India Market Outlook
GIFT Nifty Projection:
Gift Nifty suggests a flat to positive opening for the indian market amid mixed global cues. Nifty spot in todays session to extend previous session consolidation and trade in the range of 24050-24400.
Market in Previous Session:
Benchmark indices Nifty and Sensex on Tuesday snapped their two-day winning streak, dragged down by weakness in auto, pharma, and energy stocks amid a lack of fresh catalysts.
Although the session began on a positive note, both indices quickly reversed gains, reflecting a muted market sentiment.
At close, the Sensex was down 105.79 points or 0.13 % at 80,004.06, and the Nifty was down 27.40 points or 0.11% at 24,194.50.
The Nifty Auto, Energy, and Pharma indices experienced notable losses in the afternoon session. On the other hand, the Nifty IT and FMCG indices gained 1 percent each.
The broader market, represented by the midcap and smallcap indices, outperformed the benchmarks, recording gains of 0.1% and 0.6%, respectively.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The Index has formed a small bear candle which mostly remained enclosed inside the previous session's high-low range signalling consolidation after a strong up move of more than 1050 points in just two sessions.
We believe the current consolidation should be used as a buying opportunity. The index has immediate support at 24,000-23,700 being the lower band of Monday’s gap-up area and recent trendline breakout area. Immediate bias remains positive above the same.
We expect the index to extend pullback and head higher towards 24400-24500 levels in the coming sessions, being the confluence of the 50-day EMA and the 38.2% retracement of the entire decline (26277-23263).
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,280 followed by 24,390 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,110, followed by 24,000.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 52,430, followed by 52,000, while downside support is found at 51,670, followed by 51,520.
Derivative Market Analysis
Nifty:
The highest call OI remains intact at the 25,000 level, while call writing has been observed at the 24,400 and 24,500 zones, which will serve as immediate resistance.
On the other hand, major put OI has been noted at the 23,500 level, while immediate put OI has been noted at the 24,000 level, which will act as support.
According to option chain analysis, Nifty's immediate range is between the 24,000 and 24,500 levels. A breakout on either side of this range will likely trigger a further directional move.
The Nifty put-call ratio has declined by 0.07 and is now positioned at the 1.04 level.
Bank Nifty:
The highest call OI has been noted at the 54,000 level, while immediate call OI addition has been observed in the 52,500–52,600 zone, which will act as resistance for this monthly expiry.
Major put OI has been noted at the 51,000 level, while immediate put OI has been observed at the 52,000 level, which will act as crucial support.
For this monthly expiry, it is evident that put writers have shifted their positions to higher levels, and call unwinding has been noted, suggesting positive data points.
The max pain level for the monthly expiry is at the 52,000 level.
