TRADE SETUP FOR JAN 24
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Index experienced a pullback for the second consecutive session on Thursday. In the process, it formed a bull candle with a higher high and higher low signalling a rebound from the oversold territory.
Buying demand is seen emerging from near the lower band of the last eight sessions range 23,000-23,400. Holding above the lower band of the range will lead to a pullback towards the last two weeks identical highs placed around 23,400 levels.
In case of weakness and close below the lower band of the range (23,000) will signal an extension of decline towards 22,800-22,600 levels being the measuring implication of the last seven sessions range.
The key resistance level is placed at 23,400-23,600, being confluence of last week high, 200 days EMA, and previous breakdown area.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 23,330 followed by 23,450 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 23,080, followed by 22,970.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 48,900, followed by 49,230, while downside support is found at 48,270, followed by 47,900.
Derivative Market Analysis
Nifty:
Nifty's monthly open interest (OI) suggests the participation of put writers at 23,000, followed by 23,200, indicating strong support levels. A breach below these levels may trigger further downside.
Call writers are active above 23,600, with the highest call OI noted at 24,000, which will act as a resistance zone. To negate this current bias, the index must witness a close above the 24,000 level for short covering to occur.
According to the option chain, Nifty is likely to witness a pullback session as call writers are shifting to higher levels.
Nifty's put-call ratio has slightly improved by 0.07 and is now positioned at 0.95.
Bank Nifty:
The highest call OI addition has been noted at the 49,500 level, while immediate call OI is seen at 49,000, which will act as immediate resistance.
On the other hand, major put OI addition has been positioned at 47,500, which will act as support. Additionally, immediate put writers are active at the 48,000 level, further strengthening the support zone.
In futures positions, a fall in price coupled with a rise in OI indicates a short buildup. This suggests that a breach below the support zone may trigger further correction. To negate this trend, Bank Nifty must trade above 49,500 for short covering to emerge.
Bank Nifty's put-call ratio remains unchanged and is positioned at 0.57.
US Share Market News
Performance Overview:
The S&P 500 closed at record highs Thursday as investors digested more corporate earnings and President Donald Trump's address at Davos in which he said he would demand interest rates be lowered.
