The Asian markets are trading mixed.

The U.S. Futures are trading slightly in the green.

GIFT NIFTY is trading slightly in the green at 19,486.

All the factors combined indicate a flat to gap-up opening in the market.

NIFTY has supports at 19,300, 19,240 and 19,200. We can expect resistances at 19,438, 19,513, and 19,566.

BANK NIFTY has supports at 44,280, 44,150 and 44,000. Resistances are at 44,600, 44,900 and 45,229.

Foreign Institutional Investors net-sold shares worth Rs -317 crores. Domestic Institutional Investors net-bough worth Rs 1729 crores.

INDIA VIX cooled 9% to 11.18.

The international markets did not show strength or a bounce back yesterday, even though NIFTY held on strong till noon. But just after noon, the 19,400 level was broken and another quick 100-point fall was seen. A bounce is what we expected but breaking important levels meant more fall.

NIFTY has now fallen 3% from its all-time high.

Support was taken at the level of 19,300 which was the level from early July in NIFTY. Bank NIFTY has reached back to early June consolidation levels.

You can expect consolidation from these zones with a very low chance of falling below 19,000. A quick rally back to all-time highs is not expected unless triggered by huge FII buying.

Otherwise, expecting a trading range of 19,100-19,650 for this week which will change according to market conditions.

Watch out for SBI volatility around the results, this may create some buzz!
