MARKET CLOSING COMMENT :: Shrikant Chouhan, Executive Vice President, Equity Technical Research at Kotak Sec

On Tuesday, key Benchmark indices consolidated near 15850/52900, but the last hour recovery indicates further uptrend from current levels.  After a muted opening, the Nifty/Sensex slipped to intraday lows of 15779.70/52751.75 before reversing sharply thereafter. While key indices hovered in the range of 15800-15850/ 52820-52900, the last hour of the trade helped surpass the intraday hurdle of 15850/52900 which is broadly positive for the market.  Among sectors, strong buying was seen in the Metal and Reality stocks, whereas some intraday profit booking was witnessed in Energy and selective Auto stocks.

 

We are of the view that the larger market structure is still positive and likely to continue in the near future if the market succeeds to trade above 15850/52900. Technically, the 20-day SMA or 15750/52500 should be the sacrosanct level for the market. Above the same, the uptrend texture is likely to continue up to 15930-16065/ 53300-53550. On the other side, the uptrend would be vulnerable if indices close below 15750/ 52500 or below 20 day SMA.

TECH VIEW :: Ashis Biswas, Head of Technical Research at CapitalVia Global Research

The market witnessed some lackluster movement and an attempt to hold the support level around the Nifty 50 Index level of 15800. The market shows that the expected levels are likely to be in the range of 15800 and 15950, and it is going to be crucial for the short-term market scenario to sustain above the 15800 Nifty50 Index level. The momentum indicators like RSI and MACD have recovered from their respective oversold zone and support the upside move and indicating potential upside from the current market level.

MARKET CLOSING COMMENT :: Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research at HDFC Securities

Indian benchmark equity indices ended higher after opening in the negative on July 7. Nifty opened in the negative and gradually inched up through the day to end almost at the intra day high. At close, the Nifty was up 61.40 points or 0.39% at 15879.70.

 

Volumes on the NSE were below recent averages. Among sectors, Realty and Metals gained the most while Oil & Gas, Consumer Durables and Energy fell the most. BSE midcap and smallcap indices ended marginally in the green.

 

Fitch Ratings on Wednesday cut India's growth forecast to 10 percent for the current fiscal, from 12.8 percent estimated earlier, due to slowing recovery post second wave of COVID-19, and said rapid vaccination could support a sustainable revival in business and consumer confidence.

 

Nifty has closed at the all time high on July 07. It is just shy of the intraday high of 15915. The current momentum can take the Nifty past the previous high. Sectoral rotation continues while volumes remain subdued. On falls, Nifty could take support at 15818, while on rises, once the previous high of 15915 is sustainably breached, it could rise towards 15970.

TECH VIEW :: Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities

The short term uptrend status of the market remains intact and the market is inching closer to witness sharp upside breakout of 15915 in the next couple of sessions. Intraday consolidation could be expected in the subsequent session around the hurdle before the upside breakout. The next upside target to be watched post upmove is around 16100-16200 in a short period of time. Immediate support is placed at 15800.

4:57 PM

TECH VIEW :: We may see a good up move if Nifty sustains above 15,920

Nifty index closed on a positive note at 15,880 and formed a bullish candle on the daily chart.

The index is on the verge of giving a breakout from its "Ascending Triangle: pattern on the daily chart which will happen above 15,920 zone. As Ascending Triangle is continuation pattern by nature, we may see a good up move in the near term if the index sustains above 15,920.

Support for the index is coming near 15,830-15,780 zone & resistance is coming near 15,920-16,000

MARKET STRATEGY :: Q1FY22 earning to provide some direction to the markets

In a highly volatile session, markets ended with gains of nearly half a percent. After a flat opening, the benchmark traded volatile in the first half however healthy buying in metals, realty and banking stocks in second half aided markets to inch upwards. Consequently, the Nifty ended higher by 0.4% at 15,880 levels. The broader markets, midcap and small cap, mood remained buoyant as it too ended in a positive range of 0.6-0.7%. On the sector front, the majority of the indices ended with decent gains, except for auto, energy and media.

 

In the near term, Q1FY22 earning is likely to provide some direction to the markets, in absence of any major triggers. So, we remain cautiously optimistic and believe any correction at this juncture should be considered healthy as investors will get the opportunity to invest in quality counters on dips. Meanwhile, investors will keep a close watch on global cues.
