  • Navigating the Opening Bell with Sbi Securities: 6 Key Technical and Derivative Insights
  • 1. Global Market:
  • On Monday, all three major U.S. indices saw a sharp rally, driven by optimism over the interest rate outlook following last Friday's producer price inflation report. The #Dow and #S&P500 reached fresh all-time highs, climbing 0.47% and 0.77% respectively, while the #Nasdaq jumped 0.82%.
  • Going ahead, the S&P 500 is likely to continue its northward journey and test the level of 5920, followed by 5980 in the short term. The support zone is shifted higher in the zone of 5820-5800 level.
  • On Monday, #BrentOil plunged nearly 5% after OPEC cut its demand forecast for 2024 and 2025 for the third consecutive time. This decline pushed Brent Oil below its 20 and 50-day EMA levels. Additionally, the daily RSI has shown a bearish crossover, signaling further weakness. Going ahead, it is likely to continue its southward journey and test the level of $71 in the short term.
  • The U.S. Dollar Index (#DXY) has surged by 0.29 percent on Monday, and it has touched its 200-day EMA level. Going ahead, any sustainable move above its 200-day EMA zone of 103.30-103.50 will lead to a sharp upside rally in DXY upto the 104.50 level.
  • 2. Nifty View:
  • The benchmark Nifty index saw a pullback rally on Monday, closing at 25127 with a 0.66% gain. However, for the last four trading sessions, it has been fluctuating within a tight range of 25234 to 24920.
  • As a result of this consolidation, the 50-day EMA has flattened, and the daily RSI is exhibiting sideways movement based on RSI range shift rules. We expect the index to remain in this consolidation range for the next couple of trading sessions.
  • Going ahead, the zone of 25230-25250 will act as an immediate hurdle for the index. Any sustainable move above the level of 25250 will lead to an extension of the pullback rally upto the level of 25370, followed by the 25500 level.
  • While, on the downside, the support zone has shifted higher in the zone of 25050-25030 level.
  • On the #derivative front, October #futures ended higher by 0.69 percent, and the cumulative #OpenInterest of current, next, and far series dipped by 2.26 percent, which indicates an overall short covering rally.
  • Among the constituents of the #Nifty index, 21 stocks have witnessed a long build-up, and 13 stocks have witnessed a short covering rally. While 13 stocks have witnessed a short build-up and 3 stocks have witnessed a long unwinding.
  • The 25200 strike has significant call open interest, followed by the 25300 strike. On the put side, 25100 has a substantial open interest, followed by a 25000 strike.
  • For the weekly series, OI PCR is at 0.70. While, for the October monthly series, OI PCR is at 1.01.
  • 3. Bank Nifty View:
  • Bank Nifty has strongly outperformed frontline indices. It has ended above the 51800 level with a gain of 1.26 percent. On a daily scale, it has formed a sizeable bullish candle. The daily RSI is about to give a bullish crossover.
  • Going ahead, the 20-day EMA zone of 51950-52000 will act as an immediate hurdle for the index. Any sustainable move above the level of 52000 will lead to a sharp upside rally upto the level of 52400, followed by 52800 in the short term.
  • On the downside, the zone of 51600-51500 will act as immediate support for the index.
  • On the #derivative front, October #futures surged by 1.28 percent, and the cumulative #OpenInterest of current, next, and far series has dipped by 6.28 percent, which indicates an overall short-covering rally.
  • The 52000 strike has significant call open interest, followed by the 52500 strike. On the put side, 51500 has a substantial open interest, followed by a 51000 strike.
  • For the weekly series, OI PCR is at 1.01, and for the October monthly series, OI PCR is at 0.91.
  • 4. Key Market Indicators:
  • The volatility index #INDIAVIX ended on a negative note for the fifth consecutive trading sessions. Going ahead, the zone of 14.20-14.40 will act as an immediate hurdle for the index. While, on the downside, the zone of 11.80-11.60 will act as a crucial support for the index.
  • Despite an upmove in the frontline indices, the #Advance/Decline ratio remained flat on Monday.
  • 5. Key Sectors:
  • Nifty IT is on the verge of giving a Bullish Flag-like pattern breakout on a daily scale. Going ahead, any sustainable move above the level of 43200 will lead to a sharp upside rally in the index.
  • Nifty Bank, Nifty Private Bank, and Nifty Financial Services have outperformed frontline indices on Monday. We believe they are likely to continue their pullback rally in the next couple of trading sessions.
  • 6. FII/DII Data:
  • #FIIs sold to the tune of 3731.59 cr. while #DIIs bought to the tune of 2278.09 cr.
  • FIIs' #Long-short ratio for index futures is at 35.48 as on a net basis, they bought 110 index futures.
