Markets Ahead

Another day in the red for NIFTY. Ahead of the weekly expiry and Fed Decision tomorrow, markets stayed cautious and slowly moved down.

Individual stock movements are currently less in NIFTY 50, but we can see in the daily charts that many major stocks are at support levels. You can look at Reliance, Bajaj Finance and Finserv as examples for stocks at their support levels.

If a significant decision is coming, we can expect a big gap-up/down opening in our markets tomorrow. You can keep a track of how the U.S. markets react to their announcement tonight. If there is no significant move at opening time, we can expect NIFTY to trade between 17,050 and 17,350 tomorrow. 

Open Interest in Bank Nifty is indicating a range of 36,500-37,000 for tomorrow’s expiry. An opening beyond this zone will trigger volatility, otherwise we can expect a sideways move.

But according to my expectations, a week where Bank Nifty stayed calm on Tuesday and Wednesday might lead to a volatile Thursday. Tell me what you expect in the comments down below!

Though Nifty took immediate support from 17,430s, it continued to fall till 17,400.

BANK NIFTY opened the day at 37,128, then moved down and even broke the 37k support. It took support from the day high made on October 7, near 36,820. You can watch out for 36,880-36780 in the coming days as a crucial support zone for Bank Nifty. Both Nifty and Bank Nifty falling to the support zone at the same time was a good sign and recovery was easy. Bank Nifty closed at 37,105, up by 23 points or 0.06%.

The market has been highly volatile but managed to close strong after major vaccine manufacturers said that 3 shots of vaccine can fight Omicron and a new vaccine will be ready in 3 months ‘if required’.

Nifty(17,500) and Bank Nifty(37,000) closing above crucial levels, give some light in the dark as confusion on Omicron also cools down.

A very calm weekly expiry after the week started off with high volatility. The week continued to follow the tradition that if a week starts off volatile, there is likely to be consolidation on Thursday.

But it was not perfect consolidation for intraday traders. Nifty opened with a gap-up, then crashed down and then gained back up and fell again. The index however closed slightly above yesterday’s high. It was kept in the green with the movement from ITC and Reliance.

Bank Nifty traded perfectly between yesterday’s high and low. In fact, the Bank Nifty Future traded between 37,000 and 37,500 very peacefully. Curiously, HDFC Bank fell. It would be interesting to note that HDFC Life and HDFC AMC are near their 52-week lows.

Still watching for the closing above 17,600 for NIFTY for a show of strengths by bulls. There is also the 50-day moving average around 17,800 which will have to be broken for an indication of bullishness to continue for longer.

Another day of green in the market with positivity continuing.

NIFTY opened the day at 17,319 with a big gap-up again. From there it kept on moving up and found resistance at 17,440. Towards closing time, even this level was broken and NIFTY closed the day at 17,470, up by 293 points or 1.71%.

All sectoral indices closed in the green once again. Nifty Media(+2.5%), PSU Bank(+2.5%) and Auto(+2.3%) closed above 2% in the green.

All major Asian markets closed in the green today. All European markets are trading flat currently.

News Picks

Bajaj Finance(+3.6%) and Bajaj Finserv(+3%) closed among the top-gainers of NIFTY 50. Both stocks are reaching their 50-day moving averages.

SBI(+3.1%) and ICICI Bank(+2.5%) also moved up from the financials sector.

Markets moved up once again with good forecasts from the RBI today. In today’s meeting, the GDP growth forecast for Q3 is set at 6.6%. They also said various parts of the economy have already crossed pre-pandemic levels of output.

European markets look like they have cooled back down after multiple days of a 2% + rally. Auto stocks are also seeing a power along with NIFTY IT. Both indices are at breakouts.

One interesting thing to note is that Maruti had no certain EV and Hybrid Car plans yet. If it does announce one such plan in the coming days, the current lead by Tata Motors in the EV business could easily be covered. Maruti stock is also at the 50-day moving average line. If it gives a breakout, we can expect more moves from the stock!

FIIs continued to be net sellers in the week heavily. Domestic Investors are looking strong, continuing to buy up for thousands of crores. We can see how this shapes up by the beginning of the next calendar year.

For now, you can watch for a closing above 17,600 for NIFTY to see a continuation of strength by the bulls. It was the high made on the last week of November!

News Picks

Hindalco(+5%) shot up in the day after saying aluminium prices are up. Tata Steel(+3.6%) and JSW Steel(+2.7%) also followed the stock to close in the top-gainers of NIFTY 50. Also, the Govt is planning to increase customs duty on primary aluminium to 10% from the current 7.5%, which might boost aluminium sales.

Markets Ahead

NIFTY reacted with strength to the bullishness shown in global markets. The European markets are in the green today as well after moving up 2% each yesterday.

Finance Ministry says FIIs have raised concerns on the transition to T+1 settlement. Wondering if the heavy selling for the past many months were following this concern. Since the government has acknowledged this situation, maybe they are also currently trying to solve the issue.

If it was, and we also see net buying by Foreign Investors in the cash market today, we can make a calculated guess that their buying would continue.

Only a few stocks from NIFTY 50 closed in the red today. A strong close above 17,200 would be necessary for short-term confidence in the market. And for Nifty to turn bullish, we would need a move above 17,600.

Do you think FIIs will turn net buyers today? Will the bullish rally continue? Let us know in the comments section of the marketfeed app.

A red day in Indian markets with heavy selling by institutions resuming. What started with a flat opening in the morning saw NIFTY close at its lowest level since August. 

What was interesting is that there was no single big contributor to the fall. All stocks across major indices kept on moving down to pull the market further and further down.

During market hours, once Bank Nifty initially bounced back above the 36,000 level, there was heavy Put Option buildup at the 36k strike. The next time it was broken, a heavy fall was seen probably because of all these sellers running for cover. Bank Nifty closed near the day-low of 35,700.

Our intraday bearish level of 16,980 that we discussed on Friday gave a good move when broken. Our positional level of 16,800 still holds even though NIFTY is beaten down heavily today.

 Will the weakness continue as dip-buyers run out of money? Can DIIs continue to pump in thousands of crores every day? What do you think? Let us know in the comments section of the marketfeed app.

A bearish day in the market with many of yesterday’s gains being lost.

All sectors except NIFTY MEDIA closed in the red. NIFTY FMCG and NIFTY FINSERV closed with a more than 1% fall.

Major Asian markets closed mixed today. All European markets are trading slightly in the red currently.

News Picks

UPL gained in the day and closed among the top-gainers in NIFTY 50. Parliament is looking to spend more than expected on fertilizer subsidies. Other chemical stocks also showed strength.

BPCL, ONGC and IOC closed in the green. The stocks are trying to gain back after the November fall.

PowerGrid fell in the day after closing as the top-gainer yesterday. Reliance also fell along with Kotak Bank, TechM and Asian Paints to close among NIFTY’s top-losers.

IEX had a stock split and gained 5% in the day.

Except for SunTV and Inox, all Nifty Media stocks closed in the green today. Network18, PVR gained more than 3% each while ZEEL gained 2.16%.

Markets Ahead

NIFTY closed in red for Friday but has ended the week in green. In fact, NIFTY has ended a week in green after 2 weeks in red.

Reliance was the major contributor of bearishness to the market today. The stock is trading rangebound for many days now and took resistance at 2500 and support at 2400 today.

NIFTY is still in a sell on rise mood, with Foreign Institutional Investors continuing their heavy selling spree. DIIs are failing to keep up as funds are probably drying up as retailers book profits from mutual funds due to economic re-opening spending. You can read more about DIIs here.

NIFTY will only turn bullish now if it can break the high from last week. That level is somewhere around 17,600. The 50-day Moving Average is near 17,800. Both levels are important in the next phase of market movement. 

For a bearish view, you can watch out for 16,980 intraday and a close under 16,800 for positional trades. The best way to shield yourself from this situation is to spread out investments as we have been discussing! Hope you had a profitable week!

Also, India’s November gross GST revenue collection is Rs 1.32 lakh crores, up 25% (YoY). This could have given the market some positivity.

NIFTY has started the week in green, along with other global markets. However, NIFTY and BANK NIFTY are still trading below yesterday’s high. So currently, we cannot say that there is bullishness yet in the market.
