Last week’s low was tested by NIFTY yesterday, and the market quickly bounced back up. Even though there was no strength for a big rally, the market remained fairly calm after the initial fall.
October has started off with bearishness, and now the international markets are also looking to fall. Dow Jones closed 1.2% in the red, and this indicates a gap-down opening for us today.
If we are looking at the Fib retracement levels, the support level to watch out for is around 19,420. The market might get pulled into that with a gap-down.
We currently have only calls sold in the market, and depending on the premiums might sell calls more aggressively.
The market was expected to consolidate, but let’s see how much the gap-down affects it!
In BANK NIFTY, I will be watching out for 43,900 and 44,600.
