Bank Nifty chart - post-market analysis | marketfeed

All other indices except Nifty Finserv (-0.13%) closed flat-to-green. Nifty Pharma (+1.19%) moved up the most.

Major Asian markets closed mixed. European markets are currently trading flat-to-red.

Today’s Moves

L&T (+1.8%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer. The company’s ₹10,000 crore share buyback plan was subscribed over 7 times.

ITI Ltd (+7.13%) moved up on the back of strong volumes. The stock has rallied nearly 70% in September after the company said it successfully developed branded laptops and micro PCs under the name ‘Smaash’.

Senco Gold (+14%) surged after Ambit Capital said it’s bullish on the company’s expansion prospects in East India.

Titan Company (-1.47%) was NIFTY50’s top loser.

Vedanta (-6.7%) fell sharply to hit a 14-month low after ratings agency Moody’s downgraded the corporate family rating of parent Vedanta Resources Ltd.

Markets Ahead

Markets reversed with a lot of strength from the lows (with help from Reliance and ITC). But it’s currently taking resistance from important levels (23% Fibonacci levels from the top).

Nifty: The important resistance to watch out for is 19,740, which is also the 23% rejection level. A breakout from this level could give us targets of 19,790 and 19,840. Meanwhile, immediate support for Nifty is near 19,680 levels. A breakdown from there can give us targets of 19,630 and 19,560.

Bank Nifty: The index faces an important resistance near 44,700 levels, which is also the 23% fib level. A breakout from 44,700 could give us targets of 44,800 and 44,900. The immediate support is near 44,500 round levels, and a breakdown from here will give us targets of 44,320 and 44,200.

Being monthly expiry tomorrow, if there is a gap-down, major indices could fall further down. If there’s a gap-up, they could be volatile and bullish.

As per reports, concerns about global interest rates and high crude oil prices are being balanced by positive domestic factors like expected economic growth and the potential for good corporate earnings.

What levels are you watching out for monthly expiry tomorrow? Let us know in the comments section!

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.

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.

US markets closed in the red. The European markets also closed in the red.

The Asian markets are trading mixed.

The U.S. Futures are trading slightly in the green.

GIFT NIFTY is trading slightly in the green at 19,486.

All the factors combined indicate a flat to gap-up opening in the market.

INDIA VIX cooled 9% to 11.18.

The international markets did not show strength or a bounce back yesterday, even though NIFTY held on strong till noon. But just after noon, the 19,400 level was broken and another quick 100-point fall was seen. A bounce is what we expected but breaking important levels meant more fall.

NIFTY has now fallen 3% from its all-time high.

Support was taken at the level of 19,300 which was the level from early July in NIFTY. Bank NIFTY has reached back to early June consolidation levels.

You can expect consolidation from these zones with a very low chance of falling below 19,000. A quick rally back to all-time highs is not expected unless triggered by huge FII buying.

Otherwise, expecting a trading range of 19,100-19,650 for this week which will change according to market conditions.

Watch out for SBI volatility around the results, this may create some buzz!
