Nifty outlook and strategy

Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas

Following a correction of around 1000 points over seven trading sessions, Nifty is currently undergoing a pullback phase. Analysts anticipate a relief rally to continue in the upcoming trading sessions. The hourly momentum indicator has exhibited a positive crossover, indicating a buying opportunity. A buy and hold strategy is recommended to capitalize on this upward movement.

On May 14, Nifty exhibited bullish signs by finding support at a higher low of 21,821, compared to the previous low of 21,777. The 22,300–22,330 zone poses a significant challenge due to the convergence of the 20 and 50-day moving averages (DMA). A clear breakthrough above this resistance level could instigate short covering and drive a rally towards 22,500–22,600. Conversely, a decline below the 100-DMA at 22,000 may trigger renewed selling pressure

Key resistance: 22,310 - 22,525 - 22,650

Key support: 22,000 - 21,800 - 21,680

Strategy: Buy

Stop loss: 21,800

Over the past three months, Nifty has been trading within a wide range of 21,750-22,750. The 50 percent retracement of the recent downward move from 22,794 to 21,821 is approximately at the 22,307 level, likely serving as a formidable resistance in the near future. If breached, the index could advance towards 22,500 in the coming week. However, failure to surpass this level may result in a decline towards 22,000 levels.

Key resistance: 22,307 - 22,422 - 22,500

Key support: 22,000 - 21,800 - 21,750

For Nifty, traders can consider implementing a bull call spread in the 23rd May weekly expiry. This involves buying a 22,250 CE and selling a 22,500 CE. The estimated margin required is Rs 11,100, with a maximum profit potential of Rs 3,492 if Nifty closes at 22,500 on expiry. A stop loss should be set to exit if the total position loss exceeds 50% of the max gain, which is Rs 1,746.

As for Bank Nifty, technical analysis indicates a bullish outlook in the short term. With a correction of approximately 3000 points over nine trading sessions, a bullish crossover in the hourly momentum indicator suggests potential short covering ahead. Key resistance levels are at 48,126 - 48,480, while key support levels are at 47,500 - 47,150. The strategy is to buy on dips until 47,600, targeting 48,126 - 48,480, with a stop loss at 47,150.

According to Pravesh Gour, Bank Nifty is exhibiting a bullish trend within an upward channel, finding support at the lower channel line. A bullish engulfing candlestick pattern has formed, with the immediate hurdle at the 20-DMA of 48,150. A breakout above this level could trigger short covering and rally towards 48,600 and 49,000. Conversely, a breakdown below the crucial 100-DMA at 47,200 could lead to selling pressure, pushing the index down to the 200-DMA at 46,000. Key resistance levels are at 48,150 - 48,600 - 49,000, while key support levels are at 47,200 - 46,500 - 46,000. The strategy is to buy with a stop loss set at 47,100.
