Index is likely open on a flat note amid mixed global cues - ICICI Direct
Nifty
• The fag end buying demand helped index to resolve out of past three session’s choppy trading range (18400-18280). The daily price action formed a bull candle carrying higher high, indicating continuance of upward momentum. The formation of lower shadow highlights, elevated buying demand
• We expect index to endure its northbound journey and challenge the all-time high of 18600 in the coming sessions, consequently paving the way towards 18900 by December 2022. The elongation of rallies along with shallow retracement signifies inherent strength that augurs well extension of ongoing up move. Thus, a temporary breather from here on should be capitalised on as incremental buying opportunity as we do not expect the index to breach the key support of 17800. Our positive stance on the market is based on following observations:
• a) the Nifty has given a resolute breakout from 13 month consolidation phase indicating end of corrective phase and beginning of structural uptrend
• b) US$, INR pair has reversed from its key resistance around 83 mark on expected lines, supported by similar sharp reversal in US dollar index from multi year trend line resistance. Sequential lower high-low formation in US$, INR pair to favour inflows in Indian equities
• c) India VIX has breached six month’s low below reading of 15 indicating low risk perception from market participants
• d) global equity indices made sharp bullish reversal last week. Dow Jones industrial average has given a breakout from 11-month long declining channel indicating end of corrective phase and expected to pose a technical pullback thereby supporting overall bullish sentiment
• Structurally, the formation of higher peak and trough signifies elevated buying demand that makes us confident to retain support base at 17800 as it is 38.2% retracement of past four week’s rally 16950-18428
• The broader market indices are forming a higher base above 52 weeks EMA. We expect, Nifty midcap, small cap indices to accelerate upward momentum and witness catch up activity against the Nifty
• In the coming session, index is likely open on a flat note amid mixed global cues. We expect index to endure its positive momentum. Thus, intraday dip towards 18395-18422 should be used to create intraday long positions for target of 18510
Nifty Bank
• The daily price action formed a bull candle with a higher high -low and a fresh all time high (42450 ) signalling continuation of the positive momentum
• The index during last week has generated a breakout above the last eight weeks range (41840 -37387 ) signaling extension of the up move . Going forward, we expect the index to gradually head towards 43500 levels in the coming weeks being the 138 . 2 % external retracement of the recent breather (41840 -37386 ) . Hence, any dips should be used as an incremental buying opportunity in quality banking stocks
• Structurally, in the Bank Nifty rallies are getting faster and stronger while corrections are shallow, underpinning inherent strength . It has recently generated a faster retracement on higher degree as eight month’s decline (41829-32990) was completely retraced in just two and half months highlighting robust price structure
• The Bank Nifty has support at 40500 mark being the confluence of the (a) 38 . 2 % retracement of the last six weeks up move (37387 -42345 ) placed at 42500 (b) the 10 weeks EMA currently placed at 42570 levels
• Among the oscillators the weekly MACD remain in strong up trend and is seen sustaining above its nine periods average thus validates positive bias
