Nifty formed a double top pattern in hourly charts and 10880 will now act as a strong support which, if breached, can lead to a further correction in the index.
On 15 minute charts, Nifty gave a failed breakout out of the 11100-11300 range and also the upward channel.
Market - Driving Factors:
All sectoral indices ended in the green today with Nifty Pharma leading the pack after it ended 5.37% in the green. The new US FDA directory which urges Americans to use locally manufactured medicines might not have a big impact on Indian Pharma companies.
Prestige Estates rose over 8% today on news that blackstone will acquire the commercial real estate assets of the company.
Yes Bank once again hit the upper circuit and ended 5% up. One would've made an 18% return in 2 weeks if they has subscribed to the Yes Bank FPO and held the shares till today.
Nifty - Outlook for Tuesday, 11th August:
Titan just announced its Q1 earnings and the company posted a loss of 270 crore rupees which was worse than what analysts had expected. This might weigh on the stock tomorrow.
ADX shows no strength of momentum on either side indicating that markets might consolidate for a while before giving a breakout in either direction. So one should avoid large directional bets on weekly options which expire this Thursday.
