All indices except Nifty Auto (+0.5%), Nifty Media (+0.14%), and Nifty FMCG (+0.14%) closed flat-to-red. Nifty Metal (-0.88%) fell the most.

Major Asian markets closed mixed (Japan’s Nikkei fell 1.9%). European markets are currently trading in the red.

Today’s Moves

Bajaj Auto (+6.7%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer. The stock hit a 52-week high of ₹5,495 after the two-wheeler manufacturer reported strong Q2 results.

Shares of PSU civil construction company NBCC (India) Ltd (+9.5%) have zoomed over 60% in 3 months.

LTI Mindtree (+6.6%) jumped after the IT major posted Q2 earnings yesterday.

Wipro (-2.98%) was NIFTY50’s top loser. The company reported flat overall growth in Q2 due to the macroeconomic slowdown and cutbacks in discretionary spending in global markets.

MMTC (-9.95%) fell sharply today. The stock has crashed nearly 20% in 2 days on reports that the govt may shut down the company.

Markets Ahead

Bank Nifty made very volatile moves today. Meanwhile, Nifty tried recovering from the lows but faced rejection from the resistance zones.

Nifty: The important support to watch out for is 19,600. A breakdown from there may take the index down to 19,500 levels. The earlier resistance in Nifty will now act as support. The resistance to look out for will be 19,680 levels, and a breakout from there could give us targets of 19,720 and 19,800.

Bank Nifty: The immediate support in BNF is near today’s low and round levels of 43,500. This is an important long-term support zone as you can see in the chart below. A closing below that zone on a daily or weekly time frame could confirm long-term bearishness. On the other hand, the resistance zone is 44,000, and BNF needs to close above that for some bullishness or reversal.

Premiums in Nifty contracts today and Bank Nifty contracts yesterday experienced insane gamma spikes in Out of the Money (OTM) options. The premiums shot up from ₹1 to ₹25-20 in Nifty today and ₹15 premiums spiked to ₹300 yesterday in Bank Nifty! This creates panic situations for option sellers, whereas such moves reward option buyers if they’re in the right direction.

Today’s Moves

Apollo Hospital (+3.31%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer. The company launched an ‘enhanced connected care’ program to improve its patient monitoring system. 

MMTC (+20%) hit 20% upper circuit on the back of strong volumes. The stock has rallied 50% in 3 trading sessions.

Angel One (-3.75%) fell sharply. The company’s gross client acquisitions rose 64.9% YoY and 19% over last month to 7.3 lakh.

Markets Ahead

Markets are near resistance zones and holding major levels. A breakout on the upside can take the markets further up. And if rejection is taken, the indices can continue the down move with strength.

Nifty: The major resistance level for the index is at 19,600, which is also the Fibonacci rejection level of 50% drawn from the all-time high (ATH) of 19,990 levels. A breakout from 19,600 can confirm the trend reversal, and markets can turn bullish. We could plan to buy on dips, but if Nifty breaks the current support zones of 19,520, the index can again fall to 19,460 and 19,360 levels.

Bank Nifty: The important 50% fib rejection is near 45,000 round levels. But the immediate resistance level to watch out for is 44,800. The immediate support is near 44,400 levels, and a breakdown from there can take the index down to 44,000.

Fin Nifty: Being FINNIFTY expiry today, India Vix was at all-time lows below 11 and option premiums were very low. This created some confusion for option sellers. The index was bearish throughout the day— moving down gradually. As the fall was not quick, the implied volatility (IV) and premiums didn’t spike much, which could have created some trouble for option buyers. But it was a relatively easy expiry for option sellers.

The G20 Summit will kick off on Sept 8 in New Delhi. Leaders representing the world’s 20 major economies will address and seek resolutions for concerns like digital transformation, climate financing, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), food security, and other pressing issues.
