TRADE SETUP FOR FEB 12

  1. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • The index formed a small bearish candle but still made a higher high and higher low, indicating consolidation with a slightly positive trend near the 26,000 level. Stock-specific movements are likely to remain in focus as the quarterly earnings season comes to an end.

    • Going forward, if the index sustains above the key psychological level of 26,000, it may move higher toward the 26,200–26,300 resistance range in the coming sessions. However, if it fails to stay above 26,000, the index may move sideways between 25,500 and 26,000.

    • The overall outlook remains positive, and market dips can be seen as buying opportunities. Immediate support is placed at 25,500–25,400, which aligns with last week’s breakout area and the 20-day EMA.

  2. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 26,020, followed by the 26,100 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,870, followed by 25,770.

    • Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 60,900, followed by 61,170, while downside support is found at 60,440, followed by 60,200.

Derivative Market Analysis

  1. Nifty:

    • The weekly synthetic future is placed near 25,971, keeping the index anchored near higher levels.

    • The highest call writing is at 26,000, establishing this strike as the immediate resistance. 

    • Call writers were active above 25,900, reinforcing the supply zone near 26,000.

    • Put writers, however, were concentrated between 25,900–26,000, forming a strong support band just below current prices.

    • A reduction in call positions at 26,000 could allow the prevailing bullish trend to extend further.

    • On the downside, a sustained break below 26,000 may lead to a drift towards 25,800, where the next layer of support is placed.

  2. Bank Nifty:

    • Both the highest call and put OI remain at 60,000, making this the primary pivot level.

    • Put writers dominated in the 60,000–61,000 zone, building a firm support cushion.

    • Call writers were comparatively muted, with additions mainly at 60,800 and 62,500, indicating resistance is positioned higher.

    • A straddle formation near 60,800 highlights this as the immediate balance zone.

    • The overall structure remains constructive as long as the index sustains above 60,500.

US Share Market News

  1. Performance Overview:

    • U.S. stocks closed slightly lower on Wednesday, while Treasury yields moved higher after data showed the economy added many more jobs than expected in January. The strong jobs report may make it harder for the Federal Reserve to continue cutting interest rates this year.

  2. Sector-specific indicator:
