The Indian market witnessed massive pullback on October 12 in spite of weakness in the US market. Amidst a heavy volatility, Nifty managed to close with 1.5 percent gain in the week at 10,472.5.
Long unwinding in 10,400 call option of nearly 5.4 lakh contracts added fuel to the fire and strong short covering witnessed on the last day of the week and helped the Nifty to finally end the week lower by 333.9 points.
The short-covering rally could extend in this week as Nifty took support of rising trend line and formed a bullish candle on daily chart suggesting bulls could take it to 10,557 and even 10,610 which is 38.2 percent projection of previous week range.
Apart from this, derivatives data shows Put writing in 10,400 and 10,300 strike price with decent volumes which indicates support at a lower level. Whereas writing has been seen in 10,700 Call options suggesting limited upside. Bearish Engulfing pattern on the monthly chart with negative divergence suggests selling pressure could be seen on higher levels.
This move should be taken as relief rally and selling pressure at higher levels is likely. 10,610 and 10,750 will act as an important resistance while 10,297 and 10,130 as major support for the week.
Further damage till 9,950 is expected if support level breaks on the lower side. VIX trading at 18.62 indicates volatility could be lower as compared to last few sessions but still is a matter of concern.
The CPI data reported decent numbers at 3.77 percent in September followed by the same story in August at 3.69 percent, both within RBI's target of 4 percent.
Implying RBI will either restrain itself from raising the interest rates or keep it at the same level in the next meeting. This could be a positive indicator for the market and banks, and NBFCs are expected to benefit out of the same.
IIP growth stood at 4.3 percent from 4.8 percent a year ago, which is quite normal. Though all the other sectors performed very well, the decline in mining & capital goods sector has led to this offtake. Therefore, stay away from the mining sector this week.
The upcoming forex reserve data and performance of Brent crude in next week may provide clarity on whether rupee will stabilise. Further, a substantial decrease in crude prices and rupee appreciation in the week gone by may force a major pullback in the market.
However, the key events to watch out for, which may shape up the market are — WPI inflation data, PPI data of China, industrial production data of the US, RBI Forex Data.
