Both smallcap and midcap indices hit their all-time highs yesterday. 

Meanwhile, we saw afternoon falls in major indices - NIFTY and BANK NIFTY, contributed by HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank. 

Markets fell due to bad economic data in Europe. But the fall was more sponsored by the aggressive BANK NIFTY put sellers getting in trouble, with PCR moving from 1.03 to just 0.57.

As today is the monthly expiry, we can expect a good trading range in the market. Expecting some good volatile moves today and tomorrow for the market. 

Just like yesterday’s aggressive put sellers, there are strong call sellers in the market today. But for short-covering to be seen 44,400 and 44,500 would need to be broken.

Expecting a trading range between 44,000 and 44,400 to start off the day in BANK NIFTY, but will be a bit cautious for bigger moves. Looking at 19,300-19,500 in NIFTY. Positions will be taken even further from expected trading ranges.

Let’s see how the market makers take things up for the first half of the day!
