4th June end of day
#NIFTY analysis for 5th June
Another grueling day for
#NIFTY traders, but this time for the directional ones
1. Nifty opened gap down, immediately took support at 23250 and ground its way up to a previous resistance of 23450-460.
2. To further compound misery of option buyers,
#NIFTY Futures were lagging Nifty spot throughout the day. This meant that Nifty call premiums were not increasing when Nifty was going up. Even at EoD , while Nifty closed up a royal 11 points, Nifty futures closed in the red (-4 ).
In summary, today's trading range was entirely within yesterday. This narrow range accompanied by a dip of 2.5 pct in VIX meant that option buyers had a poor day especially in
#SENSEX which had a weekly expiry today.
So, while yesterday's bullish undertone was not lost, nothing was gained either. Towards the end of the day. we did see a spike in call premiums but treat this as an observation at best for now.
Let's look at data inputs available as of end of day today
1. Change in OI is neutral. No clear trend seen here as FIIs sold equal number of calls / puts. Pros bought equal number of calls and puts. However, outstanding OI for both FII and Pro traders remains largely bearish. The sell figures for FIIs in futures and cash continue to be negative.
2. Price Action - As pointed out yesterday, Bank Nifty had a follow up day on its positive price action confirming the bullish hammer. Nifty closed slightly above the dragonfly doji but this cannot be construed as a confirmation yet. In summary, price action can be considered neutral to positive going into tomorrow.
3. External factors
a) Positive news coming through on the US- Iran war front (for the nth time) with Trump signaling progress on peace talks. Crude has dipped as a result. Can be construed as positive
b) RBI Event - This may be the game changer for giving us a trendy market tomorrow. While the expectation is of a non-event, it will be worth tuning into the RBI Governor speech at 10 AM IST. If there is no change to interest rates, the tone of Gov speech is not very hawkish and there is relief provided via any regulatory step(s), Bank Nifty will rally and give Nifty the opportunity to cause a good short covering rally. (All stars have to align). However, if there is any increase in interest rates which is highly unlikely or any hawkish note for inflation in his speech, we may see a bloodbath in the markets.
Trading Plan for tomorrow
1. Wait till 10:30 am (or end of Governor speech) before committing to any trade. Markets may be volatile at the open, prior to and during the speech.
Once a trend is observed, will trade in direction of the trade. For me, immediate Nifty target is 23800 and 24000 which may be taken out tomorrow itself if the global cues remain positive and supported by the RBI Gov speech. I will book my positional trades partially at 23800 and rest at 24000. I continue to trade with a positive bias as explained in earlier posts on X.
2. Below, 23150, I will wait for negative price action and take bearish trades with targets of 23000 and below. I will be looking at Bank Nifty for cues tomorrow in order to establish a trend.
3. If we open Gap Up, will do nothing and wait till 10:30 am and decide on levels based on price action. May book partial profits for ongoing positional trades if we open at 23800 by any chance.
For Gap Down, again will do nothing and wait for 10:30 am and trade per price action. Key levels for Nifty shown below.
Note: All of the above is my own analysis and trading plan for Nifty and other indices, this should not be construed as trading advice in any manner.
