Nifty Bank Outlook - (36197)
On Friday, the banking index began the session on a muted note but
witnessed sharp uptick to reclaim 36800 in the initial fifteen minute of
trade. However, this just turned out to be a formality as index
attracted fresh selling at higher levels. The sell-off aggravated in the
midst to slowly drag the BankNifty below 36100 and post some
consolidation in the final hour concluded the day tad below 36200
with the cut of 0.85%.
We observed strong selling as the Banking index as it entered the
vicinity of 36800 and we had been mentioning lately that it’s very
important to show upmove beyond 36800-37000 to gain further
strength. Considering Friday’s price action, we maintain our cautious
stance on market and hence would advocate exiting longs and adding
shorts in any pullback moves. On the flip side, immediate support is
seen in the range 35900 – 35800 levels.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 35900 Resistance 1 – 36500
Support 2 – 35800 Resistance 2 – 36800

Sensex (57696) / Nifty (17197)
On Friday, Nifty started on a strong positive note and almost retested
17500 during the early trades. But bears were not willing to give up as
they once again showed their dominance at higher levels to erase major
portion of weekly gains by ending tad below 17200.
Overall during the last week our market managed to close in the
positive terrain; but it was certainly a challenging week for both
counterparties. Market was clearly unsure of its direction for the most
part of the week. If we look at it from a technical point of view, market
is respecting the levels precisely. At the beginning, the Nifty started
rebounding after reaching the price target of ‘Head and Shoulder’
pattern of 16800 and on Friday, it became nervous after nearing a stiff
resistance zone of 17500 – 17600. Direction wise, we continue to
remain cautious and there is no doubt we are still in a ‘Sell on rise’ kind
of market. This view will remain intact as long as Nifty does not surpass
17900 which is the confluence point of two key trend lines. Also sooner
or later we expect the recent low around 16800 is to be breached soon;
but it will happen immediately or after some more consolidation in the
range of 16800 – 17500; we need to assess the situation in the coming
week.
Meanwhile, traders can continue with a st
ock specific approach and
we may see trades on both sides if Nifty remains in a consolidation
mode. But it would be a prudent strategy to keep booking timely
profits and considering the volatile nature of global markets,
carrying aggressive bets overnight should be strictly avoided. As far
as levels are concerned, 17350 – 17500 – 17600 are to be
considered as immediate hurdles; whereas on the flipside, 17000 –
16800 should be treated as a cluster of support.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 17000 Resistance 1 – 17350
Support 2 – 16800 Resistance 2 – 17500
