Outlook for November 10

Ajit Mishra, SVP - Technical Research, Religare Broking:

Markets remained range bound for the third day in a row and ended marginally lower. After the flat start, Nifty remained in a narrow range till the end and finally settled around the day’s low. A mixed trend continued on the sectoral front wherein realty and auto posted decent gains while FMCG and oil&gas ended in the red. Amid all, resilience continued on the broader front and both midcap and smallcap index closed unchanged.

The recent pause is the index is largely in sync with the global markets, especially the US, and needs a decisive break from the 19,200-19,500 zone for the next move. Meanwhile, stay focused on identifying the sectors and themes that are performing well and utilize intermediate dips to add quality stocks.

Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities:

The Nifty has slipped a bit lower as it found resistance at the critical moving average on the daily timeframe, suggesting a weakening bullish sentiment. Moreover, the index slipped back below 21EMA after a brief stay above the critical near-term moving average, which indicates a failed bullish reversal. The sentiment now favors a bearish bet as long as the Nifty remains below 19,500. All rallies till 19,500 are likely to be sold into. On the lower end, support is placed at 19,300, below which a serious correction may happen in the market.

The Nifty Bank index has remained sideways during the day as it sustained above the support at 43,500 while it failed to reach the crucial resistance of 44,000. Going forward, the trend is likely to remain sideways to positive as long as it sustains above 43,500. The index has been lacking momentum at the higher levels. A fall below 43,500 might signal a failure of the current trend; below 43,500, the index might fall towards 43,000-42,800.
