INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
By Chandan TapariaThe Nifty50 index formed a Hammer candle on Wednesday, as it fell to 10,355 and then recovered to close above 10,400
It engulfed the trading range of last session but witnessed buying interest from lower levels. Price patterns indicated absence of buying at
higher levels while every decline is being bought into
This suggests a positive to rangebound move in the market. Now, while on the downside, supports are seen at 10,350 and then 10,333
levels. On the options front, maximum Put open interest stood at strike price 10,000 followed by 10,300, while maximum Call OI was at 10,500
followed by 10,600
There was significant Put writing at 10,400 and 10,300 levels, which shifted its support on the higher side while Call writing was seen at
10,600 followed by 10,400 levels
The option band suggests a broader trading range between 10,300 and 10,500 levels. India VIX moved up 1.52 per cent to 14.72
VIX has to remain between 13.50 and 13 to start the fresh leg of upmove. Bank Nifty finally negated the formation of higher highs of last
six sessions and remained under pressure for most part of the day
It formed a bearish candle on the daily chart, which means supply is visible at higher levels. Now an immediate uptrend could remain intact
only as long as it holds above 25,000 level, while on the upside hurdles are seen at 25,250 and then 25,500 levels
If Nifty slips below 25,000 level, then a small dip could be seen towards its next support at 24,750 level. Nifty futures closed in the
negative at 10,416 with a marginal loss of 0.05 per cent
Long buildup was seen in Bata India, IRB, Amara Raja Battery, Exide India, McDowell, Hindalco, Jubilant Foodworks, Hexaware, Jindal Steel,
