Nifty and Bank Nifty. The indices are still in a downtrend over the past 4 weeks. And if there’s a gap down or down move after a flat opening tomorrow, the indices can turn bearish again. If there’s a gap up above the resistance zone or a flat opening with upside movement, we can expect the indices to turn bullish. 

Nifty: The index is at the top of the down-trending channel. The important resistance to watch out for is clearly 19,420 levels, and the important support zone is 19,300 and 19,350 levels (which is also the previous swing). A breakout on the upside will clear the down-trending channel resistance and horizontal resistance to give an up-move till 19,500-520 levels.

Bank Nifty: The index is currently trading within a range, consistently encountering resistance around the 44,100 mark and finding support near the 43,750 level. A potential upward breakout could lead to targets of 44,300 and even 44,500, while a breakdown may set targets at 43,400.

Fin Nifty: Being Fin Nifty expiry tomorrow, it’s crucial to monitor key levels. The significant support level to observe is today’s low of 19,500. On the other hand, the imp resistance point is at 19,620, where the index has faced repeated rejections. A successful breakout above this could lead to targets of 19,700 and 19,770. On the other hand, if there’s a breakdown, targets could be at 19,440 and 19,340 levels.

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

Can NIFTY Stay Above Supports? – Pre-Market Analysis Report

Here are some of the major updates that could move the markets today:

Stocks

Jio Financial Services will get listed on the market today. Intraday trading is restricted for the stock for 10 days, and it will have a circuit limit of 5%. The share price is expected to be around ₹300.

Titan acquired an additional 27.18% equity stake in CaratLane from its founder and his family members, for Rs 4,621 crore in cash. This will take their shareholding to more than 98%.

M&M announced a proactive inspection of certain wiring and spring parts in XUV models. Inspection and rectification will be carried out for free.

KEC International has secured new orders worth Rs 1,007 crore across its various businesses.

What Happened on Friday?

NIFTY started the day at 19,301 with a small gap-down. The index tried moving up but fell to 19,250 levels. There was good buying and a failed breakout after 2 PM. Nifty closed at 19,310, down by 55 points or 0.28% 

BANK NIFTY 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. BANK NIFTY closed at 43,851, down by 40 points or 0.09%. 

U.S. markets closed flat. The European markets closed in the red.

What to Expect Today?

The Asian markets are trading mixed.

The U.S. Futures are trading flat.

GIFT NIFTY is trading flat at 19,320.

All the factors combined indicate a flat opening in the market.

NIFTY has supports at 19,240, 19,200 and 19,130. We can expect resistances at 19,360, 19,438, 19,560 and 19,620.

BANK NIFTY has supports at 43,680 and 43,540 and 43,470. Resistances are at 43,960, 44,100 and 44,277.

NIFTY has the highest call OI build-up at 19,400. The highest put OI build-up is at 19,300. PCR is at 0.83.

BANK NIFTY has the high call OI build-up at 44,000. The highest put OI build-up is also at 43,500. PCR is at 0.77.

Foreign Institutional Investors net-sold shares worth Rs -339 crores. Domestic Institutional Investors net-bought worth Rs 267 crores.

INDIA VIX is at 12.14. 

I was looking for this week’s direction from the market on Friday. Our market moved down till the important support of 19,240 then easily bounced up. The 1-day chart confirms that it is a good buying zone.

The market is weak with NIFTY closing at the worst level since 30 June.

Friday gave a trend of a consolidation week, keeping this as the current expectation of the week. 

But we will be keeping strict stop losses on the lower side, to prevent damage from a fall. Again, keep in mind that we are near very important support in NIFTY. 

BANK NIFTY is trapped in a very wide consolidation zone around June ranges. Expect some volatile up and down movements within them!

Today’s expectation is a flat opening followed by selling till 19,240 again. From here, expecting buying to kick in and keep the market stable.

Follow along with Smart Money (NIFTY) and Piggy Bank (BANK NIFTY) trades. Follow along on the marketfeed app, or on our website for trades!

Make sure that you tune in to The Stock Market Show at 7 PM on our YouTube channel. All the best for the day!

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.

Major results today: Reliance Industries, HDFC Life, Dodla, DLF, JSW Steel, Ultratech Cement.

What to Expect Today?

NIFTY opened with flat at 19,831 and initially moved down. Being the weekly expiry, index saw volatility but bounced back strongly from 19,760. After this, an intense 230 point rally took NIFTY up to the close at 19,979, up by 146 points or 0.74%. 

BANK NIFTY opened with a small gap-up at 45,725 and looked much more strong. It slowly moved up in the afternoon, but gave a breakout above the all-time high. The index closed at 46,186, up by 517 points or 1.13%.

The general US markets closed mixed, as tech stocks pushed NASDAQ down 2%. The European markets closed higher.

The Asian markets are trading mixed.

The U.S. Futures are trading flat.

GIFT NIFTY is trading down at 19,866, after Infy’s fall.

All the factors combined indicate a gap-down opening.

NIFTY has supports at 19,820, 19,765, 19,740 and 19,725. We can expect resistances at 19,900 and 19,950.

BANK NIFTY has supports at 46,000, 45,900 and 45,800. Resistances are at 46,253, 46,300, and 46,500.

NIFTY has the highest call OI build-up at 20,000. The highest put OI build-up is at 19,800.

Foreign Institutional Investors net-bought shares worth Rs 3,370 crores. Domestic Institutional Investors net-sold shares worth Rs 193 crores.

INDIA VIX is at 11.78.

Bank Nifty showed consistent strength throughout the day, and once it broke the all-time high gave multiple bursts of strength. Both indices closed at fresh all-time highs. Reliance saw a net positive move after the demerger.

The best moves are the ones without any news or reason. And the time for the looks to have temporarily ended in NIFTY with the starting of results season.

Expect a gap-down opening in NIFTY with Infosys volatility. And expect intraday volatility from Reliance results. If both stocks start moving down, NIFTY would see strong good pull-back towards 19,750 zones.

Bank Nifty option chain remains interesting. With a huge straddle buildup at 46,000, OI indicates that further rally is not optimal. But a breakout, and short-covering can only be expected if another round of fireworks push it above 46,700, which is quite far away.

ICICI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Yes Bank will be in focus ahead of their results tomorrow.

With it being the monthly expiry series, we can expect some calm before the storm next Thursday. The fresh all-time high made yesterday near 20,000 might be defended till then.

I will watch 19,845 on the downside in NIFTY. 19,920 can be watched on the upside.

Nifty: Now, the important resistance for Nifty will be the bigger round level of 20,000 and support will be 19,840 levels. If Nifty crosses the 20,000 mark, it can move further higher to a target of 20,080 as per pivot levels. If the index crosses 19,930, which is the previous swing, a target of 19,888 and 19,840 levels can be achieved.

If there’s a breakout on the upside, the index can move to 46,600 zones according to pivot levels. A breakdown from 46,000 can give us a target of 45,870 and 45,760 levels eventually.
