India Market Outlook

  1. Market in the Previous Session:

    • Indian equity benchmarks ended the session on a strong note on January 22, snapping a three-day losing streak, with the Nifty consolidating near the 25,300 mark amid volatility driven by the weekly Sensex expiry.

    • Markets staged a rebound after concerns eased following reassuring comments by President Trump at the Davos meet on Greenland and trade tariffs. However, sentiment remained guarded due to persistent weakness in the rupee and ongoing foreign institutional investor outflows.

    • At the close, the Sensex gained 397.74 points, or 0.49%, to settle at 82,307.37, while the Nifty rose 132.40 points, or 0.53%, to end at 25,289.90.

TRADE SETUP FOR JAN 23

  1. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • Nifty formed a second consecutive high-wave candlestick pattern featuring a small real body and long upper/lower shadows. This reflects continuation of the intraday volatility as the index traded around the 200 days EMA. 

    • Buying demand during the week emerged near the key support zone of 25,000–24,800. This area aligns with the prior breakout level and the lower band of the rising channel on the weekly time frame.

    • Following a sharp 1,400-point decline over just 12 sessions, the index has entered an extreme oversold territory on the daily chart, which has resulted in a pullback in the last two sessions. We expect the current pullback to extend towards the 25,500 levels.

    • We expect Nifty to consolidate in the range of 25,500–24,800 range. Only a move above 25500 will open further upside towards the major breakdown area of 25,700.

  2. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,390, followed by 25,470 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,170, followed by 25,050.

    • Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 59,410, followed by 59,680, while downside support is found at 58,980, followed by 58,740.

Derivative Market Analysis

  1. Nifty:

    • Highest Call OI remains concentrated at the 26,000 strike, indicating a strong overhead supply zone.

    • Fresh call writing at 25,400 marks it as an immediate resistance level.

    • On the downside, active put writing at 25,200 and 25,300 provides a crucial support base.

    • Sustained move above 25,400 could trigger an upside extension towards 25,500.

    • Breakdown below 25,200 may lead to accelerated downside towards the 25,000 mark.

    • The option chain shows partial unwinding by call writers and increased put writing, reflecting improving near-term conviction, though confirmation is still awaited.

  2. Bank Nifty:

    • Strong put writing at 59,000 establishes it as a key support zone for Bank Nifty.

    • Put writer participation remains active, while limited call OI addition suggests more upside momentum possible. 

    • Immediate resistance is placed at 59,300–59,400; a decisive breakout above this zone could lead to a move towards 60,000, where fresh resistance is observed.

    • As long as 59,000 support holds, the overall bias remains positive, with scope for short covering on breakouts.

    • A sustained breach below 59,000 would negate the positive outlook and could result in a corrective move towards 58,500.

  1. Performance Overview:

    • The S&P 500 rose strongly Thursday, as easing geopolitical tensions and data pointing to underlying economic growth supported a second day of sizeable gains on Wall Street.

  2. Sector-specific indicator: 

    • Gains in tech boosted Wall Street, with the S&P 500 rising nearly 0.6% to 6,913.35 points. The NASDAQ Composite rose 0.9% to 23,436.02 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.6% to 49,394.01 points.

    • The weekly initial jobless claims release showed that the number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits increased less than expected last week, suggesting the labor market maintained a steady pace of job growth in January.
