Market in Previous Session:
Benchmark indices continued their downward trajectory for the second consecutive session, closing at their lowest levels in over a month on 25th July. The Nifty logged its fourth consecutive weekly decline, highlighting persistent distribution and broad-based sectoral weakness. The latest market pullback underscores growing investor concerns over disappointing earnings and muted management outlooks. This has been further aggravated by ongoing FII selling, adding to the overall bearish sentiment.
The Sensex dropped 720 points to close at 81,463, while the Nifty slipped 1% to finish at 24,837.
On the sectoral front, Nifty Pharma and Healthcare were the only gainers, while the rest of the sectors faced broad-based selling pressure. Media led the decline, followed by Oil & Gas. The broader markets also bore the brunt of the sell-off, with the Nifty Midcap index falling 1.61% and the Small-cap index slipping 2.10%, reflecting widespread profit booking across the board.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
On the daily timeframe, Nifty has formed a sizable bearish candle featuring a lower high and lower low, reinforcing the weakness seen in the previous session’s bearish engulfing pattern. The index also closed below the 50-day EMA, indicating a shift towards a corrective bias.
In Friday’s session, the index broke decisively below the crucial support zone of 25,000–24,900, signaling corrective bias. As long as Nifty remains below the 25,000 mark, the bearish sentiment is expected to continue, opening the possibility for a further decline towards the 24,600 and 24,400 levels in the coming sessions.
Immediate support is seen in the 24,500–24,400 zone, which coincides with last month’s low, the 20-week EMA, and a key Fibonacci retracement of the recent up move from 23,935 to 25,669.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,920, followed by 25,000 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,740, followed by 24,650.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 56,770, followed by 57,000, while downside support is found at 56,250, followed by 56,000.
Nifty:
The highest Call OI has shifted from the 26,000 to the 25,000 level, which indicates immediate resistance for the index.
On the other hand, major Put writers are noted at the 24,000 level, while immediate writers are seen at 24,500, which will act as support.
Friday’s session saw strong participation from Call writers, whereas Put writers were not much active, indicating weakness in support.
Participation of Put writers is active at the 24,700 level, indicating a deciding range between the 24,700 and 25,000 levels.
The Nifty Put-Call Ratio declined by 0.20 to stand at 0.70.
Bank Nifty:
Highest Call OI is noted at the 57,000 strike, indicating resistance. On the other hand, substantial Put OI at the 56,000 level suggests strong support.
In Friday’s session, Call writer dominance was clearly visible, and Put writers unwound their positions, indicating caution for the down move.
Across the strike range from 56,500 to 57,000, Call writer dominance suggests limited upside, with sharp covering likely only above the 57,000 level.
According to the option chain, the immediate range for Bank Nifty is between the 56,000 and 57,000 levels. A breakout on either side will trigger a directional move.
The Bank Nifty Put-Call Ratio declined by 0.15 and now stands at 0.75.
