“As the upward momentum in US stocks came to a halt, we foresee a day characterized by limited market movement. The Sensex has edged up by 31 points, reaching 65,961, while the Nifty remains relatively flat with a modest 20-point positive change at 19,800. Nifty has sustained its positive momentum, reaching the 19800 levels today. The Nifty 19800 Call strike has demonstrated significant open interest (OI), holding approximately 110 lakh shares. On the Put side, the 19700 strikes have maintained a substantial OI of approximately 80 lakh shares.

In Bank Nifty, the 43800 Call strike has sustained meaningful OI, accounting for about 45 lakh shares. Conversely, on the Put side, the 43500 strike has retained a substantial OI of around 38 lakh shares. Going ahead, we expect 44000 is likely to serve as immediate resistance for Bank Nifty.”

09:37 (IST) 22 Nov 2023 Broader outlook

“The uptrend in the market is intact with global support coming from the easing US bond yields. The US 10-year bond yield at 4 percent is a strong pillar of support for equity markets. Resilience in large-caps like RIL, Bharti and HDFC Bank can continue to support the uptrend. An important market technique is that the daily market range is getting narrower. This may preclude sharp moves in the market. Today the focus of the market will be on the opening of the four IPOs. Lot of money is likely to go into the high quality Tata Technology IPO. Investors can continue to accumulate high quality large-caps, particularly in banking and autos where the margin of safety is high,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

09:26 (IST) 22 Nov 2023 USD-INR

“The USD/INR 28 November futures contract exhibited a narrow trading range. According to the daily technical chart, the pair is currently trading above its moving average trend-line support at 83.22, with the RSI holding above the 50-level mark. While the MACD indicates positive divergence, the pair is encountering significant resistance at higher levels. The daily technical chart highlights support at 83.22-83.05 and resistance at 83.50-83.66. For a potential upward move, it’s crucial for the pair to sustain levels above 83.35, signalling potential strength towards the 83.50-83.66 range. Conversely, a breakdown below the support levels of 83.22-83.05 could indicate weakness. We recommend vigilant monitoring of the 83.22-83.38 levels before initiating fresh positions in the pair. A breakout on either side of this range could provide clearer directional cues for traders,” said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities.

Subscribe ratings are assigned to Tata Technologies, IREDA, and Fedbank Financial Services IPOs. Preferred trades involve Nifty, Bank Nifty, and bullish outlooks for select stocks. PI Industries is recommended for immediate consideration. The finance ministry’s October report underscores ongoing inflationary risks,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities.
