Dear Trader…

The markets extended Wednesday’s rebound on the weekly expiry day, ending with modest gains. The session began on a subdued note, but selective buying in heavyweights triggered a gradual recovery in the first half, followed by a range-bound phase until the close. Ultimately, the Nifty future index settled at 23263.70, up 0.28%.

Sectoral trends were mixed, with IT and pharma sectors closing higher, while banking and energy remained subdued. After two consecutive days of decline, the broader indices also saw a breather, gaining between 1% and 1.7%.

The recovery in IT majors has been the primary driver of the index’s rebound, with other sectors providing rotational support. However, we recommend not reading too much into this bounce and sticking with a “sell on rise” strategy for the Nifty index. At the same time, stock-specific opportunities remain plentiful across sectors, so participants should focus on maintaining balanced positions on both sides.

Nifty futures opened at 23150 points against the previous close of 23198 and opened at a low of 23126 points. Nifty Future closed with an average movement of 192 points and a rise of around 64 points and 23263 points…!!

Dear Trader…

The markets witnessed a volatile session following Tuesday’s sharp decline but managed to close with gains of nearly half a percent. After a flat opening, selling pressure persisted during the first half; however, resilience in IT majors and a recovery in select heavyweights helped trim losses and pushed the index into positive territory. As a result, the Nifty future index settled at 23,198.95, up by 0.41%.

The market has been trending lower week by week, and any intermediate pause or rebound should be viewed as a shorting opportunity unless the Nifty decisively breaches the resistance zone of 23,303-23,373. On the stock-specific front, the ongoing earnings season is presenting opportunities on both sides of the trade, so traders are advised to align their positions accordingly. Additionally, it is prudent to exercise extra caution in the midcap and smallcap segments and avoid averaging into losing trades.”

Nifty futures opened at 23164.00 points against the previous close of 23103.20 and opened at a low of 23020 points. Nifty Future closed with an average movement of 199.90 points and a rise of around 95.75 points and 23198.95 points…!!
