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.

BANK NIFTY has the high call OI build-up at 44,000. The highest put OI build-up is also at 43,500. PCR is at 0.77.

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.
