NSE (Nifty): 15632

Technical Outlook

* The daily price action formed a bear candle carrying lower highlow, indicating extended correction as index breached past three weeks low (15633) on a closing. Even the resilient broader market indices succumbed to the selling pressure as Nifty midcap and small cap lost 1.4%, each

* Contrary to our expectation, breakout above upper band of consolidation (15900) has not materialised, indicating prolonging of ongoing consolidation in the range of (15900-15500). Going ahead, we believe either side breakout would dictate further directional bias. Meanwhile, consolidation (15900-15500) with stock specific action would continue amid progression of Q1FY22 earning season

* Key point to highlight since mid-March 2021 is that, the index has not corrected for more than four consecutive sessions. In the current scenario, the Nifty has already corrected over the past three sessions in a row. Hence, we expect the index to maintain the same rhythm by arresting ongoing corrective phase in couple of sessions. In the near term, upside will be capped at 15900 as index failed to sustain above upper band of consolidation on fifth occasion in last five weeks, highlighting key resistance at 15900

* The Nifty midcap and small cap indices took a breather after past four weeks sharp up move. We believe, temporary breather from hereon would help broader market to cool off the overbought condition and form a higher base that would pave the way for next leg of up move

* Structurally, we believe the ongoing corrective phase would get anchored around key support zone of 15600-15500, which has been held despite recent global volatility. We do not expect 15500 to be breached as it is confluence of:

* a) 80% retracement of June-July rally (15450-15962), at 15550

* b) 10 weeks EMA placed at 15572 In the coming session, index is likely to witness gap up opening tracking buoyant global cues. We expect index to trade with a positive bias amid elevated volatility owing to weekly derivative expiry. Hence, use intraday dip towards 15670-15695 to create long for target of 15783

The Bank Nifty after the recent sharp decline is currently placed near the lower band of the last seven weeks consolidation range placed around 34000 levels .

* The index has witnessed a shallow retracement as it has retraced just 50 % of its May rally (32115 -35810 ) over past seven weeks highlighting a positive price structure and a higher base formation

* We advise to capitalize the current breather as an incremental buying opportunity in quality large and mid cap banks as the overall structure remains positive
