Nifty 50 Analysis
1. Current Trend: The Nifty 50 is consolidating after hitting a new low with the index defending the 22,800 level on a closing basis. Resistance is seen at 23,000, and a bullish candlestick formation suggests strength among bulls.
2. Key Levels:
- Resistance: 22,926, 22,952, 22,994, and 23,000 (immediate target). A break above 23,000 could push the index toward 23,200 (20-day EMA and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level).
- Support: 22,841, 22,815, 22,772, and 22,700 (key support). A break below 22,700 could extend the consolidation phase.
3. Options Data:
- Call Options: Maximum open interest at 23,500 (key resistance), followed by 24,000 and 23,000. Call writing at 23,500 suggests strong resistance at this level.
- Put Options: Maximum open interest at 22,000 (key support), followed by 23,000 and 22,500. Put writing at 22,300 indicates strong support near 22,000.
4. Momentum Indicators: The index is trading below key moving averages, indicating a negative bias. However, the bullish candlestick and recovery from lows suggest potential upside if bulls regain control.
5. Put-Call Ratio (PCR): The PCR rose to 0.9, indicating a bullish sentiment as traders are selling more Puts than Calls.
6. India VIX: The VIX fell by 4.78% to 14.68, favoring bulls. Lower volatility suggests a potential bullish move if the trend continues.
Probable Movement for Nifty 50:
- Bullish Scenario: If the Nifty sustains above 23,000, it could rally toward 23,200 and beyond.
- Bearish Scenario: If the index fails to hold 22,700, it may extend the consolidation phase with a downside target of 22,500-22,300.
Bank Nifty Analysis:
1. Current Trend: The Bank Nifty is rangebound, declining by 0.5% and forming a Doji-like candlestick, indicating indecision between bulls and bears. The index is struggling to sustain above short-term moving averages (10 and 20-day EMA).
2. Key Levels:
- Resistance: 49,430, 49,502, 49,619, and 50,366 (Fibonacci retracement level).
- Support: 49,197, 49,125, 49,009, and 48,800 (February 19 low). Holding above 48,800 is crucial for maintaining a positive near-term trend.
3. Options Data:
