My view on zero hero trades.

What next for Nifty

Good morning

BIG DAY TODAY FOR LEADERSHIP STOCKS
ICICI Bank delivers strong nos but margin down sequentially
Brokerages believe ICICI’s nos from here will moderate
Kotak Mahindra nos strong but valuations expensive
Reliance: Decent nos but stock has seen a big rally already
Infosys: Delivery volume of Rs 3,700 cr on Friday
Nifty: 10 DEMA of 19,640 remains the crucial mark
Market’s texture still is “Buy on dips”
((Give me Nifty futures plate))

HUGE WEEK FOR MARKETS
Most important cue: FOMC meet on interest rate
Market’s base case: 25 bps hike and dovish commentary
Surprise only if no rate hike or commentary hawkish
Nifty will react to 22% of earnings today by weight
By expiry, 73% of Nifty weight results will be out

RESULTS THIS WEEK
MONDAY TATA STEEL
TUESDAY ASIAN PAINTS | BAJAJ AUTO | L&T | SBI LIFE | TATA MOTORS
WEDNESDAY AXIS BANK | BAJAJ FINANCE | BPCL | CIPLA | DRL | TATA CONSUMER | TECHM

BANK NIFTY OUTLOOK

Fin Nifty’s expiry today, need to see last hour move
Bank Nifty still much above 5 and 10 DEMA
ICICI Bank’s behaviour today will be most crucial
Yesterday, Canara Bank posted stellar nos
SBI remains on course to hit fresh highs
Need some participation from HDFC bank and Kotak
Bank Nifty’s range: 45,750-46,250
Traders need to play the range smartly

Good morning

GOOD NUMBERS VS COMMODITY SURGE
Both L&T and Tata Motors post stunning nos
L&T approves buyback, Tamo to delist DVR
India Inc got clear advantage of low commodity prices
Surge in commodity prices again can be a big problem
FMCG stocks have led the recent correction in market
Keep an eye on Crude prices, major headwind above $85/bbl
Nifty defended 10 DEMA, closed way off lows
After 2 back to back days, Nifty didn’t close at day’s low

IMPORTANCE OF TODAY
Big day for market for a lot of reasons
Biggest reason: Fed’s outcome, market will pre-empt
7 Nifty cos will declare nos today ((Show the list))
D-1 day of monthly expiry, normally is a trending day
Good chance that Midcap Index will hit new all-time high
Broader market has remained strong, only Nifty struggling
Nifty needs 1-2 big stocks to fire to go to 20,000

NIFTY OUTLOOK
First resistance: 19,729 (Yesterday’s open and high)
Bigger resistance: 19,828 (Options based)
First support: 19,662 (10 DEMA)
Bigger support: 19,616 (yesterday’s low)
If 19,600 starts to break, get out of long positions
Buy for intra-day only if Nifty stable above 19,729
If Nifty stable above 19,729, buy with stop of 19,662

BANK NIFTY OUTLOOK
Watch for 3 big stocks: HDFC Bank, ICICI and SBI
HDFC Bank is showing signs of testing previous highs
ICICI Bank stable around 1000 mark, new highs possible
SBI corrected yesterday, crucial day today
Bank Nifty still remains positionally very strong
For fresh breakout, need to cross 46,200 with volume
Traders need to play range of 45,650-46,150 till a breakout
Buy near 45,700 with 45,650 stop
Sell near 46,100 with 46,150 stop
Once 46,200 is crossed, can chase the move

Approach of buying strength above 19,729 worked today. You need to keep adjusting according to markets
