MOIL Surges on Record Sales, HDFC Bank Hits All-Time High, V-Mart Retail Soars.

Technical Overview – Nifty 50

One more day, one more All-Time high, bullish trend for the benchmark index appears to be continuing. The index gapped open and closed around the rising channel’s upper band. The index produced a DOJI candlestick during the session and was fairly sideways.

The benchmark index’s upward trend has been confirmed by the momentum indicator RSI (14) which has closed above the 71 level and is still rising. The benchmark index’s momentum appears to be drying up constituent volumes.

Because the MACD is rising and above its polarity on a daily time frame, the upward trend should continue. The increase in breadth for equities in the index above the 100-day moving average (100SMA) was confirmed, going from 78% to 84%.

At the 24,200 level, where put writing is nearly 70 lakhs contract, a base formation may occur based on benchmark index OI data. Resistance may occur at 24,300, the call writing contract’s approximate value of 90 lakhs. 1.08 is the PCR value for the benchmark index.

At 24,150 and 24,000 and 24,400 and 24,500, respectively, are the support and resistance levels for the upcoming sessions.

Technical Overview – Bank Nifty

On July 3, the benchmark index had strong bullish momentum that resulted in a new all-time high of 53,257. Index increased by about 2% in the first hour of trading and then steadied for the rest of the session. On a daily basis, the index created a bullish long-legged candlestick. 

In the previous session, the index found outstanding support at 10-DEMA and rose from there. The momentum indicator RSI (14) is showing a concealed positive divergence on a 125-minute period. The daily time-frame index has broken and closed above a horizontal resistance. Given that the MACD is rising and above its polarity on a daily timeframe, the upward trend should continue. The fact that the index is above each major DEMA adds extra support to the general bullishness. 

The resistance and support levels for the upcoming sessions are 52,500, 52,700 for resistance and 52,450, 52,000 for support.
