Nifty Bank Outlook (40784)
The banking space has seen strong traction throughout the week,
especially on Friday; courtesy to gigantic leap in Axis bank post its
stellar quarterly numbers. In this course of action, BANKNIFTY has
outperformed the benchmark index and procured 3.76 percent of
gains on a weekly basis. The weekly closure above 40600 construes
a positive development ahead of the truncated Diwali week.
On the technical aspect, the index is firmly placed above all the
major exponential moving averages on the daily chart, signifying
inherent bullishness. Also, on the weekly time frame, the index has
closed at the highest level ever, adding to a buoyant sentiment. As
far as levels are concerned, 40000 – 39800 is expected to act as the
sacrosanct support zone for the index. On the flip side, the index is
all set to re-claim the lifetime high zone in the comparable period.
We remain to have a sanguine view in the banking space, where
any dip towards the mentioned support could be utilized to add
long bets.
Support 1 – 40600 Resistance 1 – 41500
Support 2 – 40350 Resistance 2 – 41670
Sensex (59307) / Nifty (17576)
Last week, our markets started on a sluggish note as global markets
once again looked a bit tentative over the previous weekend.
However, market participants at our end pounced on to this
opportunity as we witnessed a V-shaped recovery to reclaim the
17300 mark. Adding to this, the sentiments on global front
improved drastically as the week progressed which provided the
much-needed impetus for our domestic markets. As a result, we
kept marching higher in latter half to eventually conclude the pre-
Diwali week convincingly above 17500 by adding over a couple of
percent gains to the bulls’ kitty.
Most of our recent hope or anticipation has turned into a reality and
in the process, rock solid support zone around 17000 – 16800 has
certainly proved its significance. The bulls were determined to
defend this last week and with slight improvement in global peers,
fueled the rally in our market to regain some strength. From a
technical standpoint, Nifty is now placed in a safer territory and
from hereon, the immediate support is visible in the vicinity of
17400 – 17350. Since the undertone is strongly bullish, one should
continue with an optimistic bias and should continue using
intermediate declines to add bullish bets. On the higher side, Nifty
has reached to our immediate targets of 17500 – 17600; but now,
we can safely extend these projections towards 17800 and even
retesting of 18000 cannot be ruled out. For this to happen, we do
not require flamboyant moves from global bourses, rather their
stability is the need of the hour and hence, no negative news would
be considered as good news only.
Sectorally, the banking outshined by a fair margin last week,
especially on Friday after the stellar Quarterly numbers from
private banking giant, Axis Bank. This heavyweight space is likely
to be the major charioteer and once other heavyweight too starts
chipping in, markets are good to go towards the 18000 mark. As
far as the broader market is concerned, it remained quite last
week; but if we see global uncertainty completely disappearing,
the midcaps will have a strong comeback soon.
Support 1 – 17540 Resistance 1 – 17810
Support 2 – 17500 Resistance 2 – 17880
