Tech View: Nifty forms bearish shooting star candle. What traders should do next week

Nifty on Friday ended 156 points higher to form a small positive candle on the daily chart but formed a candle resembling bearish shooting star on the weekly chart. The short-term uptrend status of Nifty remains intact. But the overall chart pattern suggests a possibility of high volatility at the new highs. Any attempt of upmove from here could encounter strong resistance around 22100-22200 levels and that could possibly result in short-term weakness from the highs. Immediate support is at 21700 levels, said Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities.

On the derivative front, 22200CE added the highest open interest.

Rupee rises 7 paise to close at 82.91 against US dollar

The rupee appreciated 7 paise to close at 82.91 (provisional) against the US dollar on Friday, supported by a firm trend in domestic equities and a weak greenback against major currencies overseas amid rising appetite for riskier assets. The interim Budget 2024-25, especially the focus on fiscal prudence, left a positive impact on the domestic currency, forex traders said.

03:57:08 PM IST, 02 February 2024

Nifty surpassed the 22,000 mark during the first half of the Friday session but subsequently formed a double top on the hourly chart. Confirmation of a bullish trend resumption would only occur with a decisive breakout above the double top, which is currently identified around 22,125. Conversely, a break below the support level at 21,500 could indicate a bearish momentum. In the scenario of a breakout above 22,150, Nifty may experience upward momentum, potentially reaching levels such as 22,500 and beyond.

Stock Market View: Santosh Meena Head of Research at Swastika Investmart

The Nifty has recently reached a new all-time high, reaching 22,126. However, for a sustained upward momentum, it’s crucial for the index to maintain this level; otherwise, it might revert to a sideways trend. Should it successfully hold above 22,125, the next potential targets for the February series are identified at 22,500 and 22,700.

Conversely, on the downside, the range between 21,640 and 21,500 presents an immediate demand zone. Further down, the key demand zone is situated between 21,200 and 20,800.

India’s sovereign debt to get a big boost from budget

India’s local currency sovereign bonds are set for a strong rally after the federal government announced a plan to curb its budget deficit and borrowings for the fiscal year beginning in April.

The lower supply of government bonds will meet strong demand from foreign buyers who have bought $6.3 billion in such securities in the last three months ahead of India’s inclusion in global bond indexes.

Market view: Ajit Mishra – SVP, Technical Research, Religare Broking

Markets have reclaimed their record high after consolidating for two weeks but we feel it is early to assume that we are set for the next leg of the up move. Nifty needs sustainability above 22,150 to march towards 22,500+. Besides, consistency in the participation from the banking majors is also critical for a steady uptrend else the range bound bias would resume. Ideally, traders should focus more on stock selection in such scenarios and maintain positions on both sides.

Mornings view by Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.

Now that the two big events are behind us the market is likely to consolidate. The non-populist Budget focused on fiscal consolidation is a big positive. The big allocation for rural housing will benefit all construction-related segments like cement, steel, paints etc. Another important budget takeaway is the sharp decline in bond yields consequent to the net market borrowing kept low at Rs 11.75 trillion. This is beneficial for banks.

Global cues are better since the mother market US is appreciating the favourable trends in the US economy after the brief disappointment with the cautious Fed message. It is evident that the US is heading for a soft landing and rate cuts are coming. Correction in the dollar index to 103 and the US 10-year falling to 3.88% may restrain the FIIs from selling.

The near-term risk in the market is the high valuation which can trigger corrections on some negative news. Expect high volatility in the near-term.

Pre-opening market comment by Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities

The bull market at Dalal Street is thriving, fueled by positive developments such as Wall Street’s surge, a 3% drop in WTI Oil prices, and the promising Interim Union Budget. With a focus on sectors like consumption, defense, railways, hotels, services, and electronics, the goal of India’s $5 trillion economy is in sight. Technical analyses suggest a potential FOMO-driven surge in Nifty to its all-time high, supported by favorable indicators. Bank Nifty outperformed, and stocks like SBI, BANK OF BARODA, and others show breakout potential. Q3 results are anticipated today. The preferred trade suggests buying Nifty and Bank Nifty, with bullish sentiments on INDIGO, STATE BANK OF INDIA, BANK OF BARODA, ADANI ENTERPRISES, and RBL BANK. The top stock to buy is INDIGO, with targets at 3100 and 3147, emphasizing a rebound play.

08:55:27 AM IST, 02 February 2024

Pre-market view by Avdhut Bagkar, Technical and Derivatives Analyst, StoxBox

The benchmark index had a gap opening of around 50 points in anticipation of the Union budget. With the zone near 21800 continuing to act as immediate overhead resistance, the price action succumbed to mild selling pressure after marking an intraday high of 21832. It closed marginally below 21700 in a volatile trading session on a relatively lower volume, while VIX plunged 9.9% intraday. With 20DMA now acting as immediate support, the index is anticipated to attract bullish strength on surfacing above the polarity resistance near 21800 decisively on a closing basis.

Market View | Auto Jan sales review

The overall auto wholesales have registered an increase in volumes in January 2024 on a monthly basis. The recovery appears to have been significantly high in the passenger vehicles (PV) segment due to a low base, strong growth in SUV volumes, and a revival in the entry-level segment for Maruti. Post the festive season, the OEMs had focused on cutting down dealer inventory in November and December, and hence there was adequate room to replenish dealer stock from January 2024 onwards. Two-wheeler OEMs showed robust growth owing to the premiumization trend and an uptick in rural sales driven by the wedding season. On the other hand, the CV wholesales have declined across OEMs primarily due to the underperformance of the MHCV segment. The Red Sea issue impacted the export performance across all OEMs, except for Maruti Suzuki. The shipments to Europe have been impacted more than the shipments to the Americas. Further, several OEMs have announced price hikes effective from January-February 2024, citing an increase in input costs which we believe would be absorbed as demand in the higher-end segment is relatively better and entry-level products are supported by promotional schemes.
