Nifty hits the new all-time high of 15,940 but hovering in the range 15,500-15,600 for past few weeks. The Bollinger Band squeeze indicates the bullish momentum could only trigger above 16,057. As per derivatives structure, 16000CE writers are still comfortable with new highs and unwinding can be expected above 16,050. Bank Nifty on the other hand has broken out of Bullish/Inverted Head & Shoulder followed by Cup & Handle pattern indicating the bulls are in control of Bank Nifty. The risk for Bank Nifty at current level is an addition of Open Interest to the tune of 62,000 in 36000CE (15th  July 2021 Expiry) totalling to 1.3L at 11:30 AM today. If these writers unwind positions, the short covering rally can be expected, else we might end the day within the range of 35,700-36,000 zone. Brijesh Bhatia, Senior Research Analyst Equitymaster

The Nifty is slowly inching towards the 15900 level. 15915 (the high recorded on 28 June 2021) is the precise level we need to close above. If the index manages to do that, we should be able to scale higher to 16100. The bias for the current market is on the upside and hence dips and corrections can be used to accumulate long positions. 15400 is good support and as long as we do not break that on a closing basis, we are in bullish terrain.

Domestically, equity markets are trading into the consolidation phase as both global and domestic cues are very much mixed. However, FII/FPIs seems booking their profits as they have sold almost INR 3670 crore worth of Indian stocks in July after whopping investments of more than INR 17,000 in June. Probably, easing the domestic COVID situation and IPO spree could limit the outflow. Now the focus shift towards today’s release of India’s June trade balance. After easing COVID restrictions up to some extent in June, both business activity and demand for goods have picked up well. Overall, we might see a jump in both the import and exports figures. Broadly, on account of higher oil import prices, the deficit is likely to remain elevated. On the fiscal front, this year also the deficit is likely to miss the target easily as the government is going the extra mile to support the economy. This could keep the Rupee on its toes and limit the appreciating move beyond 74.00 levels over the medium term. Amit Pabari, managing director, CR Forex Advisors

It has again reached closer to the upper band of its prevailing consolidation range i.e. 15,900 ahead of the weekly expiry. On Thursday, markets will first react to the earnings announcements of Infosys which came in after the market hours. Needless to say, a decisive breakout above 15,900 would help the index to inch higher, else we might again see the resumption of profit taking. Taking cues from the derivatives stats, 15,900 CE holds the OI of nearly 75k contracts and 16,000 CE having the OI of 80k. On the downside, 15,800 PE strike holds the highest OI of more than 81k contracts. This indicates we may see the weekly expiry closer to 15,900 levels. Ajit Mishra, VP – Research, Religare Broking

Nifty started the week marginally positive and managed to form a support base around the 15650 mark. During the week, initially call writers were aggressively forming positions at 15800 strike, but as the index surpassed that hurdle on Tuesday, they ran to cover their positions. Now, 15800 put has highest open interest indicating support level for the expiry day, while resistances are seen at 15900 followed by 16000. Further, FII’s have covered some of their shorts in last couple of days and also formed marginal longs. The data indicates probability of a rangebound expiry session with more stock specific action is likely to continue. One can keep a close eye on BANKNIFTY and if the index sustains above 35810 (spot level) for 5 – 10 mins, one can look to buy at-the-money CALL for BANKNIFTY, because this development will lead to a strong buying in the banking space.
