Outlook for July 6

Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Research (Retail), Kotak Securities

Investors traded with caution due to absence of any cues from US markets which were shut on Tuesday. Also, the market was already in an overbought zone due to the recent upsurge and hence selective profit-taking was on the cards.

Technically, as long as the index is trading between 19320 -19435 the narrow range activity is likely to continue. For bulls, 19435 would be the immediate breakout level. Above which, the market could rally till 19500-19525. However, below 19320 the selling pressure is likely to accelerate and could slip till 19250-19200. Contra traders can take a long bet near 19200 with a strict 35 points stop loss.

The Nifty witnessed a day of consolidation. It traded within the range of the previous trading session (19434 – 19300) and closed with marginal gains. On the daily charts it has formed an Inside Bar Pattern indicating consolidation. The hourly Bollinger bands are also contracting, indicating that rangebound price action.

We believe that the Nifty is in the process of consolidation after a sharp runup and this consolidation form a floor for the next leg of upmove. Over the next few trading sessions, we expect the Nifty to consolidate in the range 19500 – 19300 and a dip towards the 19300 should be used as a buying opportunity.

Overall, the uptrend is intact, and we expect levels of 19500 and 19300– 19270 shall act as a crucial support zone while 19450 – 19500 shall act as a crucial resistance zone.

As far as Bank Nifty is concerned, the Index also witnessed subdued price action on the back of weakness in HDFC Bank. Overall, the Bank Nifty is in a consolidation mode after a sharp run up. The hourly momentum indicator has a negative crossover and negative divergence which indicates loss of momentum on the upside. Overall, the range of consolidation is likely to be 45000 - 45600
