TRADE SETUP FOR JUL 16
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a bullish candlestick on the daily chart with a higher high and higher low, indicating buying interest from the key support zone of 25,100-24,900.
It took 12 sessions to retrace just 50% of the previous 11-session rally (from 24,473 to 25,669), showing that the correction has been shallow and the overall structure remains positive.
On Tuesday, the index tested the 20-day EMA around 25,250. A move above this level could lead to further upside towards 25,500-25,600 in the coming weeks.
However, if the index fails to cross 25,250, it may consolidate between 25,000-25,250. Key support remains at 24,900-25,100.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,250, followed by 25,340 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,070, followed by 25,000.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 57,180, followed by 57,400, while downside support is found at 56,640, followed by 56,400.
Nifty:
Highest Call OI is placed at 26,000, with immediate resistance seen at 25,500—suggesting limited upside unless this level is taken out.
On the downside, strong Put OI support is observed at 25,000 and 25,200; a breakdown below 25,000 may trigger further selling pressure.
OI build-up on both sides between 25,000–25,500 indicates a possible consolidation phase, with traders awaiting a directional breakout.
In the previous session, Put writers were more aggressive, while Call writing remained subdued, reflecting a cautious stance on the upside.
Nifty Put-Call Ratio (PCR) rose by 0.16 to 0.88.
Bank Nifty:
Open Interest at 56,000 and 57,000 remains intact on both Call and Put sides, with 57,000 acting as immediate support.
57,000–57,500 is emerging as a crucial consolidation zone, with active participation from both Call and Put writers, making it a decisive range for Bank Nifty.
In the previous session, Put writers turned aggressive, even writing in-the-money options, while some unwinding was observed at the 57,500 Call strike—a positive indicator for potential upside.
A breakout on either side of the 57,000–57,500 range may lead to a clear directional move in Bank Nifty.
The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) rose slightly by 0.04 to 0.90.
Performance Overview:
US equities ended mixed on Tuesday as investors digested inflation data and bank earnings, while a rally in Nvidia propelled the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite to a fresh all-time high.
Sector-Specific Index:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1% to 44,023.3, while the S&P 500 fell 0.4% to 6,243.8. The Nasdaq rose 0.2% to 20,677.8, notching a fresh all-time high. Barring technology, all sectors ended in the red, led by a 2.1% drop in materials.
Economic Indicators:
US consumer inflation rose last month at the fastest pace since January, with analysts attributing the increase partly to tariffs. The annual inflation rate climbed to 2.7% in June from 2.4% in May, reaching its highest level since February and matching expectations.
