Find the weak links

The Nifty 50 extended its gains for the third consecutive session, closing 0.18 percent higher on November 12. The index traded within the previous day's range, while the broader bullish structure remained intact. However, the MACD histogram indicates some moderation in bullish momentum, suggesting further consolidation and range-bound trading over the next few sessions. According to experts, the 25,400–25,500 zone is likely to act as an immediate critical hurdle for the index. A decisive move above this range could pave the way for a sharp rally towards 26,000. However, as long as the index remains below this resistance zone, it may continue to consolidate, with immediate support at 25,000, followed by the crucial support level of 24,800.

Here are 15 data points we have collated to help you spot profitable trades:

1) Key Levels For The Nifty 50 (25,299)

Resistance based on pivot points: 25,368, 25,425, and 25,518

Support based on pivot points: 25,183, 25,126, and 25,034

Special Formation: The Nifty 50 formed a bullish candle with upper and lower shadows on the daily charts, remaining within the previous day's trading range and indicating range-bound activity. The key moving averages continued to slope upward, keeping the broader trend positive. The RSI traded near the 80 mark at 79.82, with a bullish crossover, signalling strong bullish momentum. However, it has moved closer to the overbought zone. The MACD maintained its upward trajectory, but the green histogram bars have declined for the third consecutive session, indicating a gradual moderation in bullish momentum. These indicators suggest that the broader bullish trend remains intact, although the fading momentum signals the possibility of further consolidation in the near term.

2) Key Levels For The Bank Nifty (61,519)

Resistance based on pivot points: 61,577, 61,771, and 62,085

Support based on pivot points: 60,948, 60,754, and 60,440

Resistance based on Fibonacci retracement: 61,765, 63,550

Support based on Fibonacci retracement: 59,080, 56,928

Special Formation: The Bank Nifty continued its strong outperformance against the Nifty 50, rising 1.19 percent and extending its higher high-higher low formation. The index formed a long bullish candle on the daily timeframe, signalling a healthy bullish structure. All key moving averages continued to trend upward, while the 50-day EMA was on the verge of crossing above the 100-day and 200-day EMAs, raising the possibility of a golden crossover. The index was just 246 points away from its record high of 61,764.85, recorded on February 3. The RSI jumped to 80.50, indicating strong bullish momentum but also pointing to overbought conditions. Meanwhile, the MACD maintained a strong bullish crossover, with the green histogram bars expanding for the tenth consecutive session. These technical indicators point to strong bullish momentum, although the elevated RSI warrants caution in the near term.

8) Put-Call Ratio

The Nifty Put-Call ratio (PCR), which indicates the mood of the market, rose to 1.00 on November 12, compared to 0.98 in previous session.

The increasing PCR, or being higher than 0.7 or surpassing 1, means traders are selling more Put options than Call options, which generally indicates the firming up of a bullish sentiment in the market. If the ratio falls below 0.7 or moves towards 0.5, then it indicates selling in Calls is higher than selling in Puts, reflecting a bearish mood in the market.

The volatility gauge, India VIX, declined 5.34 percent to 16.61 but continued to remain at elevated levels. The decline offers some comfort to the bulls; however, the VIX needs to fall below the 14 mark and sustain at those levels to bring market participants into a more comfortable zone.
