BIG 2 DAYS
SGX Nifty indicating gap down on penultimate day
Buying on gap downs has worked all through May
Big nervousness in global markets on US debt ceiling
Domestic numbers continue to look very strong
Very strong margin performance by Ashok Leyland
Nifty IT and Nifty Bank both ended at day’s low yesterday
Nifty IT may have finished its swing rally of 200 DMA
Nifty Bank still has unfinished business of new high

SECOND TEST OF 20 DMA?
Nifty had defended first test of 20 DMA on Friday
Basic strategy is to buy with 20 DMA as stop loss
If 20 DMA breaks this time, correction can be big
Bank Nifty needs to hold 43,450 to continue uptrend (20 DMA)
Near-term texture of market depends on debt ceiling talks

NIFTY OUTLOOK
Nifty will need to negotiate fall in Nifty IT today
Nifty IT rallied to 200 DMA, fell from highs
Basic texture of “Buy on dips” will be tested today
First support level: 18,260 (From options base)
Big support level: 18,170 (20 DMA)
Buy only if Nifty stabilizes around 18,260 level
Stop loss for all intra-day longs at 18,170
Short trade will open if first recovery starts to fail

BANK NIFTY OUTLOOK
Bank Nifty has now seen 6 days of consolidation
Any market recovery has to be led by Bank Nifty
First support level for Index at 43,800 (Options base)
Most important support level: 43,450 (20 DMA)
Wait for stability between support 1 and support 2
Buy trade if Index stabilizes, stop loss: 43,450
Short trade will open if recovery starts to fail

Good morning

The rain theory never fails. There are some times in life when you dont apply technicals or fundamentals - just your experience :)

Good morning. The Bank Nifty will hit all time high and even attempt 45000 as I have maintained as consistent view for May. Today will be a good day to book profit and step aside. 🙏🙏

BUY IN MAY AND GO AWAY!
Debt ceiling deal leads to party in global market
Bank Nifty set to start at a new all time high
Midcap Index also set to start at a new high
Nifty likely to get very close to all time high
Today will be good day to take short-term profit on Index
Big question: Can the Nifty now race towards 20,000?

PREMATURE CELEBRATION?
Global markets celebrating US debt deal
US inflation still high, economy very strong
Risk of this current rally getting sold into in US
Indian market has been moving on its own speed
Now is a good time to rebalance portfolio
Investors must use this rally to exit poor stocks
Some cash levels should be raised in this rally

NIFTY OUTLOOK
Friday’s view was to buy at open and carry
Today’s first trade is to book profit and step aside
No point chasing last 100-150 point move
Profit booking zone: 18,650-18,700
Today, Nifty unlikely to give you intra-day profit
US market closed tonight, need to watch news flow
Sell trade will open if Nifty starts to reject 18,700
Strict stop loss for intra-day shorts: 18,750
First sign of profit taking will be visible in IT stocks

BANK NIFTY OUTLOOK
Bank Nifty is set to zoom in open
Bank Nifty has consolidated for 6 days in a row
Conviction of new highs in May will prove right today
Profit taking zone: 44,550-44,750
No thoughts of shorting, but book profit on longs
At 45,000, Bank Nifty will become very expensive

Good morning

CHASE THE BUS OR WAIT FOR NEXT?
