Outlook for July 14
Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking
Markets traded under pressure on Friday and lost over half a percent, dragged down by weak cues. The session began on a negative note following disappointing results from IT major TCS, which further worsened due to profit-taking in heavyweight stocks across other sectors.
On the sectoral front, all key indices ended in the red, except the defensives—FMCG and pharma. IT, auto, and realty were among the top losers. The broader indices also came under pressure, each declining by nearly a percent.
Sentiment remained subdued due to ongoing uncertainty around tariff-related issues and a weak start to the earnings season. As a result, the Nifty slipped below its first line of defense—the 20-day exponential moving average (20-DEMA)—disrupting the ongoing positive trend. We may now see a phase of consolidation in the index, with upcoming earnings keeping volatility high across sectors. In this environment, traders should exercise greater caution, focus on risk management, and be selective while identifying trading opportunities.

The Nifty continues to remain weak as the index slipped below the previous swing low on the hourly chart. Additionally, it has fallen below the 21 EMA on the daily timeframe.
Momentum also remains weak in the short term, with the RSI in a negative crossover. However, after the recent decline, the index has approached the support of the 200-hourly moving average.
A move above 25,150-25,160 in the initial trading hour could trigger a rally towards 25,250 and 25,400. On the downside, support is placed at 25,090 and 24,900.
