Trade Setup For Nov. 26: Nifty To See Range-Bound Activity With Key Support At 24,100
Indian equities are expected to witness a net inflow of around $2.5 billion in foreign passive flows.
The intraday market trend for the benchmark NSE Nifty 50 remains bullish, but range-bound activity is expected in the near term due to overbought conditions,, according to Shrikant Chouhan, head of equity research at Kotak Securities Ltd.
Day traders should focus on buying during intraday corrections and selling on rallies. The key support for the Nifty is 24,000 and 24,100, while the resistance zone is between 24,400 and 24,500. A break below 24,000 can weaken the uptrend, the analyst said.
Indian equities are expected to witness a net inflow of around $2.5 billion in foreign passive flows as the quarterly rejig in the MSCI indices is slated to occur Monday, according to Ameya Ranadive, senior technical analyst at StoxBox.
He pointed out that the Nifty was fluctuating within a range of 216 points on Monday before closing on an "indecisive note" after reclaiming the 20-day moving average. In contrast, the broader indices outperformed the benchmark, and all sectoral indices ended in the green.
With a strong show by the Mahayuti in Maharashtra elections, the sentiment in domestic equities should turn around, according to IFA Global. "We prefer to increase the allocation in the large cap universe on every dip towards 23,400. We may see idiosyncratic moves in the smallcap space."
FII, DII Activity
Overseas investors became net buyers of Indian equities on Monday, ending 38 consecutive sessions of selling. Foreign portfolio investors bought stocks worth Rs 9,948 crore, marking the second-highest single day buying of the year.
Meanwhile, domestic institutional investors turned net sellers, offloading shares worth Rs 6,908 crore after 13 consecutive sessions of being net buyers.
