How will Nifty perform today?
Asian markets and SGX nifty indicate that market is likely to open in negative territory today and go on sideways with both FIIs and DIIs taking opposing position.
NIFTY -Technical Bias: Sideways
Nifty price action:
Nifty is back in the consolidation zone, therefore a break above 11300 is required to sustain the up move and break below 11050 is required for the index to go down further. The momentum is up because Nifty has sharply recovered from the fall and is consolidating. This could mean the index is gaining strength for further up move.
Support: 11050
Resistance: 11300.
Bank nifty's set up looks more decisive and a sharp move on either direction is possible. Although the price action looks biased to the downside, traders should also pay attention to continued FIIs buying, therefore down ward momentum will gain only if BN sustains below 21250 otherwise the chances of Bank nifty going up is higher.
Trade Ideas:
Markets are likely to continue to be in sideways coil. Hence range bound strategies are appropriate. Traders need to watch out for break on either side and adjust spreads accordingly.
