3. Economic Indications:

  • In economic news, US durable goods orders fell in September, weighed down by sharp declines in defence and civilian aircraft, according to government data.

Asian Markets

  2. Specific Index Performance:

    • Japanese benchmark Nikkei 225 Index surged by 1.8% to surpass 38,500, while the broad-based Topix Index rose 1% to 2,645. This rebound helped recover most of last week's losses, driven by a further weakening of the yen following Japan’s weekend election results.

India Market Outlook

  1. GIFT Nifty Projection:

    • Gift Nifty suggests a flat opening for the Indian markets and is likely to consolidate in the broad range of 23,800-24,400.

  2. Market in Previous Session:

    • The selling pressure escalated on Friday, pushing benchmark indices down by over a per cent. 

    • At close, the Sensex was down 662.87 points or 0.83 percent at 79,402.29, and the Nifty was down 218.60 points or 0.90 percent at 24,180.80.

    • This marked the fifth consecutive session of declines for the benchmarks, pressured by weak earnings, ongoing foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows, and uncertainty related to the US elections, a day after the weekly expiry.

    • Key sectors such as metals, autos, and energy were among the hardest hit, with broader indices also declining by almost 2% each.

  3. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • Nifty has been maintaining a lower high and lower low pattern, indicating a corrective bias. It has broken down below the lower band of the consolidation zone (24,750). We believe this breakdown has important support near 24,000 followed by 23,780 which corresponds to the 50% retracement of the previous swing.

    • The index has near-term resistance at 24,520, followed by 24,750, and it needs to start forming a higher high and higher low pattern to negate this downward bias.

  4. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,410 followed by 24,620 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,080, followed by 23,870.

    • Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 50,940, followed by 51,440, while downside support is found at 50,350, followed by 49,800.

Derivative Market Analysis

  1. Nifty:

    • The highest call OI is positioned at 25000 followed by 24500 level, whereas the highest put OI is positioned at the 23500 level followed by the 24000 level.
