TRADE SETUP FOR JAN 13
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index has formed a bearish candle with a lower high and lower low signaling continuation of the downtrend. Index in the process closed below the last three weeks' broader range (23,500-24,200)
Volatility is anticipated to remain elevated in the coming weeks as the Q3FY25 earnings season kicks off. The potential policy shifts under the Trump administration, along with the Union Budget, are expected to add to the uncertainty. Investors should exercise caution and brace for potential market fluctuations.
Bias remains down and we expect the index to test November 2024 low (23,263). A follow-through weakness and close below the November low will signal an extension of the decline towards 23,000-22,800. Only a move above 23,800 will signal a pause in the current downtrend.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 23,430 followed by 23,530 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 23,220, followed by 23,110.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 48,750, followed by 49,000, while downside support is found at 48,250, followed by 47,900.

Additionally, the highest Put Open Interest (OI) shifted downward from 22,500 to 22,000, while aggressive Call writing was noted up to the 23,500 level.
