The Nifty50 which opened with a gap on the lower side managed to recoup losses and closed near its opening level forming a ‘Doji’ kind of candle on the daily candlestick charts.
Formation of a Doji candle after a bearish candle signifies that bulls are not out of the game; however, a directional move on either side is required to confirm the trend.
India VIX moved down by 0.83% at 13.80. On the options front, maximum Put open interest is placed at 10400 followed by 10300 strikes while maximum Call open interest is at 10700 followed by 11000 strikes.
“We have seen fresh Call writing at 10900 followed by 10500 while fresh Put Writing is seen at 10300 followed by 10400 strikes. Option band signifies a trading range between 10400 to 10630 zones,” Chandan Taparia, Derivatives, and Technical Analyst at Motilal Oswal Securities told Moneycontrol.
“The Nifty fell down towards 10460 zones but recovered from lows and formed a Doji candle on the daily chart. Formation of Doji candle after the decline of the last session indicates that Bulls and Bear both are fighting hard to get their grip in the market,” he said.
Taparia further added that Nifty has to cross and hold above 10550 zones to witness a bounce back move towards its major hurdle of 10620 while a hold below 10500 could extend its decline towards next support of 10430 then 10400 levels.
