Nifty Bank Outlook - (37976)
The truncated week began on a cheerful note and then the banking
index touched 39100 plus levels in the early morning trade. After
posting these highs index attracted fresh selling pressure which got
extended in next three sessions without any look back to first breach
38300-38400 on Tuesday and then test 37700-37800 on Thursday.
Finally, due to some respite in the latter half on the weekly expiry day,
we concluded the week tad below 38000.
As mentioned in our recent commentaries, we were not very
optimistic especially on this space and as expected it remained one of
the major culprit to drag the benchmark index towards 17700. During
this chores of action, we saw the banking index achieving the first
target of 37700 and any further damaged below 37400-37500 shall not
be a very good indication for bulls. Thus, all eyes on this space for the
coming monthly expiry week; one should keep a close tad on the
above mentioned levels. On the higher side, 38200-38400 shall be
looked as immediate supply zone.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 37500 Resistance 1 – 38200
Support 2 – 37400 Resistance 2 – 38400

Sensex (59575) / Nifty (17765)
During the last week, Nifty did correct by nearly a couple of percent;
which certainly cannot be considered as a major damage. Also it did
close above the key support on a weekly basis but the way overall
things are positioned, we will not be surprised to see it surrendering
(17700) in the first half of this week itself. Since last few days, we have
been mentioning the ‘Head and Shoulder’ pattern on the daily chart of
Nifty which was in process. After Thursday’s close, the final (right)
shoulder of this pattern is completed and prices are placed exactly at
the ‘Neckline’ point of the same. A sustainable move below 17700
(which seems likely) would activate the pattern and as a result of this,
we could see a fresh leg of correction in coming days. After this, next
levels to watch out for would be 17450 and 17200, where one needs to
reassess the situation. On the flipside, if Nifty manages to hold 17700
and move higher first, then 18000 – 18200 are to be considered as
strong hurdles, which as of now we do not expect to get surpassed in
the near future. The major culprit during the last week’s correction was
the continuous weakness in banking and metal counters. Although
banking index is nearing its strong support zone, we do not expect any
major bounce back in this space.
Key Levels
Support 1 – 17700 Resistance 1 – 17880
Support 2 – 17450 Resistance 2 – 18030

Apart from this, the broader market looked a bit tentative on
Thursday and the way it’s closed; things do not augur well for the
bulls. To summarize, we advise traders to remain light which we
have been advocating of late and even if one wants to accumulate
stocks with a broader perspective, one needs to be a bit patient as
we expect some reasonable prices to come in next few days.
