After Monday’s fall, there was some respite, but volatility picked up in the next two days. The S&P BSE Sensex rose 66 points while the Nifty50 closed flat at 11691 on June 19.
Even though benchmark indices closed flat-to-higher, big carnage was seen in individual stocks largely from the broader market space. The S&P BSE Midcap and Smallcap both ended with losses of 0.7 percent and 1.4 percent respectively.
If Nifty crosses above 11,750 levels, a bounce-back towards 11,820 and then possibly 11,870 levels can be expected. On the downside, the market has support at 11,590 levels which is the top of the rising gap. A break below this can take the index towards 11,425 filling the gap area.
In Nifty options, maximum open interest for Put is seen at strike price 11,500 followed by 11,700 while for Call maximum open interest is seen at 12,000 followed by 11,900. Put writing was seen in 11,700 and 11,500 along with Call writing in 11,700.
