The Nifty is trading sideways where it is facing resistance at 16,400 level, however, 16,100-16,000 is a strong demand zone. If we look at the open interest data, then there is the highest open interest build-up at the 16,000 strike Put option therefore bulls will try to defend 16,000 mark. But if Nifty slips below 16,000 level then we can expect a selling pressure towards 15,800-15,700 zone.
On the upside, if the Nifty manages to take out 16,400 resistance level then we can expect a short-covering rally towards 16,700 level.
Bank Nifty is outperforming, however, 34,800-35,000 is a critical supply zone; above this, we can expect a short-covering rally towards 36,000 mark. On the downside, 34,000-33,900 is an immediate demand zone and 34,000 strike Put option is holding the highest open interest. Therefore, we can expect a bounceback from here while if it slips below 33,900 level then we can expect selling pressure 33,300-33,000 zone.
Overall structure looks bullish but there is a sharp rise in India VIX which indicates that the market is expecting a large swing in either direction. The direction of the global market will be important ahead of Fed minutes and Jerom Powell's speech.
