What to Expect Today?

NIFTY started the day at 19,784 with a small gap-up. It tried to move up but failed, and eventually consolidated with a bearish bias. NIFTY closed at 19,733, down by 20 points or 0.1%.

BANK NIFTY started the day at 45,740 and consolidated. But after 1 hour, it lost strength and moved down. BANK NIFTY closed at 45,592, up 58 points or 0.13%.

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

The Asian markets are mostly trading in the red.

The U.S. Futures are trading in the red.

GIFT NIFTY is trading in the red at 19,747.

All the factors combined indicate a gap-down opening in the market.

NIFTY has supports at 19,760, 19,660, 19,617 and 19,566. We can expect resistances at 19,784, 19,846 and 19,920.

BANK NIFTY has supports at 45,472, 45,230, and 44,900. Resistances are at 45,860, 46,000, and 46,240.

INDIA VIX is at 10.28.

Reliance dragged the market down yesterday, while HDFC Bank and Infy moved it up.

The market was trying to stay up and consolidate near this zone before a breakout. But looks like the global markets are not playing along!

A gap-down of 50 points is expected and you know the major levels to watch out for from above. The put sellers at 19,700 will be okay, as they are mostly straddle positions. If the market moves towards 19,600 levels, the sellers there will cover their positions and drag NIFTY down to 19,500 zones.

Global markets which were consolidating near their all-time highs, might see a small correction, but not expecting huge reactions as we can see from U.S. futures.

So watch out for initial weakness, but a rebound towards the second half of the day if European markets move to green.

Tomorrow is the first expiry of the August series. Hope you have a strong 2 days of trading ahead!

We will be trading Smart Money (NIFTY) and Piggy Bank (BANK NIFTY) today. Follow along on the marketfeed app, or on our website for trades!
