“The 17500 objective discussed yesterday, appears to be in quick progression. Bullish exhaustion may set in on the first test of 17245, but a trend reversal is unlikely as long as the 16800/750 region holds. That being the broad levels, opening burst is likely to have continuity as long as 17080-16960 region holds downsides,” said Anand James – Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services
“On the technical front, 16800 and 17200 are immediate support and resistance in Nifty 50. For Bank Nifty 37000 and 38000 are immediate support and resistance respectively,” said Mohit Nigam, Head – PMS, Hem Securities.

“In India the big positive for the market is the FIIs reducing their selling substantially and even turning buyers for 8 days this month. The expected outperformance of financials has played out well. Q1 results indicate improving prospects for this segment. The short covering bounce in IT may continue in the near-term. If the ongoing market rally continues for some more time there is the danger of the market moving into overbought territory with the risk of vulnerability to correction,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
“Nifty has formed a third back-to-back up-gap since July 15. None of the earlier two up-gaps have been filled so far suggesting the strength of the upward thrust. The large move up suggests that FPIs have now again started to come back into India in a big way as the uncertainty over rate hikes is behind us for the time being. 17092-17132 band is the next resistance for the Nifty while 16752 remains support for the near term,” said Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research, HDFC securities.
“Fortunately, India is more domestically focused than externally impacted. Demand drivers are mixed. Pockets of discretionary demand are doing very well (mobility, personal consumption), whereas some pockets like electronics seem to have stalled. In this environment we may well have some sideways movement for the next few quarters while the markets find a base level. Our expectation is that at the current level, risks are evenly balanced. Over the next three years, equity markets have more upside than downside. Once again, more money has been lost in timing the markets than in actual market falls. So, we advise clients to follow their asset allocation framework during these tumultuous times. Stay invested – it is never as bad as it looks.”

“US Stocks rallied post the rate hike decision taken by the US central bank. There was an apparent disconnect between what the central banker said and how markets responded. The rate hike was on expected lines and the talk in some corners of a 1% hike, which did not materialize, led to this relief rally. The US economy is on the brink of a recession as inflation slows consumer purchases and business activity. Although we have witnessed a strong rally today in our markets too, one needs to be watchful of the second quarter GDP reading released in the US. We also need to see the FPI flows over the next few weeks given the 75bps rate hike announced by the US Fed. In a major relief, July has seen minimal FPI outflows, the trajectory of which could change over the next few weeks.”
