What to Expect Today?
The Asian markets are trading mostly in the red.
The U.S. Futures are trading flat.
GIFT NIFTY is trading flat at 19,300.
All the factors combined indicate a flat to gap-down opening in the market.
NIFTY has supports at 19,360, 19,300 and 19,240 and 19,200. We can expect resistances at 19,438, 19,560 and 19,620.
BANK NIFTY has supports at 43,840, 43,750 and 43,680 and 43,540. Resistances are at 43,960, 44,100, 44,277 and 44,520.

BANK NIFTY has the high call OI build-up at 44,000The highest put OI build-up is also at 44,000. PCR is at 0.75.
Foreign Institutional Investors net-sold shares worth Rs -1,510 crores. Domestic Institutional Investors net-bought worth Rs -314 crores.
INDIA VIX is at 12.24, slightly moving up again.
I am looking eagerly into how the international markets will perform today, and if it will give NIFTY some direction next week. The U.S. market is seeing more and more falls per day along with a rise in volatility.
NIFTY and BANK NIFTY are near crucial supports, and it is important to note that they are at their worst closing levels in more than 40 days.
This does not mean that the market has to fall from here. But the combined factors including India VIX increasing 20% in the last 2 weeks and the markets reaching key supports, indicate that a fall is probable.
If the market shows strength today with FII buying, it would be a positive indication for the upcoming week.
So just like last week, this Friday could turn out to be a trendsetting day for the week ahead. Do watch out for the major supports ahead. If you are a bull in the market, keep watching 19,650 on the upper side to confirm the strength.
Hope you all had a good expiry yesterday. Let’s hope for more weeks of profitability going deeper into August.
