The Nifty fell for the second straight session amid Israel-Iran crisis to close at 22,273 on April 15. After gap-down opening of 180-odd points, the benchmark index attempted the recovery during the day but failed to sustain at higher levels. The Nifty closed near day’s low with more than 1 percent loss. Its cash market volumes dipped a bit from Friday's level.
Declining shares outnumbered the advancing shares as advance decline ratio stood at 0.31 on the BSE, lowest since March 13, 2024.
Short-term trend in the Nifty turned bearish as it is placed below its 5, 11 and 20 DMAs (day moving average). Moreover, negative divergence of RSI-14 (relative strength index) is observed on daily and weekly timeframe.
In the derivatives, the Nifty Open Interest Put Call ratio fell sharply to 0.81-odd level on the back of aggressive Call writing at 22,400-22,500 levels. Moreover 5 and 11-day EMA (exponential moving average) are placed at 22,484 and 22,455, suggesting on the upside, the 22,400-22,500 level would act as a very strong resistance. Therefore, traders are advised to exit in long positions and wait for the Nifty to close above the 22,500 levels for creating fresh longs.
On the downside, support for the Nifty is seen in the range of 22,100-22,150, where the 50-day EMA and super trend indicator levels are placed. Far support for the Nifty is placed at 21,880 and 21,700 levels.
