India Market Outlook
Market in Previous Session:
On May 6th, benchmark indices Nifty and Sensex retreated, halting a two-day upward momentum, as losses were broad-based with 12 of 13 sectoral indices closing lower. The broader market bore the brunt of the sell-off, declining more sharply than the headline indices in the second half of the session.

TRADE SETUP FOR MAY 07
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a bearish candle with a lower high and lower low, indicating profit booking from the key resistance zone of 24,500–24,600.
It is expected to open lower today, with a possible gap-down. Sustained weakness below 24,400 could trigger further downside towards 24,100–24,000 in the coming sessions.
Nifty is likely to stay range-bound within the 24,600–23,800 corridor, in line with its recent eight-session consolidation. Strong support is seen around the 24,000–23,800 zone, reinforced by the alignment of recent swing lows and a previous major breakout level.
Volatility is expected to remain elevated due to ongoing geopolitical tensions, shifting tariff-related developments, and the progression of the Q4 earnings season.

Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,430 followed by 24,550 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,170, followed by 24,050.

Derivative Market Analysis
Nifty:
The Nifty is witnessing a narrowing range with the highest call OI now at 24,500, followed by 24,400—indicating immediate resistance. On the downside, strong put OI at 24,000 and 24,400 highlights key support levels.
FIIs added 4,919 long index futures and created 2,697 fresh shorts, lifting the long-short ratio slightly from 0.94 to 0.97—signaling a cautiously positive stance.
Heavy OI activity between 24,400 and 24,500 marks this zone as a key inflection point. Notably, call writers shifted down from 26,000 to this range, tightening resistance, while put unwinding above 24,500 and additions below 24,400 suggest 24,400 is acting as strong support.
The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) stands at 0.92, reflecting a mildly cautious sentiment.
Bank Nifty:
Bank Nifty’s immediate resistance is seen at 55,500 and 55,000, where the highest call OI is concentrated. On the support side, 53,500 and 53,000 hold strong put OI, suggesting a firm base.
In the previous session, call writing intensified at 54,500 and 55,000, while put writers focused on 53,500—defining a short-term range of 53,500–55,000.
With the PCR at 0.86, the setup remains slightly bearish, and a breakout from this band could lead to a sharp directional move.
