The bears have intensified their hold on February 11 by forcing the Nifty index underneath the midrange of the Bollinger Bands and even went as far as to snapping the February 3 low. The 1.3% drop was caused by worries over US levies, interrupting the higher-high, lower-low pattern and indicating additional trouble.

Market experts believe that if the Nifty emphatically breaches the 23,000 mark, it can further tumble towards 22,800 (which is close to January’s bottom). On the other hand, if the average bounces, the subsequent resistance level is likely to be around 23,300.

To assist traders in cashing in profits, there are significant support and resistance levels and additional notable market trends that should be considered.

Market Outlook: What to Expect?

Bearish Bias Continues:

Declines extend towards 22,800 as the Nifty is anticipated to break below the obliterated support of 23,000.

In the event of a nifty positive rebound, Nifty would have to break 23,300 to re gain some upward momentum.

Bank Nifty's Resistance at 50,000+ Levels:

Intact resistance at 50,368 and 51,159.

Key support in the vicinity of 49,000.

Volatility Rising (India VIX At 14.87):

Market movements come with uncertainties as highly increased volatility does not help the situation.

Options Data Suggests Weakness:

Call OI peak at 24,000 (Nifty) & 51,000 (Bank Nifty) show signs of sturdy resistance.

While Put OI peak at 22,500 (Nifty) & 49,000 (Bank Nifty) suggest strong support zones.

Conclusion: How Should Traders Approach The Market?

For Bulls:

This analysis lateralizes to traders once we see RUPPEE breach over 23,300 (Nifty) and 50,368 (Bank Nifty) indicating bullish divergence.

Once above the key levels, traders can look towards strong stocks for buying opportunities.

For Bears:

Bank Nifty crossing 49,000 and nifty levels of 23,000 would definitely immerse us deeper into confirmed downtrends.

It does open extensive short selling solutions for traders as well as further declines.

I highly suggest you read the following lines carefully.

Nifty’s support levels are 22,995, 22,746.

Nifty’s resistance levels are 23,304, 23,553.

Bank Nifty support is 49,217, 48,766.

Bank Nifty Resistance is 49,947, 50,225.
