India Market Outlook
Market in Previous Session:
Indian benchmark indices experienced a volatile session on May 14th, struggling to sustain initial momentum and ultimately settling with marginal gains amid heightened intraday swings. Encouraged by supportive global cues, the market opened on a firm note, with the Nifty surging past the key 24,750 level in early trade. However, mid-session profit-taking led to a sharp retracement, dragging the index below the 24,550 mark before it found footing and closed the session with marginal gains.
By the end of trade, the Sensex added 182.34 points or 0.22% to settle at 81,330.56, while the Nifty advanced 88.55 points or 0.36% to close at 24,666.90.
Across the sectoral space, barring the banking pack, all major indices closed in the green. Realty, oil & gas, telecom, media, IT, and metal sectors led the gains, registering strong advances in the range of 1% to 2.5%.
The broader market outshone the frontline indices, with the BSE Midcap index gaining 1%, while the Small-cap index outperformed further with a robust advance of 1.6%.
TRADE SETUP FOR MAY 15
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Index formed a small bull candle which mostly remained enclosed inside previous session price range signaling consolidation after Monday’s strong up move.
Index after breaking out of a 12-session consolidation range (24,589-23,848), is currently retesting the breakout zone around 24,400-24,600. Sustaining above this level would maintain the positive bias.
We expect the index to hold above the same and extend its uptrend toward 25,200-25,300, aligning with the measuring implication of the recent range breakout and 78.6% retracement of the entire decline (26,277-21,744).
Key short-term support lies in the Monday gap-up zone (24,200-24,000), which coincides with a significant retracement level.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,770 followed by 24,850 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,570, followed by 24,450.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 55,070, followed by 55,350, while downside support is found at 54,550, followed by 54,290.
Derivative Market Analysis
Nifty:
The highest Call OI is noted at the 25,000 level, which will serve as resistance for the expiry. A move above this level could trigger short covering.
Across strikes below the 24,600 level, Put writers are active, indicating multiple support levels for the index.
The option chain suggests participation from both Put and Call writers, indicating a likely consolidation between the 24,500 and 25,000 levels.
The max pain level for the weekly expiry is at the 24,600 level.
The Nifty Put-Call Ratio (PCR) increased by 0.04 and is now positioned at 0.89.
Bank Nifty:
An accumulation of both Call and Put OI is observed at the 55,000 level, suggesting a straddle formation and marking it as the key deciding level for the day.
Interestingly, major Put writers are active at the in-the-money strike of 55,000, indicating confidence in a positive bias. However, a sustained move below this level may increase pressure, pushing the index toward the 54,000 mark.
Immediate major Call OI is noted at the 55,500 level, indicating a resistance zone.
The option chain indicates a broader range for Bank Nifty between 54,000 and 55,500. A range break on either side may trigger a directional move.
The Bank Nifty Put-Call Ratio (PCR) declined by 0.01 and is now positioned at 0.82.
