India VIX is up 7% on Friday as domestic stock markets come under a bear attack. The volatility gauge was above 13 levels and nearing 14.
Sensex is down over 300 points or 0.60% while the Nifty 50 is holding above 16,400 but down 0.73%.
Equity benchmarks concluded weekly derivative expiry session on a subdued note amid elevated global volatility. Meanwhile, Sensex clocked a fresh all time high and surpassed 56000 during the session. The Nifty settled Wednesday’s session at 16569, down 0.3%. In the coming session, the index is likely to witness a gap down opening tracking weak global cues. We expect intraday pullback to remain short lived. Hence use intraday pullback towards 16460-16485 to create short position for target of 16373.Key point to highlight is that over past three weeks’ index has rallied 1188 points that hauled weekly stochastic oscillator in overbought territory (at 92), indicating couple of days’ breather from here on cannot be ruled out. However, such breather should be capitalised to accumulate quality stocks as we believe, strong support is placed at 16100 levels. We believe, breather from hereon would make market healthy and pave the way towards 16900 in coming month as it is 161.8% extension of mid-June rally (15450-15962) projected from July high of 15962.

“Nifty 50 technical supports are placed at 16530 and 16450 while resistances are at 16700 and 16740 levels,” said Standard Chartered Securities.
Our advice is to remain cautious and wait for Nifty to close above 16600 levels for building aggressive long positions. On the lower side 16300-16200 level will act as immediate support where Puts have been written.

Nifty has bounced above 16,500 as the benchmark index continues to trim opening losses. Sensex was nearing in on 55,500.
“Nifty 50 bounced back from our support area (16,400-16,360). 16,500 Put writers supporting the market,” said Rahul Sharma, Director & Head – Research, JM Financial.
The day long decline on Wednesday, after testing 16700, suggest that the negative divergences that we had discussed multiple times early this week, may have become less potent now. This allows Nifty to attempt a recovery early today, aiming 16425. The 17130 view remains intact, but with 16550 and other challenges lying ahead, we would not get ahead of ourselves at this point. That said, the ongoing down-move can easily stretch till at least 15970, and we are attempting only a reversal play today. However, the favoured view seeks to look for any decline in momentum in 16425-550 region on the bounce, or a direct fall below 15260 to put that downside objective in play.
