The WeeklyTrade - Best Weekly Indian Market Outlook for 18th August Expiry
Hello Guys, I hope you are doing good. In this edition of our weekly market newsletter (Weekly Indian market outlook), we will cover the weekly Indian market outlook, Important levels, sector analysis, a few stock analyses, and option hedging strategies for weekly income.
This is the advanced version of our previous weekly Indian market outlook articles. This 5-section weekly newsletter is full of valuable information but as you know nothing is perfect so your valuable feedback is highly required.
So without wasting your time, Let’s start with our first segment i.e. Weekly India Market Outlook
Weekly Indian Market Outlook and Important levels
In this section of our weekly market newsletter. I will share the weekly Indian market summary and try to find the trend and levels for the coming week. So read it carefully and if you have any queries feel free to type in the comment box.
In the week gone by, global stock market rallied as softer than expected US inflation data suggested a slower pace of rate hike. The next Fed rate hike is, therefore, likely to be 50 bp and not 75bp. US CPI inflation smoothened to 8.5% in July as lower energy prices offset increase in food and shelter cost.
On the flip side, as per Nomura holding, many of the world’s leading economies will fall into a recession within the next 12 months as central banks move to aggressively tighten monetary policy to fight surging inflation.
The fall in US inflation, better earnings growth in June FY23 quarter and consistent buying by FIIs lifted the sentiments of the market participants.
With core inflation continuing to hover well above the upper tolerance limit, the RBI increased the repo rate by 50 bps, broadly in line with market expectations.
In another development, RBI tightened norms for digital lending to prevent charging of exorbitant interest rates by certain entities and also check unethical loan recovery practices.
Now the focus of the investors is on the geopolitical tensions, volatility in global financial markets, and emerging risk of the global recession besides other factors.
Let us look at the chart to understand the trend based on the technical:
Weekly Analysis and Important levels for Nifty
We saw a very good recovery from lower levels in the last 2 months that indicates that value buying has been started in the market. And Market has made it’s bottom.
If you look at the Fibonacci levels, 16900 to 17300 (50% to 61.8% levels) was the reversal zone. Nifty broke and manage to sustain above this range without any pressure that indicates that there is no sign of weakness in the Nifty based on the charts.
Now, 17700 to 17900 is the range that can act as resistance because there is a trendline resistance around 17700 & 17900 is 78.6% retracement level.
Now two things you should keep in mind here:
- Nifty may face resistance around 17700 – 17900 level and drop again till 17300 (61.8% retracement levels which is acting as the support now) to gain strength for it’s upward journey again.
- Nifty may successfully gave a breakout and hit the psychological level of 18000.
In both the cases, Nifty is not looking weak from here but we need to keep a hedge with our portfolio because global volatility is high that may initiate a profit booking in the market.
So we need to trade a little cautious here. Don’t just take aggressive long or short positions here. Wait for some breakout. Right now Nifty is in BUY-on-dips condition till it is trading above 16500 level, so keep 16500 as the stoploss for your long positions.
I will buy around 18000 after a breakout from 17900 or around 17300 if Nifty cames down a little to gain strength.
If you have long positions in your portfolio then it’s time to hedge your portfolio. Do not take aggressive long positions for the short term.
Trade Plan for the coming week: If Nifty manages to give a breakout from 18000 the creates a long position for the next target of 18600. And If Nifty manages to hold 17700 – 17900 then wait for some downside till 17300 and then create long position with a stop loss above 16500.
Volatility is still high, which is giving a good chance to deploy some limited risk range-bound strategies for the coming week expiry.
If you don’t know how to deploy these range-bound strategies, can learn from our Mentorship program. Hit the below button to know more:
Weekly Analysis and Important levels for BankNifty
Almost the Same setup we can see in BankNifty. With a good upside rally BankNifty hit a new 52 week high of 39088.90 and closed above it’s reversal zone (50% – 61.8%) without any pressure or hurdle. That indicates a complete bullish trend in BankNifty.
Now, 39400 – 39800 is acting as the resistance zone for the coming week. A breakout will activate the new upside target of 41000 i short to medium term in BankNifty.
On the downside, 35800 is acting as the support level and a brekdown from 35800 will drag BankNifty again in the zone of bear.
Now If you are holding a long trade, then hold it with a revised stoploss of 35800. If you don’t have any long position in BankNifty then either take a new bet above 40000 or wait for a small correction till 38200 for a new long position while keeping stoploss below 35800 for the coming session.
The next target in BankNifty is 32900.
As a safe trader, I prefer to trade with a limited risk range-bound strategy here. That I will share in the next section of this weekly newsletter.
