Today’s Moves

Divi’s Labs (+2.02%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer. The stock extended gains for the fourth day in a row. 

Tata Investment Corp (+15.17%) rallied ahead of Tata Technologies’ IPO on Nov 22.

Latent View (+9.25%) surged on the back of strong volumes.

Adani Enterprises (-2.67%) was NIFTY50’s top loser. As per a Reuters report, Indian investigators aim to resume a probe into Adani Group. The inquiry focuses on suspected coal import overvaluation.

Bajaj Finance (-2.11%) fell after the lender temporarily suspended issuing member ID cards to customers following RBI’s order.

Shares of Balkrishna Industries (-5.51%) fell sharply, extending losses for the second straight session. 

Markets Ahead

The Indian markets are currently holding near crucial resistance levels. However, the rise in India VIX and a PCR of 0.73 suggest a degree of bearish sentiment (especially in Bank Nifty). Given that both indices have been trading in a range, a decisive breakout or breakdown from these levels could lead to significant moves in the respective directions.

Nifty: The critical support level to monitor is around 19,660. If there’s a breakdown from this level, potential targets in the index could be 19,600 and 19,500. On the other, the resistance to keep an eye on is at 19,720. A breakout from this level might lead to targets of 19,760, 19,800, and 19,860.

Bank Nifty: The key resistance level to monitor is at 43,800. A breakout from this level could propel the index to 44,000 and 44,200 levels. Meanwhile, the support level to keep an eye on is around 43,400. A breakdown from this level might lead to targets of 43,000 and 42,500 eventually.

Following today’s consolidation, the upcoming FINNIFTY expiry tomorrow could be volatile. So stay alert for directional movements and trade with caution.

Today’s Moves

SBI Life Insurance (+3.97%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer. The stock extended gains for the third day in a row.

Tata Investment Corp (+20%) surged on account of value unlocking opportunity with Tata Technologies IPO. The public offer opens for subscription on November 22.

State Bank of India (-3.69%) was NIFTY50’s top loser. 

RBL Bank (-7.7%), Aditya Birla Capital (-5.6%), SBI Card (-5.14%), and other banking and NBFC stocks crashed after the RBI tightened the norms for personal loans and credit cards.

Markets Ahead

Markets gave a strong closing on a weekly time frame. Looking at the daily timeframe, there is a retracement of 38% in the Fibonacci levels for Bank Nifty. However, it’s important to note that this retracement is for the uptrend from 42,100 levels. When examining the same retracement levels from 46,300 levels, it coincides with the 50% rejection zone. This suggests a bearish sentiment on an even larger time frame.

On the other hand, Nifty looks stronger than Bank Nifty, and no retracement was observed. So if Bank Nifty shows weakness, there is a possibility that Nifty might experience a slight dip as well.

Nifty: The key support levels for the index are at 19,600 and 19,500. If there’s a breakdown from 19,630, potential targets could be 19,500 and 19,400. On the other hand, the major resistance level to monitor is around 19,860. A breakout from there might set a target of 20,000.

Bank Nifty: A vital support level to monitor is around 43,400. A breakdown from this level could confirm short-term bearishness, with potential downside targets at 43,000 and 42,500. On the other hand, significant resistance is evident near 44,800, while the immediate resistance lies at 44,000. A breakout from there could cause the index to rise to 44,400 and 44,800.

The Indian stock market displayed a mixed performance today, marked by a decline in financial stocks as RBI tightened consumer lending rules. Meanwhile, global markets have been strong due to the easing U.S. interest rate outlook and a decline in oil prices.
