Maximum call open interest (OI) of 32.18 lakh contracts was seen at the 11,200 strike price. This will act as a crucial resistance level for July series.
After opening higher Wednesday the Nifty50 made multiple attempts to move near its earlier record high amid rangebound trade but failed due to selling pressure. The index ended flat with a negative bias ahead of the expiry of July derivative contracts, forming bearish candle on the daily candlestick charts, which also resembles ‘Spinning Top’ kind of pattern.
Spinning Top is often regarded as a neutral pattern which suggests indecisiveness on the part of both bulls as well as bears. It can be formed in an uptrend as well as in a downtrend.
The Nifty Midcap index also ended flat while the sectoral trend was mixed. The 30-share BSE Sensex managed to end at record closing high again, rising 33.13 points to 36,858.23.
“Nifty50 continued its consolidation phase for second day in a row as it signed off the session with an indecisive formation, forming small bearish candle which also resembles Spinning Top after moving in a 44-point narrow range ahead of the expiry session,” Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research & Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in told Moneycontrol.
According to him, a major move in either of the directions can be expected in next couple of trading sessions as we head for a fresh F&O series.
He said on the downsides it looks critical for the indices to sustain above 11,000 as a close below this level may usher in a short term pressure on the markets. “For time being upsides may get capped in the zone of 11,150–11,171 unless market witnesses a strong upswing beyond 11,171. In such a scenario initial target of around 11,250 can be expected.”
Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Senior Technical Analyst, Sharekhan said the index posted a negative daily close after three consecutive positive sessions. “Nevertheless, overall Technical outlook continues to be in favour of the bulls.”
Once the key hurdle of 11,171 gets taken out, the benchmark index can march towards 11,450 in the short term, he said, adding on the downside, 11,030-11,020 shall act as a key support zone for any minor degree dip.
India VIX fell by 1.18 percent at 12.32 levels. VIX has been falling down from last five sessions and decline in with rising Put Call Ratio suggests that Put writers have taken the market in their tight grip.
