GIFT NIFTY is trading flat at 22,253.

All the factors combined indicate a flat opening in the market.

BANKNIFTY has supports at 46,950, 46,700 and 46,470. We can expect resistances at 47,200, 47,420 and 47,600.

In BANKNIFTY, there is high call OI resistance at 47,500. There is a high put OI support at 47,000. PCR is highly bullish at 1.55.

Foreign Institutional Investors net-sold shares worth Rs -1,335.51 crores. Domestic Institutional Investors net-bought shares worth Rs 1,491 crores.

INDIA VIX jumped to 16.07.

The market gave another breakout with strength being seen in private banks. HDFC Bank, Axis Bank and Kotak Bank contributed 2/3rd of NIFTY’s move.

There was a good move in BANKNIFTY and FINNIFTY too!

There are good premiums available around the market with the high VIX. The BNF 47,000 straddle for today’s expiry has a total premium of 450+ points. So for around plus or minus 450 points of the 47k mark, I would not be worried about BANK NIFTY making a big move. 

But beyond this, a really good move can be expected. By the end of the day, expect some volatile action before the Fed Minutes release tonight. Keep an eye out for the OI data throughout the day!
