FinNifty Weekly Analysis We have fallen 2.31% ~ 464pts between the last expiry and today. This is definitely a good start for the bears. Unlike Nifty, Finnifty has managed to form a lower low on the 1hr TF. The first major support comes at 19421. FinNifty Today Analysis Due to HDFCBK’s weightage on Finnifty, we closed a 0.1% lower than banknifty today i.e at...
Banknifty also made a decent recovery after the 482pts ~ 1.09% fall in the opening 20mts. It retraced 433pts by 15.00. And then fell a little to close out with only 0.2% losses @ 44090. Even though the recovery was good, it was not as dramatic as Nifty50. And we are back at an important support/resistance level of 44068. So bank nifty has retested its old SR...
After the trades on Friday, I modified my stance to 100% bearish. What other boon could I ask for when we had the opening 5mts better than expected? “The first target to take out will be the recent swing low of 19296. The next support comes at 19190.’ As soon as 19300 was taken out in the 2nd candle, my conviction for a bear rally was growing. But that did not...
Banks were just continuing the trend from yesterday. The first candle saw a swing of 247pts ~ 0.56%. From there they were holding it steady till 12.40. Something interesting happened at the 13.00 candle which was a strong green of 128pts. HDFCBK, ICICI, SBIN, AXIS all were shooting up. What happened right after that was a super spike in RELIANCE (up 1.38%...
The first 5mts candle today had a swing range of 0.34% ~ 66pts but this did not drive up the OTM premiums. The majority of traders have forgotten what fear was like. India VIX was up 2 to 3% then and still in the 11.5 range. The complacency has gotten into the traders so deep that they think some dip buyers will come in and rally the markets by closing hour. Today...
BankNifty Weekly Analysis Between the last expiry and today, banknifty has fallen 34pts ~ 0.08% (flattish). Compare this to Nifty which rose 0.8%. In our markets banks are the leading indicator, whereas in the US its the non-banks. That is why professionals look up to banknifty in India and Nasdaq in the US as leading indicators of trends. BankNifty Today’s...
Nifty Weekly Analysis Between the last expiry day and today, Nifty has managed to rise 152pts ~ 0.78% which is a good sign for the bulls. This flattish phase was much required after Nifty picked up a direction from 21st July. The technical analysis points to a trend continuation possibility and should be good for the bears! Nifty Today Analysis Today’s move was...
Banknifty had a perfect W like pattern formed in the 5mts TF. Even though the rally from 13.50 to close was inspiring, it was not as fierce as on Nifty50. The fall of 441pts ~ 0.98% steals the limelight today. Now was the 380+ pts reversal from the intraday low to close due to the RBI MPC outcome expectation tomorrow? Some facts to consider. The vegetable,...
Yesterday we went with a 60% Neutral and 40% bearish stance for today. What happened from open till 13.15 - was in perfect harmony & as per the script. But the intraday rally of 177pts ~ 0.91% was totally shocking! I was unprepared, unplanned and must say ran into losses today because of my bias. I should say with 100% honesty - my research failed me today. I had...
The major reason Nifty50 stayed strong without falling much is banknifty. It did show an attempt to break free from the bearish trend, the opening rush of 279pts till 10.40 is proof for that. From there was loss of steam and a pull back of 204pts. Once this inverted V shape was completed - there was lack of direction or momentum. Options data also indicated a...
Nifty made an interesting opening 2 hour price action today. With a good gap up opening and then a strong rejection at 19640 levels to hit an intraday low of 19533 by 11.35. The selling pressure was strong, but the financial sector did not lend support. NiftyIT was falling - but that got arrested and hence the reversal post 11.35. Currently we have a situation...
FinNifty Weekly Analysis Between the last expiry and today, CNXFINANCE has fallen 219pts ~ 1.08%. The majority of the fall came on 02 and 03 Aug after which we have seen a recovery of 1.9% from the lows. FinNifty Today Analysis If you look at today’s 5mts chart, it was a steady upward moving market with a healthy pullback. Even when the index was falling from...
Banknifty had a perfect flat range bound day today. Normally we dont see it that often, but banknifty seems like a tamed beast as of now. You might be bored to hear this from me again that from “January 2023, I think banknifty is less volatile than Nifty50”. A look at the options data is ample proof - the OTM option values today is more like we usually see on a...
On Friday 4th Aug Nifty made a gap up opening and created an island day. We had changed the stance from bearish to neutral. And today nifty managed to build-up momentum on top of what happened on Friday, to me - that’s bullish. After opening gap, nifty managed to stay above the 19530 level quite strongly. At 09.30 nifty made the low of 19524 and then went back to...
Banknifty on the other hand is still in the bearish zone and still continues to provide some hope for the handful of bears that are left. Even though we ended up with 0.82% gains compared to 0.7% of Nifty, banks are still not out of bear hold. The reason is the price action. We had an intraday rally of 601pts ~ 1.35% and then a fall of 525pts ~ 1.17%. Although I...
For 2 consecutive days the bears had a good time and now it is over! Today’s price action and the inability of the sellers to push down the prices indicate the bulls are gaining traction. Most analysts would prefer to watch for 1 to 2 more days before changing the bearish bias - I would prefer to change my bias from bearish to neutral right away. In the recent...
Nifty Weekly Analysis We lost 373pts ~ 1.89% between the last expiry day and today. Usually Nifty ends up compensating the loss by dip-buying. For the first time in many weeks - the dip buying is not that intense and that may open up more cuts in the coming weeks. Our stock market in specific has been in an unchecked rally from April 2023. The fact that US...
From yesterday we were bearish, so the moves in the forenoon session gave us some validation. But it was nothing like Nifty, the cuts in banknifty were not aggressive even though we lost similar points. The options flow was not indicating that deep a fall till afternoon - the premiums on nifty was far superior than banknifty (which has been unusual lately)....
