TRADE SETUP FOR JAN 22
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Index has formed a bearish engulfing candle that engulfed the last five sessions' price action, signaling strong selling pressure at around last week high (23400). Index witnessed extreme volatility during yesterday session.
Nifty is currently placed around the lower band of the last six session range of 23,000-23,400. A follow-through weakness below Tuesday low (22,976) will open further downside towards 22,800-22,600 levels, being the measuring implication of the last six sessions range.
As mentioned in the earlier edition, the index is experiencing a shallow retracement of the prior decline, reflecting the corrective nature of the pullback and extension of the decline in the coming sessions. The key resistance level is placed at 23,400-23,600, being confluence last week high, 200 days EMA, and previous breakdown area.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 23,130 followed by 23,250 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 22,910, followed by 22,800.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 48,930, followed by 49,200, while downside support is found at 48,310, followed by 48,000.
Derivative Market Analysis
Nifty:
Significant call writing was observed across strikes in the Nifty 23rd January weekly expiry during yesterday’s trading session. The 23,000 level, which shows substantial put open interest, also experienced call writing and put unwinding, indicating a bearish sentiment developing in the weekly option chain.
In the monthly Nifty option chain, the highest put open interest is concentrated at the 23,000 level, where call writing and put unwinding were seen yesterday. This suggests that both weekly and monthly option writers expect Nifty to breach the 23,000 mark.
Additionally, Nifty Futures cumulative open interest surged by 6.4% yesterday, signaling continued addition of short positions. The COI has now reached levels last seen on 6th March 2020, just before the sharp market sell-off that drove Nifty down to 7,500. Since the COVID-19 market crash, this marks the first instance of such massive open interest in Nifty Futures. The current price action strongly suggests that foreign institutional investors (FIIs) are the primary creators of these short positions.
If Nifty breaches the 23,000 level, a sharp sell-off in Nifty Futures is highly probable.
Bank Nifty:
In yesterday’s trading session, aggressive call writing was observed up to the 48,500 level in Bank Nifty. Meanwhile, put writers have started unwinding their positions down to the 47,500 level, signaling strong bearish sentiment, in alignment with Nifty's outlook.
Bank Nifty Futures open interest surged by 7.5% yesterday, indicating fresh short positions being added. The current OI has reached its highest level since October 2024.
If Bank Nifty sustains below yesterday’s low of 48,430, the next downside target is 47,900. A break below 47,900 could set up a positional target of 46,500.
