From a technical perspective, the most important of the four previous sessions was that on Friday as both Nifty and Nifty Bank Index were steeply overbought on the daily time frame. Apart from this, they also appeared structurally over-extended on the charts.
The previous session has resulted in the formation of a large bearish engulfing candle. This may prove to be even more significant and potent as it has emerged following a steep uptrend.
Besides this, the options data also indicates that looking at the Open Interest across strike prices, Nifty and Nifty Bank may find strong resistance at 18000 and 39500 levels respectively.
The coming week, which will also see the expiry of the current month’s derivative series, is likely to start on a quiet note. Nifty will face strong resistance at 17950 and 18050 levels and the supports are expected to come in at 17650 and 17500 levels. The trading range is likely to get wider than usual over the coming week.
ET CONTRIBUTORSThe weekly RSI is 60.57 and it has marked a new 14-period high but does not show any divergence against the price. The weekly MACD is bullish and trades above the signal line.
The coming week will see markets behaving in a very tentative manner and in all likelihood, the Nifty has formed a potential halt of the rally at the high point of the previous week, i.e., 17992. This means the 18000 level will act as a very strong resistance point for the markets going ahead. It is strongly recommended that all up moves from now on must be utilized to book and protect profits at higher levels. Fresh purchases should be done less aggressively and they should be kept limited only to those pockets of stocks that are showing improvement in their relative strength against the broader markets. A highly cautious approach is advised for the coming week.
In our look at Relative Rotation Graphs®, we compared various sectors against CNX500 (NIFTY 500 Index), which represents over 95% of the free float market cap of all the stocks listed.
ET CONTRIBUTORSET CONTRIBUTORSThe analysis of Relative Rotation Graphs (RRG) shows that just like the previous week, Bank Nifty, Nifty Consumption, FMCG, Auto, and Financial Services indexes are continuing to pare their relative momentum against the broader markets. Further, while NIFTY MidCap 100 index stays well inside the leading , the PSU Bank has rolled back inside the improving quadrant.
Nifty Energy remains in the weakening quadrant for this week as well; it appears to be about to roll inside the lagging quadrant.
Nifty Infrastructure and NIFTY PSE Indexes have rolled inside the lagging quadrant and may see relative underperformance against the broader markets. Besides this, Nifty Pharma and Media also continue to languish inside the lagging quadrant. Nifty Commodities and Metal Index are inside the lagging quadrant but they continue to improve on their relative momentum.
Nifty IT stays in the improving quadrant along with the Realty Index. These may continue to perform well over the coming week.
