Overview
Today's trading session on Indian equity indices saw a mixed performance with Bank Nifty showing significant activity and Nifty50 closing on a flat note after an initial rally. Key levels of support and resistance were tested across various indices, influencing market sentiment and investor actions.
Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty opened strong, surpassing the 49,000 resistance level. However, it faced substantial selling pressure in the 49,600-49,800 range, establishing 49,600 as a new resistance level. Notable put writing at the 49,000 strike price signals robust support at this level. The overall sentiment remains bullish, and a buy-on-dip strategy is recommended with a stop loss at 48,900. If Bank Nifty closes above 49,600, it could potentially move towards the 50,000 mark.
Key Levels:
- Support: 49,000
- Resistance: 49,600, 50,000
- Stop Loss: 48,900
Nifty50
Nifty50 began the week at a new high of 23,039, driven primarily by banking sector gains. However, the index faced profit-booking pressure in the last session, leading to a close at 22,932, down by 24 points. A bearish candle formed at record levels suggests a possible retest of the strong support at 22780, with immediate resistance at 23110.
Key Levels:
- Support: 22,780
- Resistance: 23,110
Market Sentiment
The overall market sentiment remains positive, bolstered by better earnings growth, expectations of a revival in private capital expenditure (capex), and a reduction in Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) selling intensity. Upcoming economic data, including India's Q4 GDP and US inflation figures, will likely influence market direction in the near term.
