The FIIs continued to buy yesterday in the cash market while DIIs are still selling. Economic reality in India is not in the focus right now. Global liquidity and FIIs buying is holding up the market for now. DIIs and large proprietary traders are holding short positions in the derivative markets while FIIs have reduced their long position.
How will Nifty perform today?
Markets rose strongly yesterday from Fridays’ fall. However, the volumes in both Nifty 50 and Nifty 500 stocks were lower than Friday. Asian and SGX Nifty indicates that the Nifty may open flat today. Market could pause and consolidate today and tomorrow.
NIFTY -Technical Bias: Sideways

Nifty price action:
Nifty and Bank Nifty strongly reversed after they broke down from the support levels on Friday. However technically indices have not negated the breakdown yet. Therefore, I expect couple of days of sideways coil before moving in either of the direction. A follow-on bullish candle today will cancel the break down and the technical bias will become bullish. Therefore, traders need to watch out for Nifty close above 11150 and Bank Nifty close above 21850 and accordingly adjust their option strategies/spreads.
Support: Immediate support exists at 10880
Resistance: 11150 K.

Trade Ideas:
Markets are likely to coil sideways. Hence range bound strategies are appropriate. I had to adjust my bear spread in to vertical ratios yesterday. Depending upon where the indices are likely to close today further adjustments is necessary.
