Nifty 50 Insights:
Key Levels:
Resistance: 23,128, 23,210, and 23,342
Support: 22,864, 22,782, and 22,650
Special Formation: The Nifty 50 formed a Long Legged Doji candlestick pattern (though not a classical one) on the daily charts, indicating indecision among buyers and sellers. This pattern often acts as a trend reversal signal.
Trend: The overall trend remains negative, as the index traded below all key moving averages (10, 20, 50, 100, and 200-day EMAs) and is positioned in the lower band of Bollinger Bands.
Insight: DIIs are bullish on Nifty futures, while FIIs and Pros are bearish on index options. This creates a mixed sentiment. The Long Legged Doji pattern suggests potential indecision, but the bearish trend remains intact.
Probable Movement: Nifty 50 may test support levels at 22,864 and 22,782. A break below 22,650 could lead to further downside. On the upside, resistance at 23,128 and 23,210 will be key levels to watch for any reversal.

Support: 48,936, 48,707, and 48,337 (Pivot Points); 49,278, 47,880 (Fibonacci Retracement)
Special Formation: The Bank Nifty formed a similar pattern to the Nifty 50 (though not a classical one) on the daily timeframe, rising by 76 points after showing a 745-point recovery from the day's low.
Trend: The index traded below all key moving averages and dropped below the previous swing low, indicating an overall negative trend. However, it managed to defend the midline of the Bollinger Bands on a closing basis for another session, which is a positive sign.
Insight: DIIs are bullish on index futures, which could provide support to Bank Nifty. FIIs are bearish on index futures, indicating caution in the banking sector. Pros are mildly bullish on futures but heavily bearish on options, suggesting hedging or profit booking.
Probable Movement: Bank Nifty may test support levels at 48,936 and 48,707. A break below 48,337 could lead to further downside. On the upside, resistance at 49,675 and 49,904 will be key levels to watch for any reversal.
Key Takeaways:
1. Nifty 50: Mixed sentiment with a bearish bias due to FIIs' heavy selling in index futures and options. The Long Legged Doji pattern suggests potential indecision, but the bearish trend remains intact. Watch for support levels at 22,864 and 22,782.
2. Bank Nifty: Volatile with a bearish bias, but DIIs' support could provide a floor. The index defended the midline of the Bollinger Bands, which is a positive sign. Focus on key banking stocks for selective opportunities.
3. Overall Market Sentiment: Cautious to Bearish in the near term, with selective bullishness in individual stocks.
Trading Strategy:
Nifty 50: Consider short straddles or strangles for range-bound trading between 22,782 and 23,128. Watch for breakout levels for directional bets.
