Sensex Today | Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas



Nifty opened gap down today and after the initial volatility it drifted lower during the course of the day and closed around the lows for the day. It closed in the red down ~234 points. On the daily charts we can observe that the Nifty has breached and closed below the lows of the previous three trading sessions which indicates weakness. We believe that the Index is in the process of retracing the rise it has witnessed from 22710 – 22776, and has been consolidating thereafter. The next crucial support level stands at 22370. On the upside 22620 – 22650 shall act as an immediate hurdle from short term perspective.

Bank Nifty also witnessed some corrections after touching high of 49000 in the previous trading session. The crucial support level stands at 48300 and below that 47820. The immediate hurdle is placed at 49000.

Sensex Today | Ajit Mishra, SVP - Technical Research, Religare Broking

Markets traded under pressure and lost over a percent, tracking feeble global cues. The tone was negative from the beginning and pressure in the heavyweights across sectors pushed the index lower as the day progressed. Eventually, the Nifty index settled around the day’s low at 22,519.40 level. All sectors faced the heat wherein pharma, FMCG and banking were among the top losers. Meanwhile, the broader indices showed resilience and lost nearly half a percent each.

Nifty has been facing resistance around the 22,700-22,800 zone and pressure in the US markets is adding to the worries. Apart from the global cues, the reaction of the IT majors to TCS numbers would set the tone on Monday. We are eyeing the 22,350-22,500 zone to offer a cushion in case profit-taking extends. Meanwhile, we suggest keeping a check on leveraged positions and preferring hedged trades.

Sensex Today | Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities

The market had been building up hope of a three-rate cut by the US Fed this fiscal year, but the recent higher inflation reading has mellowed the expectations, which would mean that the wait for rate cut would be longer than expected. Hence the sell-off in the Indian markets was a knee-jerk reaction to the rising inflation and fading hopes of a rate cut in the near future.

A sharp rise in crude oil prices and rupee's downward spiral also dampened the sentiment and contributed to the overall slump. While the Indian economy is on a firm footing, the spate of negative news, especially from the global front, would at times halt the Indian equities upward march.

Technically, bulls will heave a sigh of relief only above the 22800 mark. Till then, it seems a bear machete is likely to rule the roost. Benchmark Nifty has a strong support at 22339-22101 levels, while the index faces resistance at 22810 to 23100 level.

Sensex Today | Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares

At the record levels, Index has formed a Shooting star (weekly chart) candlestick pattern with a possible bearish divergence in RSI which indicates a temporary pause in the strong uptrend. A zone of 22,340-22,370 will offer strong support while the immediate resistance is placed at 22,700. BankNifty replicates Nifty50 with a Gravestone DOJI candlestick pattern (ICICI Bank- anticipating a Pennant & Pole Breakout, IDFC First Bank- Flag and Pole Breakout).

With a strong rally, the Metal sector has performed as per our expectations and we continue to remain bullish. Selling in the frontline Pharma stocks dragged the sector lower to form a bearish engulfing pattern; however, there is no sign of a reversal yet.

A Shooting Star candlestick pattern in the Realty sector suggests a short-term reversal. Investors must keep an eye on the Chemical stocks as strong breakouts were witnessed and we have identified a few of them: Aarti Industries and Deepak Nitrite- Rounding Bottom Breakout, Jubilant Ingrevia- Symmetrical Triangle Breakout, Navin Fluorine- Inverted Head & Shoulder Breakout.

The BankNifty index experienced significant selling pressure, marking a return of bearish momentum after a prolonged period. The index is currently facing strong resistance at the 49,000 mark, and only a decisive close above this level could revive the upward trend towards the 50,000 mark.

Immediate support for the index is established at 48,000, where the highest open interest on the put side has been observed. A breach below this level could intensify the selling pressure.

The rupee weakened by 0.19 to 83.40 as concerns over the effects of a potential Middle East conflict weighed on global currencies. The dollar index rose to 105.35, leading to weakness in all currencies, including the rupee. Despite this, the strength of the Indian economy is expected to support the rupee. As a result, the rupee is likely to experience sideways movement with increased volatility, maintaining a range between 83.15-83.55.

Sensex Today | Anuj Choudhary Research Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas



Indian Rupee depreciated 0.23% on Friday on strong US dollar and weak domestic markets. Domestic markets fell by ~0.8% today. However, FII inflows and some containment in geopolitical tensions in the Middle East cushioned the downside. US Dollar rose to a 5-month high over the past two days on hot inflation. Headline and core inflation topped forecast, leading to diminishing expectations of a rate cut by the US Federal Reserve in June. Hawkish FOMC meeting minutes also supported the greenback.

We expect Rupee to trade with a slight negative bias on weak global equities amid hawkish US data and surge in global crude oil prices. positive tone in the US Dollar may further pressurise the Rupee. However, FII inflows may support Rupee at lower levels.

Traders may take cues from India’s inflation and IIP data. Traders may also take cues from Michigan consumer sentiment and inflation expectations data from the US. USDINR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 83.10 to Rs 83.70.

Brent crude futures climbed 75 cents, or 0.84%, to $90.49 a barrel by 0630 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 87 cents, or 1.02%, to $85.89.

April 12, 2024· 12:16 IST

Sensex Today | Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities

Despite 100% OFS, Bharti Hexacom listed above street estimates. Healthy listing is justified after receiving solid response on the last day of its issue biding wherein QIB (48.57x) and NII (10.51x) investors looked more aggressive to grab midcap telecommunication growth story followed by muted retail investors interest who bided only 2.81 times to the allotted quota. Overall it got oversubscribed by 29.87x.

Long term investors got a great opportunity to hold mid-cap telecommunications solutions providers and to play long term India’s telecom structural ARPU growth story. Furthermore, Bharti Hexacom’s anchor book showcases top global investors such as Capital Group, Fidelity, Blackrock, and ADIA participating ahead of the opening of the IPO which give all other investors more comforts to block money for long term.

On valuation at CMP Rs 821 it is matching the listed peers and even trading on premium to its parent. Hence, considering all the parameters we recommend allotted investors to “HOLD” the Bharti Hexacom Ltd for Long term perspective only while those investors who wish to add on the listing days can wait and watch the space post listing performance and accumulate on dips.
