Nifty Looking For Support !


Nifty moved up sharply in the latter part of the session to close above 5700. For greater part of the session market traded in the red as yet again a few heavyweights like RIL put pressure on indices. Nifty slipped below 5650 mid session before short covering coupled with some value buying in banking counters improved the sentiments. Banking heavyweights like ICICI bank and HDFC bank were amongst the prominent gainers and that boosted the sagging indices. Even SBI that made a new recent low at 2463 recovered sharply to claw its way back above 2500. Other mid cap banking counters too continued to move up. Some of the prominent gainers for the day were Orchid, Indian Bank, Dena Bank, IDBI, Syndicate bank, IFCI, IOB, Al Bank, Can bank and Central Bank. RIL was bogged down yet again by various rumors as it slipped to around Rs 950. It recovered a great part of its intraday loss towards the close but still ended the day in red. Some other losers were Crompton, United Spirits, Gail, PTC, Jain irrigation, Petronet, ITC and ONGC.

Nifty bounced back from just around the previous recent low at 5628 and recovered smartly to close above 5700. It seems that market is finding support around 5630-5650 and could again try to move past 5740-50. Banks are finding some buying around current levels as most of the banking results have been good so far. That is perhaps leading to some kind of short covering ahead of credit policy on 25th Jan. Even a reasonable technical rebound in banking counters could support indices. Allahabad Bank, Indusind Bank, Central bank (above 174), IOB, Syndicate Bank, Can Bank ( 602) and Yes Bank( above 278) could see reasonable upside from current levels.

Nifty has immediate support around 5650 and then around 5610 while resistance is at 5740-50.
