Indications in Nifty 50 index are in the favor of marginal consolidation after the recent surge but the bias would remain on the positive side till it holds 17,400 zone. We advise utilising dips to create longs for the upside potential of 18,000-18,100. While among the key sectors, the Banking index has played a critical role in the recent recovery and we expect this trend to continue. It has the potential to test the 38500+ zone in the coming sessions. In case of any dip, the 36200-36700 zone would provide the cushion. In line with the Nifty, traders should continue with the ‘buy on dips’ approach.

On the daily chart, the Nifty 50 index formed a bearish candle with either side shadows in the previous session indicating volatility throughout the session. The index is moving in a Higher Top and Higher Bottom formation on the daily chart indicating a sustained up trend. The chart pattern suggests that if Nifty crosses and sustains above 17800 level it would witness buying which would lead the index towards 18100-18200 levels. However, if the index breaks below 17700 level it would witness selling which would take the index towards 17600-17500. Nifty is trading above its 20 day SMA which indicates positive bias in the short term. Nifty continues to remain in an uptrend for the short term, so buying on dips continues to be our preferred strategy. The daily strength indicator RSI is moving upwards and is above its reference line indicating positive bias.

The new Options series has opened much on the expected lines. Today, high PUT writing was seen at 17800, but max PUT continued to remain at 17500. However, it would be crucial to see if Nifty stays above 17800 levels given the amount of put writing. On the other hand, max Call OI stayed constant at 18000. This means that the most immediate trading range is 17800-18000 for Nifty. Weakness may come if 17800 is violated. Otherwise a rangebound days can be expected.
For Bank Nifty, 38000 is expected to act as inflection point. This strike level is seeing both Call and Put writing being done today. The direction on the either side will be established depending upon if the Bank Nifty index is able to take out and move above 38000 levels or not. 38000 also has max Call OI concentration and hence act as an most immediate resistance point for the Bank Nifty.
