India Market Outlook

  1. Market in Previous Session:

    • On May 20th, benchmark indices declined following a brief two-session consolidation, pressured by broad-based selling and deteriorating market internals. Despite the overall structure retaining a bullish bias in the short term, the possibility of a deeper corrective move remains.

    • At the close, the Sensex dropped 872.98 points or 1.06% to settle at 81,186.44, while the Nifty fell 261.55 points or 1.05% to close at 24,683.90.

    • Broader market indices also came under significant pressure, with the  Midcap and Smallcap indices declining between 1% and 1.60%, indicating aggressive profit booking and a shift toward risk aversion in the broader universe.

    • All sectoral indices ended in negative territory, with the Auto pack leading the losses—three of the top five losers were from this segment. Other major drags included Consumption, Healthcare, Media, and Financial Services, all of which faced substantial selling pressure, underscoring widespread profit-taking across key sectors.


TRADE SETUP FOR MAY 21

  1. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • The index formed a sizable bearish candlestick on the daily chart, marked by a lower high and lower low, signaling a corrective pullback after two sessions of consolidation.

    • Defying expectations, the index broke below the 24,850 support level, triggering a deeper decline in the previous session.

    • In the near term, we expect the index to enter a consolidation phase within the 24,400–25,200 range as it works off the overbought conditions reflected in the daily stochastic oscillator.

    • Crucial support is seen at the 24,350–24,400 zone — a key confluence area defined by last week’s low, the 20-day EMA, and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the recent upswing from 23,935 to 25,116.

  2. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,800 followed by 24,930 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,560, followed by 24,450.

    • Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 55,100, followed by 55,370, while downside support is found at 55,500, followed by 54,270.


Derivative Market Analysis

  1. Nifty:

    • The highest Call Open Interest (OI) is concentrated at the 25,000 strike, which is expected to act as a strong resistance. A sustainable move above this level could trigger short covering.

    • Significant Call writing activity is observed across strikes above 24,700, suggesting multiple resistance zones and indicating a limited upside.

    • On the downside, Put writers have unwound positions, and lack of fresh additions implies a potential for further downside correction.

    • Based on the option chain, the immediate range for Nifty is between 24,500 and 24,800. A breakout beyond this range on either side could lead to a directional move.

    • The PCR has declined by 0.13 and currently stands at 0.69.

  2. Bank Nifty:

    • There is a clear dominance of Call writing activity across strikes above 55,000 up to 55,500, indicating multiple resistance levels. Notably, the highest Call OI remains at 63,000, which continues to be an interesting data point.

    • On the downside, major Put writing is seen at the 55,000 strike. A sustained move below this level may lead to further correction, potentially dragging the index toward the 54,000 mark.

    • The option chain data indicates a broader trading range between 54,000 and 56,000. A decisive break on either side could result in a directional move.

    • The PCR for Bank Nifty has dropped by 0.09, now positioned at 0.77.


US Share Market News

  1. Performance Overview:

    • Wall Street's key equity indices declined on Tuesday, halting the S&P 500’s six-day winning streak that had been fueled by easing tensions in the US-China trade conflict.

  2. Sector-Specific Movements:

    • The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each dropped 0.4%, closing at 5,940.5 and 19,142.7, respectively, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.3% to finish at 42,677.2. Most sectors closed in negative territory, with energy leading the losses.
