Asian Markets

  • Asia-Pacific markets fell on Monday ahead of inflation data from Australia and Japan later this week.

India Market Outlook

1. GIFT Nifty Projection:

  • Gift Nifty indicates a flat to negative opening for the Indian market.
  • We expect the Nifty spot to continue its recent consolidation, trading in the range of 23,400-23,700.

2. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

  • The index has formed a high wave candle with a higher high and higher low, indicating consolidation at the all-time high for the second consecutive week. 
  • The weekly stochastic has reached the overbought territory with a reading of 96, suggesting possible profit booking at higher levels.
  • It is expected that the index will consolidate within the 23800-23300 range.
  • A breach below 23300 could lead to further downside towards the key support area of 22800.
  • This consolidation is seen as an opportunity for incremental buying, as strong support exists between 23000-22800 levels.

3. Intraday Levels:

  • Nifty: Intraday resistance is situated at 23,680, followed by 23,800 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 23420, followed by 23,300

Derivative Market Analysis

1. Nifty::

  • For the next weekly expiry, the highest call option writing is seen at the 24000 level, and the highest put option writing is at the 23000 level.
  • The straddle at 23500 remains a critical level for Nifty.
  • Nifty futures are trading at 23487.30, indicating that a move above 23500 could trigger short covering towards 24000.

2. Bank Nifty:

  • For the upcoming weekly expiry, the highest call option writing is observed at the 52000 level, while the highest put option writing is at the 51000 level.
