PCE price index, the Fed's key inflation measure, will be released this Friday. It's anticipated to reflect a slowdown in spending, following Fed warnings that persistent inflation may hinder rate cuts this year.

The dollar had a solid beginning for the week as investors watched out for inflation data from the US, Europe, and Japan to gauge global interest rates. It closed at 104.40 on the dollar index.

India Market Outlook

  1. GIFT Nifty Projection:

Gift Nifty suggests a flat opening amid mixed global signals. After a flat start, the Nifty spot is expected to continue yesterday's consolidation within the broad range of 22,820-23,050.

  1. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

The benchmark indices experienced high volatility and closed slightly lower due to mixed global cues. The Nifty formed a bear candle, indicating consolidation above its recent breakout range (22800-21700).

The Nifty started positively, reaching a new all-time high of 23110 mid-session, but profit booking led to a marginal close at 22932, down by 0.1%. In contrast, Bank Nifty outperformed, closing 0.63% higher at 49281.

Despite short-term volatility expected ahead of the general election and Q4 earnings season, the index is anticipated to trend positively towards 23300.

Key support is seen at 22400-22500, with dips being buying opportunities. The swift retracement of the recent consolidation signals a robust price structure favouring the ongoing uptrend.

  1. Intraday Levels:

Nifty: Intraday resistance is situated at 23000, followed by 23060 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 22870, followed by 22800.

Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 49500, followed by 49690, while downside support is found at 49050, followed by 48810.

Fin Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 22060, followed by 22150, while downside support is found at 21870, followed by 21750.

Derivative Market Analysis

  1. Nifty:

The Nifty's option chain analysis shows significant call OI additions at the 23,500 and 23,000 levels, indicating resistance zones, while major put OI additions at the 23,000 level suggest the potential for a corrective bias if the price stays below this mark.

The 23,000 level is critical, with both call and put OI accumulations marking it as a decisive point. The current trading range is 22,500 to 23,000, with a break in either direction likely prompting a strong move.

Additionally, the put-call ratio has dropped to 1, and Nifty experienced a 2.4% fall in open interest alongside a 0.2% price decline, pointing to long unwinding.

  1. Bank Nifty:

The Bank Nifty shows strong support at 48,000 and 49,000 levels, with significant put OI additions at these points. On the upside, the highest call OI addition is at 50,000, with immediate resistance at 49,500.

If the price exceeds and sustains above 49,500, short covering is likely. Option chain analysis indicates put writers are active below 49,000 and call writers above 49,500, suggesting potential consolidation.

The immediate range for Bank Nifty is 49,000 to 49,500, with a break beyond this range potentially triggering a directional move. A 9.1% increase in open interest and a 0.4% price rise suggest short covering.

  1. Fin Nifty:

The option chain analysis for Fin Nifty indicates that significant call option interest at the 22,500 and 22,200 levels will act as resistance. Meanwhile, active put writing below the 22,000 level suggests multiple support areas.

Consequently, Fin Nifty is expected to consolidate within the 22,200 to 22,000 range.
