India Market Outlook

  1. Market in Previous Session:

    • Indian equity benchmarks wrapped up the session on a firm footing, with Nifty settling in the vicinity of the psychological 25,000 mark on August 25th.  Moreover, Nifty remained confined within the prior session’s range, leading to the formation of an Inside Bar. 

    • Easing concerns over global interest rates lifted investor morale, as dovish signals from the U.S. Federal Reserve pointed to a potential rate cut next month, spurring risk appetite in emerging markets. On the home front, consistent institutional buying and cooling crude oil prices added to the positive undertone.

    • At close, the Sensex was up 329.06 points or 0.40 percent at 81,635.91, and the Nifty was up 97.65 points or 0.39 percent at 24,967.75.

    • The BSE Midcap and Small-cap gauges concluded on a muted note, reflecting lacklustre movement.

    • On the sectoral front, the Nifty IT index outperformed with a sharp 2.3% surge, while the Realty index advanced 0.7% and the Metal index posted a 0.6% uptick.

TRADE SETUP FOR AUG 26

  1. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • The index formed a small bullish candle with long wicks on both sides, staying within the previous day’s range, indicating consolidation around 25,000.

    • If the index sustains above Monday’s high of 25,021, it could move towards 25,160–25,250, which is a key resistance zone. On the downside, immediate support is seen at 24,840, where the 20- and 50-day EMAs are placed.

    • We suggest a staggered buying approach, focusing on quality stocks that may benefit from the upcoming GST changes. For the near term, the support base has shifted higher to 24,600–24,400, where the 100-day EMA and last Monday’s gap area coincide.

  2. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,020, followed by 25,130 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,840, followed by 24,750.

    • Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 55,310, followed by 55,550, while downside support is found at 54,900, followed by 54,650.

Derivative Market Analysis

  1. Nifty:

    • The highest call open interest is placed at 25,000 followed by 26,000, while the highest put open interest is also at 25,000 followed by 24,000. 

    • In the previous session, call unwinding was seen in the 24,800–25,000 zone, whereas put writing emerged below 25,000, indicating a positive bias. However, fresh call writing above 25,400 highlights immediate resistance at higher levels. 

    • A sustained move above 25,000, coupled with further call unwinding, can fuel a bullish move. On the downside, if 24,900 breaks, the index could drift lower towards 24,500. 

    • The put-call ratio currently stands at 0.88, reflecting a balanced yet cautious sentiment.

  2. Bank Nifty:

    • In Bank Nifty, the highest call open interest stands at 57,000 followed by 56,000, while the strongest put writing is at 55,000 followed by 54,000. 

    • In the last session, call writing above 55,200 indicated stiff resistance, while put unwinding between 55,400–56,100 alongside fresh additions below 55,200 suggested a shift of the base towards lower strikes. 

    • The 55,000 level remains a key support to track, and a break below it could open the gates for 54,000. 

    • On the upside, 55,500 will act as a crucial resistance level. The put-call ratio has declined to 0.56, indicating a bearish tilt in sentiment.

US Share Market News

  1. Performance Overview:

    • Wall Street closed lower on Monday as investors assessed the outlook for U.S. interest rates, awaited Nvidia’s earnings this week, and took a breather after Friday’s rally that pushed the Dow Jones to a record high.

  2. Sector-Specific Index:

    • The S&P 500 declined 0.43% to end the session at 6,439.32 points.

    • The Nasdaq declined 0.22% to 21,449.29 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.77% to 45,282.47 points.
