15:45 (IST) 13 Oct 2022 US inflation data may cause volatility in global market

“Retail inflation persisting above the desired levels has been a major cause of concern for the Indian economy. This, coupled with declining industrial production in August may not be taken well by the market because Indian economy is anticipated to sustain its resilience. In this backdrop, the impending US inflation figures, which are forecasted to remain high, may cause volatility in the global market.”

07:53 (IST) 13 Oct 2022 Bank Nifty resistance at 40000

“Technically Nifty has formed a bullish candle in the daily chart, as it closed above 17100, an important Fibonacci level. The overall structure shows that the index is likely to witness consolidation and short term buying in the range of 17000-17300. Once it sustains 17340 levels we can expect a rally till 17500 levels in coming days. Indicators such as RSI and MACD are showing some strength to lead towards upside in the daily chart. On the other hand, Bank nifty has support at 38500 levels while resistance is placed at 40000.” ~Om Mehra, Technical associate, Choice Broking

07:51 (IST) 13 Oct 2022 Nifty support at 17064

“Nifty made a near double bottom on Oct 12 compared to the previous session.

“Monthly support for Nifty50 is seen at 16580. We remain relatively stronger as compared to global markets. Medium-term setup also continues to remain positive for now. From the frontline sectors, we believe IT space looks attractive while Private banking is expected to consolidate.

· Monthly setup continues to remain positive

· Broader market sentiment remains positive while momentum is lacking

· FII and PRO have witnessed net short addition in the options segment

· For Nifty, maximum OI buildup seen at 17000 Put and 17100/17200 Call Option. For Bank-Nifty, maximum OI buildup is seen at 38500 put and 39000/39500 call options.

07:40 (IST) 13 Oct 2022 Nifty may head towards 17275

“Bears took a breather today as markets witnessed a relief rally after getting hammered in the past few sessions. However, the recovery doesn’t seem to be sustainable as multiple negative factors are at play. Technically, the Nifty took support near the 200-day SMA (Simple Moving Average) and bounced back sharply. As long as the index is trading above 17000 mark, the pullback formation is likely to continue. Above the same, the index may touch the level of 17225-17275. On the flip side, below 17000, the index could slip till 16900.”~Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities Ltd

07:38 (IST) 13 Oct 2022 Stay light in prevailing scenario, keep existing positions

“Markets rebounded on Wednesday after the recent slide and gained nearly a percent amid mixed cues. After the initial uptick, Nifty drifted lower in the early hours however recovery in select index majors across sectors gradually pushed the index higher as the session progressed. It finally settled around the day’s high to close at 17,123.6 levels. We feel it’s just a respite in a corrective phase and the tone would remain negative until Nifty decisively reclaims 17,400 levels. Amid all, the buoyancy in the banking space is capping the damage so far while others are seeing a mixed trend. We feel it’s prudent to stay light in the prevailing scenario and keep the existing positions hedged.”~Ajit Mishra, VP – Research, Religare Broking

07:35 (IST) 13 Oct 2022 Nifty must sustain above 17260 for more upside

“The short-term trend of Nifty is range bound with positive bias. The market is now making an attempt to form a short-term higher bottom formation around 16950 levels. A sustainable move above the hurdle of 17260 levels could confirm more upside for the near term. Immediate support is placed at 16950 levels.”~Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities
