#Nifty directions and levels for January 20th, Tuesday:
Good Morning, friends! 🌞
Here are the market directions and levels for January 20th, Tuesday:
Market Overview: The global market is showing moderately bullish sentiment (based on the Dow Jones), while our local market reflects a bearish sentiment. Today, the market is likely to open with a neutral to slightly gap-up start, as the Gift Nifty indicates a +50-point positive opening.
In the previous session, our markets closed negatively, while the US market performed very well. Everyone is closely watching Donald Trump’s inauguration. Some expect the market to maintain its bearish sentiment for another one or two days. However, if there is any positive trigger, a bounce-back can be anticipated. Otherwise, the correction is likely to continue.
Structurally, my expectation is that if the market takes a pullback, we can expect a range-bound market with a bullish bias. If the pullback sustains, the market could break out and move higher. On the other hand, if the gap-up doesn’t sustain, we can expect the correction to continue. This forms the basic structure for today.
Both Nifty and Bank Nifty exhibit similar structural sentiments.
Nifty Current View:
The current view suggests we are in a range market. If the pullback sustains, we can expect a minimum target of 23330 to 23360. After that, if it breaks with some consolidation, it could continue to reach 23387 to 23431. However, after this rally, the market may experience some rejection around that range; this is the basic structure.
In this scenario, if the rally sustains without any rejection, it may form a long bullish candle at the market’s opening.
Alternate View:
The alternate view suggests that if the gap-up doesn’t sustain, we can initially expect a minor correction that could reach 23121 to 23087. This is also a range market target. After that, if it finds support there, the range market may continue. On the other hand, if it breaks below, the correction will likely continue.
Note: A notable point is that we are in a range-bound market, so approach the charts with this context in mind.
