Nifty Outlook and Strategy

Rajesh Palviya, Senior Vice President Research (Head Technical Derivatives) at Axis Securities

On the weekly chart, the Nifty 50 formed a long bullish candle with a higher high-low compared to the previous week, closing above last week's high and indicating a positive trend. The chart pattern suggests that if Nifty crosses and maintains above the 24,500 level, it could attract buying interest, pushing the index towards 24,600-24,800 levels. However, if the index falls below the 24,150 level, it could lead to selling pressure, taking the index towards 24,000-23,900. For the week, we anticipate Nifty to trade in the range of 24,800-23,900 with a positive bias. The weekly strength indicator RSI (Relative Strength Index) is trending upwards and quoting above its reference line, indicating a positive bias.

Key Resistance: 24,400, 24,550

Key Support: 24,200, 24,000

Strategy: Buy Nifty near 24,200, with a stop-loss of 24,100 and a target of 24,450-24,550 zone.

Despite the Nifty remaining technically stretched, there are no indications of the vertical rally losing steam. It is crucial to approach this scenario with caution and avoid being swayed by the prevailing trend. As far as levels are concerned, 24,200 is likely to provide a cushion for any short-term blips, followed by robust support at the 24,000 mark for the upcoming week. On the higher end, we anticipate 24,400-24,500 to provide resilience for the index in the comparable period.

On the options front, the highest open interest concentration is at the 24,000 strike Put, while scattered piling among Call writers was seen from 24,500 to 24,700 strikes on an immediate basis.

Key Resistance: 24,400, 24,500

Key Support: 24,200, 24,000

Strategy: Sell on the rise of 24,450-24,500 and book profit near the 24,200-24,100, with a stop-loss at 24,560.

The underlying trend of Nifty remains intact. A reasonable bullish candle has been formed on the daily chart after opening lower, with minor upper and lower shadows. Technically, this market action signals the formation of a bullish counterattack-type candle pattern, indicating a possible comeback of bulls after a small dip.

Previously, a similar type of formation on June 24 resulted in a sustainable upmove for the subsequent week. This is a positive indication. The underlying trend of Nifty continues to be positive. There is a possibility of an upside breakout hurdle around 24,400-24,500 levels in the next few sessions. Immediate support is at 24,170 levels.

Key Resistance: 24,450, 24,900

Key Support: 24,100, 23,750

Strategy: Buy Nifty near 24,300, with a stop-loss of 24,100 and a target of 24,900.

Bank Nifty - Outlook and Positioning

Rajesh Palviya, Senior Vice President Research (Head Technical Derivatives) at Axis Securities

Bank Nifty had a stable start to the week and experienced significant fluctuations throughout. On the weekly chart, the index formed a small bullish candle with shadows on both sides, reflecting uncertainty among traders about the market's direction.

Chart analysis suggests that if Bank Nifty surpasses and maintains levels above 52,800, it would likely prompt buying, potentially propelling the index towards 53,000-53,300. Conversely, a drop below the 52,500 level could trigger selling pressure, potentially driving the index towards 52,300-52,000. For the upcoming week, we anticipate Bank Nifty to trade in the range of 53,300-52,000 with a mixed bias. The weekly strength indicator RSI shows a positive bias as it is above its reference lines.

Key Resistance: 52,850, 53,100

Key Support: 52,350, 52,000

Strategy: Buy Bank Nifty near 52,350, with a stop-loss of 52,100 and a target of 52,700-52,850.

Bank Nifty lacked conviction and momentum on the upside. This underscores the stiffness and hesitation of the index at elevated levels. Going forward, given the robust rally in the past few weeks and the presence of key technical indicators in the overbought zone, a sustained consolidation in the upcoming few sessions is possible. Additionally, the upcoming earnings season, with key banking heavyweight results scheduled in the coming days, is likely to dictate the future course of the index.

On the options front, the highest open interest concentration is at 52,500, 52,000 strikes Put, suggesting a strong support base.

Key Resistance: 53,400, 53,500

Key Support: 52,200, 52,000

Strategy: Sell on the rise of 53,200-53,300 and book profit near 52,200, with a stop-loss of 53,600.

Bank Nifty continued with upside momentum for this week. Though it reacted down from the hurdle of 53,200 levels this week, there is a possibility of an upside bounce in the near term. The bullish chart pattern of higher tops and bottoms is intact. Immediate support is at 52,000-51,900 levels.

Key Resistance: 53,200, 54,600
