Bank Nifty chart August 22 - post-market analysis

All indices except Nifty PSU Bank (-0.49%), Nifty Pharma (-0.2%), Nifty IT (-0.11%), and Nifty Finserv (-0.1%) closed flat-to-green. Nifty Metal (+0.85%) moved up the most.

Major Asian markets closed in green. European markets are currently trading up to 1% in the green.

Today’s Moves

Adani Ent (+2.21%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer. ​​Kempas Trade & Investment (a promoter group company) acquired 2.53 crore shares of Adani Enterprises between August 7-18, raising its overall stake in the company to 69.87%.

BHEL (+10%) hit a six-year high of ₹112.85. The company secured an order worth ₹4,000 crore from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adani Power yesterday.

Linde India (+9.86%) hit a 52-week high of ₹5,900 after the company said it expects healthy growth from the healthcare sector and expansion in the steel sector.

BPCL (-1.46%) was NIFTY50’s top loser. 

Tamilnad Mercantile Bank (-5.2%) fell after its massive 19% rally yesterday. The company has partnered with fintech platform provider Jocata to offer digital lending products to customers.

Markets Ahead

Both indices tried moving up, but there wasn’t enough strength in the market. Nifty and Bank Nifty have been mostly consolidating over the past few trading sessions, and this indicates that there could be a directional breakout or breakdown in the coming days.

Nifty: The immediate support zone for Nifty is 19,380 and 19,350 levels. The immediate resistance is 19,420— and a breakout from this level can give us targets of 19,490, 19,500 and eventually 19,600. On the downside, we can expect a target of 19,300 (a very strong support).

Bank Nifty:  The index has been in a very tight consolidation within a range between 44,100 and 43,700. Let’s wait for a breakout or breakdown from these levels with a re-test for further confirmation of the direction.

Fin Nifty: The index had a bearish day as it fell 130 points from the day’s high. But as the fall was slow and gradual, it never gave trouble for non-directional option sellers. 19,650 remains strong as a resistance level, and 19,500 can act as an immediate support zone.

As per reports, the strong US economy is supporting global growth and global equity markets. However, the sharp spike in US bond yields (the 10-year yield at 4.34% is the highest since 2007) is negatively affecting the flow of capital to emerging markets like India. If bond yields go down and inflation softens, things might improve.

Nifty closed at 19,393, up by 83 points or 0.43% 

Nifty chart Aug 21 - post-market analysis

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.
