India Market Outlook

  1. Market in the Previous Session:

    • Indian benchmark indices closed sharply lower on January 20th , with Nifty slipping below 25,250 amid broad-based selling pressure across sectors. Renewed U.S. tariff uncertainty revived trade-war fears, lifting Treasury yields and triggering global sell-offs that dragged Indian equities lower.

    • Market volatility is expected to persist until clarity emerges on the U.S.–Europe tariff standoff over Greenland, with geopolitical and geoeconomic factors continuing to drive market direction.

    • At close, the Sensex was down 1065.78 points or 1.28 percent at 82,180.47, and the Nifty was down 353 points or 1.38 percent at 25,232.50.

TRADE SETUP FOR JAN 21

  1. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • The index formed a sizable bearish candle, registering a lower high and a lower low, which underscores an extension of the ongoing decline and confirms the continuation of the corrective bias.

    • During yesterday weekly expiry session, Nifty breached the previous major low of 12 January at 25,473 and witnessed a sharp sell-off in the latter half of the session. The decline extended to near the 200-day EMA, currently placed around 25,162, indicating increased downside pressure.

    • Looking ahead, the overall bias remains negative. A sustained move below the 200-day EMA could trigger further weakness, opening the door for a decline towards the 25,000 mark in the coming sessions. On the upside, the Tuesday breakdown zone around 25,500 is expected to act as an resistance for Nifty.

  2. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,320, followed by 25,400 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,110, followed by 25,000.

Derivative Market Analysis

  1. Nifty:

    • The index formed a sizable bearish candle, registering a lower high and a lower low, which underscores an extension of the ongoing decline and confirms the continuation of the corrective bias.

    • During yesterday weekly expiry session, Nifty breached the previous major low of 12 January at 25,473 and witnessed a sharp sell-off in the latter half of the session. The decline extended to near the 200-day EMA, currently placed around 25,162, indicating increased downside pressure.

    • Looking ahead, the overall bias remains negative. A sustained move below the 200-day EMA could trigger further weakness, opening the door for a decline towards the 25,000 mark in the coming sessions. On the upside, the Tuesday breakdown zone around 25,500 is expected to act as an resistance for Nifty.

  2. Bank Nifty:

    • Bank Nifty’s option chain continues to reflect a bearish setup.

    • The highest call OI stands at 60,000, while the highest put OI is at 59,500, defining the near-term trading zone with a clear negative bias.

    • Put writers have unwound positions between 59,300–60,000, which indicates weakening supports and reduced cushion on declines.

    • At the same time, call writers remained active across 59,300–60,000, strengthening the supply zone and reinforcing stiff overhead resistance.

    • With supports weakening and resistance strengthening, the current chain suggests selling pressure can persist, and we maintain the view that further downside remains likely in Bank Nifty as well.

US Share Market News

  1. Performance Overview:

    • The S&P 500 closed sharply lower on Tuesday, as President Donald Trump’s threat to slap fresh tariffs on a host of European countries over his desire to control Greenland triggered a wave of uncertainty, causing a sharp uptick in volatility.
