CHART BASED CONCLUSIONS - 15 Minutes Chart
A gap-up open and then a new ATH was flagged and then the usual drifting game started with the mandatory sell-off just after 1300h and then sideways moves that resulted in yet another ATH Close, but well below the ATH as well as daily high by 58 points.
The daily chart indicates that there is a series of Doji-type candles - do they suggest a continuation pattern or exhaustion?
I am not sure about it.

POSITIVES
NIFTY closed at a new ATH and also hit a new ATH.
TATAMOTORS, KOTAK BANK, TCS, and LT have shown strong momentum.
NIFTY was resilient to a great extent as the day low was above 17350 and almost a 100 points above the low of the earlier session.
FIIs have bought in excess of 1400 Crores.
NEGATIVES
RELIANCE, HDFC twins, and INFOSYS ended up dragging the indices from the higher plains.
NIFTY is closing a well 58 points below the ATH.
BANK NIFTY though ended in the green continues to under perform.
TRADING RANGE FOR 15-09-21
17000-17200 is the support base.17400-450-500 may be the resistance area for NIFTY.
BANK NIFTY support stays at 36200-400 and resistance at 37000-37200.
INSIGHT / OBSERVATIONS
They say looks are deceiving. And NIFTY is doing exactly the same. It is in a bull market, has made an ATH close after hitting an ATH high that was 58 points above the closing price.
The first few minutes register a high and then the drifting game starts which at times results in sell-off and if it falls around 17300 or below, it bounces back and ends flat.
I have been writing for over 2 years but I have not seen such situations happening around ATH levels.
The manner in which the prices move of some of the heavyweights gives an indication that what is happening appears to be stage-managed as the candles on the daily charts would confirm so.
When an index or a stock is at ATH, the path of least resistance should be on the upside. However, in the case of NIFTY, it is on the downside and that is what is surprising. INFOSYS, RELIANCE, HDFC BANK are being used to cap the upside in NIFTY for now as these three on their combined strength can lift NIFTY way beyond 17500.
In the end, patience and the ability to read the intent of the market and the scrips is more likely to pay off than anything else.
What do you feel about this?

BANK NIFTY rescues NIFTY for a changeNIFTY 50 EOD ANALYSIS -08-09-21

Likely open: BANK NIFTY holds the key. Based on the numbers looks a flat to a positive open.
CHART BASED CONCLUSIONS
NIFTY played negative today and did not even bother to go past the opening high made and ended the day just below the P Close.
In the process, it has not only done a lower high but also made a lower low by drifting towards 17250 and dangerously close it.
Soon as Europe opened, the sell-off started and lasted for an hour or so, and then, there was the usual jerks-driven relief rally only to end flat.
On the daily charts, it has formed a hammer pattern indicating good bounce from the lower areas.

The above is what mattered in the end. It looks like the rest of the scrips had no role to play or it was too insignificant by EOD.
POSITIVES
NIFTY ended flat and recovered more than 90 points after the sell-off.
BANK NIFTY changed the corner and was the savior for NIFTY.
Even though the private banks have not contributed significantly, their not being negative helped the indices to maintain their levels.
RELIANCE and HDFC recovered well from their respective lows which came in handy in ensuring that NIFTY closes flat.
NEGATIVES
NIFTY could not go anywhere near 17400.
NIFTY breached the recent swing lows and drifted towards 17250.
INFOSYS and TCS have been showing continued weakness.
MARUTI has been falling yet again after a good recovery a couple of sessions ago.
FIIs DIIs remain net sellers.
TRADING RANGE FOR 08-09-21
17000-17200 is the support base.17400-450-500 may be the resistance area for NIFTY.
BANK NIFTY support stays at 36200-400 and resistance at 37000-37200.
INSIGHT / OBSERVATIONS
The price action in INFOSYS appeared to be managed if one looks at the candles for the last 2 hours. There were spikes and sell-off as if 1700 CE writers had a point or two to prove in ending the day below 1700.
MARUTI fell more than 1.5% but it seems to have made no impact on NIFTY which is indeed surprising as, at one stage, the fall was close to 100 points.
The star of the day was KOTAK BANK as it almost single-handedly changed the tide for NIFTY and therefore BANK NIFTY. The strong up move prompted other banks to also chip in. It now needs to be seen if it can hold on to the momentum possibly created by it being included in the LIC IPO proceedings.
Interesting expiry tomorrow - will the God that rings in Auspicious Beginnings help NIFTY close the week at a new ATH? Or will the IT biggies with RELIANCE like to keep dragging NIFTY?
Wait and Watch!

CHART BASED CONCLUSIONS
NIFTY crossed 17400 yet again and made a new high at 17436.
During the day, it remained very volatile on account of BANK NIFTY and even broke 17300 momentarily and then hit a fresh ATH.
However, that was also sold in to and the day ended on a flat note.
During the day, NIFTY took support from 200 MA on the 5-minute chart.
On the daily charts, NIFTY has formed yet another Doji / Spinning top indicating indecisive approach.

NIFTY hit a fresh ATH.
HDFC made a roaring comeback as a leader and closed above 2800 psycho level.
RELIANCE also managed to hold on to the 2400+ levels and closed above the earlier close.
HDFC BANK made a good recovery after the morning shake-out and help prevent a further slide in BANK NIFTY.
NEGATIVES
BANK NIFTY keeps underperforming and is facing the Sell on Rise type of situation.
After a smart recovery by INFOSYS yesterday, it almost reversed all the gains impacting TCS as well.
NIFTY unable to close in green leave aside above 17400 is not a good sign.
FIIs DIIs are both net sellers.
TRADING RANGE FOR WB 07-09-21
17000-17200 is the support base. I do not know what the upper levels may be.

INSIGHT / OBSERVATIONS
Despite HDFC BANK bouncing back 20+ points from the lows, BANK NIFTY ended way below the P Close. This is surprising and possibly indicates how important ICICI BANK and AXIS BANK have become for the index.
Amidst pressure from BANK NIFTY, NIFTY could not hold 17300 levels also and dipped for a while and then recovered smartly.
I am wondering what would happen if US markets were non-existent? Clearly, in the absence of any clues from the big brother, our indices chose to play safe and ended flat to negative.

INSIGHT / OBSERVATIONS
BANK NIFTY trading range was 369 points only which means that the index is getting ready for a big move on either side. It has the tendency to surprise the participants so we will need to wait and watch.
NIFTY ended in the green only because of RELIANCE & INFOSYS. RELIANCE fell sharply from the day’s high of 2480+ to end at 2425.
RELIANCE and BANK NIFTY hold the key for tomorrow.

CHART BASED CONCLUSIONS
A good gap-up opening and then the typical retest of P Close. This is how NIFTY moved in the AM session.
Then, NIFTY retested and crossed the opening high and fell again to retest the P Close and recovered smartly to end the day closer to the ATH.
On a 5 minute chart, NIFTY looks highly volatile as if we are seeing a BANK NIFTY chart.
On the weekly chart, NIFTY shows a strong bullish candle that has not been seen for the last several weeks.

INSIGHT / OBSERVATIONS
The NIFTY rally is now becoming a stock driven rally possibly indicating exhaustion at higher levels and the coming week may see some profit booking.
Today it was RELIANCE and next week it could be INFOSYS and HDFC family.
It is time to turn cautious until BANK NIFTY closes well above 37200 as the index has the potential to drag NIFTY and upset the party.

CHART BASED CONCLUSIONS
NIFTY made a new ATH and closed also at a new ATH which is closer to the ATH level indicating a strong close.
However, NIFTY had almost retested the lows of yesterday in the opening candle itself but they smartly recovered within the first 5 minutes and then never looked back.
The ride to the top was somewhat choppy and not smooth and the biggest move of the day happened in the first 5-minute candle itself. The rest were climbing the proverbial Wall of Worry.
That also justifies the slight jump in the VIX.

There was not much negativity and that is what has propelled NIFTY to scale a new peak.
POSITIVES
Despite INFOSYS not being able to contribute, TCS led from the front and put up a great show of strength. Clearly, it has come a long way.
The FMCG giant HUL too has been keeping pace which is a good sign.
HDFC twins and RELIANCE also ended in the green. RELIANCE crossed 2300 but ended the day just below the line.
FIIs DIIs are both Net Buyers.
NEGATIVES
BANK NIFTY is finding it hard to cross the 37000 lines.
MARUTI as well as TATA MOTORS are under some sort of pressure on account of the semiconductor news. These two need to move up firmly as they have been trading within a range for a while now.
INFOSYS made a deep dive to 1663 and recovered in the late trade but closed a few points below its 20 DMA. On account of its weightage, it is important that it restores 1700+ levels for NIFTY to remain above 17200.
TRADING RANGE FOR 03-09-21
17000-17300 is the range that I can think of for the final day of the week.
BANK NIFTY support stays at 36200-400 and resistance at 37000-37200.
INSIGHT / OBSERVATIONS
The tendency of a scrip to go below its key moving averages and then make an attempt to come back up is a good sign indicating that the selling pressure has been exhausted for now and renewed buying interest has taken place.
This is what seems to be happening in INFOSYS. Tomorrow’s session will decide on whether it reclaims 1700 level or faces some hurdle around the 20 DMA resting at 1690.
What do you feel about this?

CHART BASED CONCLUSIONS
NIFTY made yet another high and a higher low as well.
The higher high could not be sustained due to intense selling pressure from some of the heavyweights which dragged the index below 17100.
The daily charts indicate that there was selling pressure but the volume is not higher than yesterday’s session. This is more of a profit booking drive that has been undertaken by the FIIs who have been consistently buying in the cash market for the last several sessions.

HDFC BANK more or less held its ground.
NEGATIVES
IT heavyweights have been witnessing selling pressure for the last few sessions.
NIFTY failed to close above the P Close.
NIFTY fell close to 17050 and tomorrow is expiry so volatility may be high.
DIIs have begun banking gains which led to selling pressure.
TRADING RANGE FOR 02-09-21
16950-17250 is the range that I can think of for the week.
NIFTY may consolidate between these levels until either is broken on a closing basis.
BANK NIFTY support base moves up to 36200-400 and resistance at 36800-37000-37200.
INSIGHT / OBSERVATIONS
With the change in the lot size of NIFTY from Aug 2021, NIFTY has become more volatile and now with it being above 17000, a 150 point move on either side is also less than 1% move which is what needs to be digested by the traders. It has now started giving the kind of moves that BANK NIFTY used to give.
Around March 2020, BANK NIFTY had reached levels around 16500-17000. Today, NIFTY is at 17000+ and we are around 17 months away from those days. This is the power of the stock market.

And the surge continued today as well and NIFTY finally sailed past 17000 with relative ease and ended comfortably above 17100.
It appeared that it may retest levels below 16900, but then it quickly recovered and then never looked back except for the lunch session quick fall which was bought in ti by the bears.
NIFTY is likely to set its own course as it builds its bases in the newer zones.
The daily charts indicate a strong bullish candle.

The above indicates that a larger base of scrips in the NIFTY family helped it close above 17100.
POSITIVES
NIFTY crossed 17000 and closed above 17100 with ease.
BANK NIFTY finally emerged out of the resistances and soared which helped NIFTY.
Broader market participation resulted in NIFTY scaling higher levels with relative ease.
FIIs are back with a bang in the buying business and clearly, this had a positive impact on NIFTY.
Top 5 NIFTY heavyweights ended the month at their respective ATH which is a great positive.
NEGATIVES
BANK NIFTY kept underperforming and had a very narrow range for the day.
VIX is up 9% as shorters would have been forced to run cover.
RELIANCE as usual chose not to participate in the rally and this alone has the potential to be a spoilsport for NIFTY.
DIIs have sold heavily indicating that from their viewpoint, the short-term top is nearing or has been reached.
TRADING RANGE FOR 01-09-21
At best 17000 base is what I can think of for now. We will need to see how the index moves during the week before deciding on the levels.
BANK NIFTY support base stays at 35400-500 and resistance at 35800-36000-36200.
INSIGHT / OBSERVATIONS
Top 5 heavyweights of NIFTY recorded ATH close on monthly candles.
Like RELIANCE, KOTAK BANK also has the tendency to play its own game. Except that today HDFC BANK also joined it and saved BANK NIFTY from slipping from the lower levels.
BANK NIFTY has formed a Doji candle on the daily chart with good volumes. It is a sign of caution or a positive move ahead. We will need to wait and watch. As long as HDFC BANK stays positive, it will handle BANK NIFTY on the upside.

NIFTY ends the week on a high note at 16705NIFTY 50 EOD ANALYSIS -27-08-21

The above indicates that a larger base of scrips in the NIFTY family helped it pass the ATH level and close also at a new ATH.
POSITIVES
NIFTY ended the day as well as the week at a new ATH and above 16700.
DIIs have bought significantly at ATH which is a big plus indicating that there is good upside potential in-store in the coming weeks/months.
VIX has cooled down.
39/50 scrips ended in the green.
MARUTI which had been falling consistently ended in a minor positive. This could have a sentimental impact on the other sectoral scrips as well.
NEGATIVES
INFOSYS is showing signs of fatigue in the short term.
RELIANCE as well appears to be losing momentum as it approaches the resistance area around 2250.
BANK NIFTY continues to underperform.
TRADING RANGE FOR W/B 30-8-21
The Nifty baseline moves up to 16500-550. The resistances are not known for now.
BANK NIFTY support base also slides to 35000-35200 and resistance at 35800-36000-36200.
INSIGHT / OBSERVATIONS
The new SEBI regulations re no leverage come into force from 01 Sep and this could have an impact on Options pricing as more traders may switch to Options from EQUITY intraday trading as the margin benefit gets reduced.
UPSTOX has delayed intraday EQ profit credit from T+1 days to T+2 days to prevent a potential margin shortfall and resultant penalty. If others also follow suit, this could create more pressure on the intraday EQ-only traders to move to Options.
Even when NIFTY is at a new ATH, several scrips look beaten down and far from their ATH. This could be a double-edged sword for the scrips as well as for NIFTY.
The key to further upside in NIFTY is held by RELIANCE, HDFC twins, and BANK NIFTY, which has been under pressure for a long time.
What do you feel?

Lifter - Draggers = +35
Despite a good +35 points positive on leaders to draggers basis, Nifty could muster a positive of only 10 points. This indicates the selling pressure intensity.
POSITIVES
NIFTY made yet another ATH Close and it also managed to register another ATH above 16700.
RELIANCE ended the day above 2200.
HDFC twins managed to remain more or less stable despite increased volatility.
INFOSYS and TCS bounced back up after yesterday’s negative performance.
NEGATIVES
16700 is a tough hurdle to cross this expiry as Nifty is unable to hold on to the level for long.
Ahead of expiry both FIIs and DIIs have turned net sellers.
BANK NIFTY fell almost 400 points after hitting 35910 which indicates that 36000 is a tough ask for the index to clear.
TRADING RANGE FOR 25-8-21
The Nifty baseline moves up to 16450-500. The resistances are now from 16650 onwards.
BANK NIFTY support base also slides to 35000-35200 and resistance at 35800-36000-36200.
INSIGHT / OBSERVATIONS
TATAMOTORS bounced back from 200 DMA in a good manner though it got sold in to at higher levels.
This may have been caused by MARUTI which continues to be under pressure and every rise is getting sold into. Today it tested 6700 levels. The outlook is not great was the commentary by the leadership so this may have caused the prices to slide.

POSITIVES
Nifty made yet another ATH.
HDFC BANK held on to 1500+ levels despite BANK NIFTY being under severe pressure.
RELIANCE ended in the green even though it was modest. The fact that it did not join the sell-off is a big positive.

As of 1255h on 19-8-21, SGX Nifty is down 290 points!
There is something that has happened globally as well - if the US also trades in the negative, we may see a bloodbath tomorrow and the trend for the short term may change.

Global cues forced Nifty to end below 16300NIFTY 50 EOD ANALYSIS -10-08-21
IN SUMMARY
Open / High / Low / Close
16274.8 / 16359.25 / 16202.25 / 16228.10
Trading Range Low to High: 141 points
Likely Max Realistic Opportunity @ 50%: 70.5 points
India VIX: 12.71 / +0.79%
FII DII activities: +511 Crores
CHART BASED CONCLUSIONS
Nifty made a higher and a higher low.
This higher high was in terms of the ATH level of Nifty which was hit before 1100h.
The not so encouraging European markets forced Nifty to end below 16300.
Once again, Nifty has closed just around the open price and has formed another Doji pattern.
TOP LOSERS CONTRIBUTING TO NIFTY FALL
5 scrips were responsible for dragging Nifty down by at least 105 points. These were:
JSW STEEL
SHREE CEMENT
ITC
BAJAJ FINSERV
TATA STEEL
TOP GAINERS CONTRIBUTING TO NIFTY BEING ABLE TO CLOSE IN GREEN
Together these 5 contributed a gain of 105 points:
HDFC
INFOSYS
RELIANCE
BHARTI AIRTEL
KOTAK BANK
This is a great coincidence! Both the sides contributed 105 points on either side and this explains the Doji!
POSITIVES
Nifty ended above the open price.
FII - DII net numbers are positive.
HDFC BANK closed above 1500 for the second day.
HDFC closed above the hard resistance of 2660.
BANK NIFTY closed yet again above 36000.
NEGATIVES
MARUTI and TATA MOTORS remained under pressure after the morning spike on the way up.
SBIN is still under pressure which is putting both the indices under pressure.
16300 appears to be a tough one even after HDFC twins have recovered from the slumber.
RELIANCE was unable to hold on to 2100+ levels.
TRADING RANGE FOR W/B 11-8-21
Nifty broad range for the week 16000-16500. As of now, it has not made any significant movement from where one could derive the likely supports and resistances.
BANK NIFTY support base at 35200-600 and resistance at 36200-36500.
INSIGHT / OBSERVATIONS
When the price remains around the same number and the buyer's increases, it signals an upward move in the prices. This is what we have learned as one of the basic principles of demand and supply.
If we club the Net FII DII of yesterday and today, it is just +6 Crores and a slightly higher close. This is quite an interesting situation to have and I would seek input from the readers if they have encountered such situations in the past.
It appeared that in the closing minutes, Nifty moves were managed to close it near flat in line with the global cues.
Thank you, and Happy Money Making!
