DAILY CHART FOR NIFTY

We started the week on a nervous note as indicated by the SGX Nifty. The selloff aggravated mainly in the financial space which resulted in re-testing of sub-16850 levels. Fortunately the initial nerves settled down after half an hour of knee jerk reaction. This was followed by a sustained buying throughout the remaining part of the session to conclude with nearly half a percent gains by reclaiming the 17000 mark with some authority. Monday’s spectacular recovery was followed by a decent bump at the opening on Tuesday, citing to positive mood across the globe. The index extended its early lead a bit to surpass the 17200 mark and then slipped into a consolidation mode. All of a sudden at the stroke of the penultimate hour, market came off sharply on the back of some profit booking. Fortunately this tiny dip got bought into as Nifty went on to conclude the session around day’s high by reclaiming 17200. We had a muted start to Wednesday’s session in the absence of any major trigger on the global as well as domestic front. In the initial hour, we did move towards 17300 but this attempt eventually failed as we witnessed some profit booking at higher levels. Although, market saw a small dip towards the end, the Nifty managed to defend the 17200 mark on a closing basis. The expiry session started on a soft note and tested intraday support of 17150 in the opening trade itself. This small down tick was merely a formality as we saw Nifty recovering immediately to erase losses. During the remaining part of the session, index remained in a slender range with no clear direction. Indian shares were set on Friday for their best year since 2017, driven by an economic recovery from the pandemic-fueled slump and massive liquidity, even as a raging new COVID-19 variant and valuation concerns kept investors cautious towards the year-end. Global equities are closing out a strong year, driven by a U.S. surge while Asia lagged partly because of weakness in China on regulatory curbs and a slowing economy. Bond investors are nursing losses as many central banks move toward tighter monetary settings to fight inflation. How the coronavirus and those policy shifts shape economic reopening are key for the outlook. Sensex rose 459 points to close the year at 58253, while Nifty was up 150 points at 17354.

NIFTY: A STRONG SUPPORT WILL BE @ 16500; STRONG RESISTANCE LEVEL SEEN @ 17500

2021 has been a year of recovery, rehabilitation, and establishing a base for future growth. 2022 will be a little more volatile but will still be very good for equity investors in India. 2022 is very likely to be another year of good double-digit returns and continued wealth creation. Autos, Banks, and Capital goods, literally the A B C of equity markets, will be the most interesting sectors for 2022. On the technical front, overall structure looks positive for Nifty as it manages to sustain well above 17200 level on a closing basis for the last few sessions which is a positive sign for the index technically and we believe we can witness 17500 levels in near term. 17200 and 17500 are immediate support and resistance in Nifty. For Bank Nifty, 35000 and 36000 are immediate support and resistance.
