Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst, LKP Securities

Nifty remained volatile throughout the day before closing flat. The sentiment is sideways to weak, with the index closing below the 21-day EMA. The RSI is in a bearish crossover, indicating weak momentum. The market might continue to be a sell-on-rise as long as it stays below 24,500. On the lower end, support is placed at 24,150.

Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking

The markets started the week on a volatile note due to mixed signals but ended largely unchanged. After an initial decline, the Nifty experienced sharp fluctuations in both directions, ultimately settling at the 24,347 level. Sectoral trends were mixed, with realty and metal sectors posting gains, while FMCG and energy sectors ended in the red. Notably, the broader indices outperformed the benchmark, closing slightly in the green.

Nifty struggled to maintain its position above the short-term moving average resistance of the 20-day EMA at 24,400, primarily due to pressure from select heavyweight stocks. This trend may persist until we see a more decisive movement in banking majors. In the meantime, traders should avoid aggressive long positions and stick to a hedged approach. In addition to earnings reports, the focus will be on global markets for further cues.

Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities

The Hindenburg allegations now against a key official of the market regulator weighed on the sentiment in early trades, but indices recovered soon to trade higher only to give away all their gains towards the close to end marginally lower on selective profit taking. In case the row heats up further, it could impact sentiment going ahead and profit taking could continue, although global cues would still determine the broader market mood.

Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities

Today, the benchmark indices witnessed volatile trading session, the nifty ends 21 points lower while the Sensex was down by 57 points. Among Sectors, Reality index outperformed rallied over 1.35 percent whereas Media index shed nearly 2 percent. Technically, after early morning intraday selloff the market took the support near 24200/79200 and bounce back sharply. However, it failed to close above 24400/79850 resistance zone.

We are of the view that, the current intraday market texture is non-directional hence level based trading would be the ideal strategy for the day traders. For the bulls, 24400/79850 would be immediate breakout zone. Above the same, market could move up to 24500-24550/80100-80400. On the flip side, below 24300/79500 the sentiment could change. Below the same market could retest the level of 24200-24170/79200-79000.

Aditya Gaggar Director of Progressive Shares

Indian markets started the session on a tepid note followed by a steep recovery. After a rangebound mid-session, a sudden fall in the last session dragged the Index lower to end the session at 24,347 with a loss of 20.50 points.

Realty was the top gainer among the sectors followed by Metal; and on the flip side, Media and PSU Banks were the major laggards. Mid and Smallcaps held their recovery gains and outperformed the Frontline Index.

After testing the higher end of a consolidation, the Index has formed a long legged Diji candlestick pattern. A firm close above the 24,450-24,470 zone is a must to resume its uptrend while the lower side seems to be protected at 24,200.

August 12, 2024· 15:46 IST

Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services

The Indian market concluded relatively flat, with its initial path being eclipsed by continuation of the Adani-Hindenburg-SEBI saga. However, the market tried to brush away these noises, taking positive cues from global markets. Moreover, the domestic market is anticipating ease in CPI inflation, which is going to be further supported by a good monsoon. Yet, the upside risk remains, given firm oil prices and volatility in food inflation.

IPO News | Unicommerce eSolutions likely to make stellar listing: Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth, Swastika Investmart

Unicommerce eSolutions, a leading e-commerce enablement SaaS platform, is set for a strong market entry. The IPO garnered overwhelming investor interest, with a massive subscription of 168.35 times and a robust grey market premium (GMP) currently at Rs 69 (63.89%).

The company's strong market position, diversified client base, and proven track record of profitable growth position it well for future expansion. However, competitive pressures, negative cash flows, and operational dependencies on third-party service providers pose challenges. Additionally, the IPO's aggressive valuation at a P/E of 84x warrants cautious optimism.

Despite these factors, the company's strong fundamentals, coupled with the overwhelming investor response, indicate a potential for a stellar listing.

Spot USDINR to trade between 83.75-84.25: Anuj Choudhary – Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas

Indian Rupee declined on a positive tone in the US Dollar and a surge in crude oil prices. However, positive domestic markets cushioned the downside.

We expect Rupee to trade with a slight negative bias on strength in the US Dollar and rising global crude oil prices. Selling pressure from foreign investors and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East may further pressurise the Rupee. However, positive global markets may support Rupee at lower levels.

Traders may take cues from India’s CPI and IIP data. Investors may remain cautious ahead of US CPI, retail sales and consumer confidence data from the US this week. USDINR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 83.75 to Rs 84.25.
