Nifty forms large bearish candle, may breach 11,661

Positional traders should short rallies in the 11,790–11,850 zone and look for a bigger target of 11,520 with a stop above 11,900 on a closing basis. The Nifty50 wiped out almost all last week gains and closed below 11, 800 on October 26 as a correction was seen across sectors barring FMCG, which ended flat. The rising coronavirus infections in the US and Europe along with a delay in the American stimulus package dented sentiment. After opening flat at 11,937.40, the Nifty50 hit an intraday high of 11,942.85 but immediately slipped to touch the day's low of 11,711.70. The index closed at 11,767.80, down 162.60 points or 1.36 percent. The index formed a large bearish candle on the daily charts as closing was much lower than opening levels. More than two shares declined for every share rising on the NSE. The Nifty midcap and smallcap indices were down 1.7 percent and 1 percent. The selling pressure amid volatility may continue if the index breaks its recent corrective swing l...

Initiate a Bull Call Spread as Bank Nifty may see upmove towards 25,000

The maximum profit of 190 points could be gained if the Bank Nifty expires at or above 25,000. Markets regained control after pausing in the previous week and witnessed a tug of war between the bulls and the bears. During the week, the Nifty traded in a range of merely 240 points. It also formed a Spinning Top candlestick pattern on the weekly scale, which indicates indecisiveness among participants. The index faced stiff resistance at 12,000 and made multiple attempts unsuccessful attempts to go past it. We reiterate that 12,000 is an extension of the rising trend line, which has acted as a supply zone for the markets in the past couple of weeks. Only a close above 12,000 will bring the bulls back, propelling the index towards a life high. A breach of 11,800 can intensify the panic in the market, pulling the index down to 11,600 levels. The momentum indicators and oscillators have reached the overbought territory on the daily chart and profit booking at higher levels can't be rule...
