The Nifty 50 index continued its bullish stance and formed a small bodied bullish candle with long lower shadow which indicates that declines are being bought. Amid mixed global cues, the Indian stock market indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open higher on Tuesday.
Chandan Taparia, Head – Equity Derivatives and Technicals, Broking and Distribution, MOFSL noted that the derivatives data and price set up suggests, Nifty has to hold above 22,400 zones for an up move towards 22,550 then 22,700 zones whereas supports are placed at 22,350 then 22,222 zones.
“India VIX is near 20 levels. Volatility is still hovering at its nineteen month high and creating swings in the market. VIX needs to fall below 16-18 zones for stability and smoother ride in the market. Volatility is increasing ahead of the election phases which could cause a bumpy ride in the market for the time being,” Taparia said.
According to him, option data suggests a broader trading range in between 22,000 to 23,000 zones while an immediate range between 22,300 to 22,600 levels.
Meanwhile, Bank Nifty managed to hold support near 47,000 zones and reclaimed its 50 DEMA. Now it has to continue to hold above 47,777 zones for a bounce towards 48,250 then 48,500 zones, he added. Support for Bank Nifty is seen at 47,777 and 47,500 levels.
