India Market Outlook

  1. Market in Previous Session:

    • Benchmark Indices extended gains for the fourth session in a row amid strong global cues. Investor sentiment remained buoyed by reports of a streamlined Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure, expected to boost spending and fuel consumption. Nifty started the session on a flat note.

TRADE SETUP FOR AUG 20

  1. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • The index formed a bullish candlestick pattern that remained enclosed inside the previous session price range signaling consolidation with positive bias while holding above the 20- & and 50-day EMA.

    • Going ahead, index sustaining above Monday’s gap area ( 24631-24852) will keep the bias positive and a move above Monday's high (25,022) will gradually open upside towards 25,250 levels in the coming sessions. Faliure to do so will lead to consolidation in the range of 24,600-25,000.

    • Immediate support for Nifty is placed at 24,600-24,500 levels, while key support is placed around 24,000–24,200 range marked by the confluence of the 200-days EMA and an ascending trendline drawn from the February and March 2025 swing highs, making it a key demand zone for the near term.

  2. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,030, followed by 25,150 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,850, followed by 24,780.

    • Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 56,080, followed by 56,300, while downside support is found at 55,530, followed by 55,300.

Derivative Market Analysis

  1. Nifty:

    • Aggressive put writing has been observed at 25,000 and 24,900 strikes, highlighting 24,900 as a crucial support zone. On the other hand, major call writing remains concentrated at 25,000, and a decisive move above this level could trigger short covering.

    • Put writers remain active while call writers are seen unwinding and shifting to higher levels, indicating cautious optimism for the upside. If the index sustains above 25,000, it may extend its move towards 25,300 and 25,500 levels. Failure to hold could lead to consolidation within the 24,900–25,100 range. The Nifty put-call ratio has risen by 0.14 to 1.14, supporting the positive bias.

  2. Bank Nifty:

    • Strong put writing has been noted across strikes from 55,500 to 56,000, suggesting multiple support zones and reinforcing a positive bias. On the other hand, call writers have largely unwound positions with limited participation, further indicating an upward tilt.

    • Aggressive put writing confirms immediate support at 55,500, while resistance is placed at 56,000. A breakout above 56,000 could trigger short covering, opening the way for further gains. The Bank Nifty put-call ratio has also improved significantly, rising from 0.05 to 0.82, strengthening the bullish undertone.

    • U.S. stocks closed mostly lower on Tuesday ahead of the upcoming Jackson Hole Symposium later this week, with tech stocks feeling the brunt of the pain.
