Bank Nifty has a crucial support at 44,100 from where bounce is important. NIFTY has similarly important support at 19,300.

FIIs sold heavily in the market on Friday, will be interesting to see what they do today.

The heavy call OI buildups across the market indicates bearishness for now. But these short-sellers might get in trouble in case of heavy buying because even though some supports have been broken, the movement range has not been high.

Do remember that tomorrow is a market holiday on account of Independence Day, and the premiums will move accordingly. That means the FINNIFTY expiry will be today, trade accordingly!
