Will Nifty rise above 19000 or sink further in trade- See GIFT Nifty, FII data, crude, more before market opens

GIFT Nifty traded up 48 points or 0.25% at 19,005.5, indicating a positive opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Friday. Previously on Thursday, the NSE Nifty 50 tanked 264.90 points or 1.39% to settle at 18,857.25, while the BSE Sensex shed as much as 900.91 points or 1.41% to 63,148.15.

“In the backdrop of weak global cues, investors shunned local equities at will on the monthly F&O expiry day with benchmark Nifty closing below the crucial 19k mark amid sell-off in frontline banking, automobile and IT stocks. Investors are worried about the simmering West Asia conflict, economic uncertainty and rate hike woes, and hence maintained their bearish stance for the sixth straight session,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities.

“Technically, a bearish candle on daily charts and weak intraday formation is indicating further weakness from the current levels. As long as the index is trading below 19,000, the weak sentiment is likely to continue till 18,800-18,725 levels. On the flip side, one relief rally is possible only after the dismissal of 19,000 and above the same, the index could move up till 19,100-19,150,” Shrikant Chouhan added.

Technical View

Commenting on the technical outlook of Nifty 50, Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, said, “Once again, bears remain at the helm as the Nifty slipped below 19,000 for the first time in four months, indicating a rising bearish condition. The bearish crossover in the momentum indicator also supports the negative momentum. In the current scenario, supports are appearing very fragile and vulnerable. Despite the recent sharp decline, further correction from the current level seems highly possible. Support on the lower end is visible at 18,600-18,645, while resistance is positioned at 18,950-19,000.”

Bank Nifty Outlook

On Thursday, the Bank Nifty index tumbled as much as 551.85 points or 1.29% to 42,280.15. “Bank Nifty is heading towards the psychological support of the 42,000. The fall has been very sharp and is appearing oversold which increases the probability of a pullback. The pullback can be expected till 42,500 – 42,600 however it is unlikely to result into a trend reversal. Overall, the trend is negative and we expect it to target levels of 40,850 from short term perspective,” said Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
