Tech View :: 'Nifty Bank's structure to become weak below 43,400'

Nifty50
On the daily charts, we can observe that since last four trading sessions, the Nifty is trading within the range 19,875 – 19,627. On the downside, the Nifty is trading above the zone of 19,650 – 19,600 where multiple support parameters in the form of the 40-hour moving average and the lower end of the rising channel is placed.

Thus, in case of a dip, this zone should act as a support, and we expect the Nifty to hold on to this zone and head higher over the next few trading sessions.

The hourly momentum indicator has a positive crossover. However, the Nifty is not breaching the range and once it does that, we can expect it to gain momentum.

Until then, the range bound price action is likely to continue. In terms of levels, 19,610 – 19,650 is the crucial support zone while 19,900 – 19,930 is the immediate resistance zone.
 
Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty also consolidated and closed with a gain of 110 points. Intraday witnessed a dip however, it was bought indicating buying interest at lower levels. We expect the pullback to continue till 44,000 – 44,050 from short term perspective. Structure becomes weak below 43,400.

Comment :: Here's why foreign flows might soon return to India

Today, the market exhibited positive momentum, with attention centred on the minutes of the latest Fed meeting.

The declining inflation and the recent cooling job data in the US provides foundation for a dovish comment from the Fed.

The drop in bond yields and the dollar index suggests mounting speculation regarding the potential peak in the interest rate cycle. This will attract funds to emerging markets.

The gain in the broad market was led by consumer durables and realty, thanks to a strong rebound in festive demand.
