Markets this week

The coming week will be driven by the earnings releases (particularly the IT sector), macroeconomic data points like inflation, and the Covid-19 situation. IT major Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, and Wipro will announce their Q3 results on January 12. On the same day, Consumer Price Index (CPI) is also scheduled to release. You should also watch the FII activity for this week.

We are slightly positive on the market outlook unless there is any negative surprise. Our recommendation is to use market corrections as an opportunity to invest in fundamentally strong companies. We would advise remaining selective on the sectors. BFSI sector looks positive and we believe one can add good stocks on every dip. LIC housing looks interesting at current levels. As always, you have to be very selective about the stocks you pick.

Nifty Outlook

If we look at the daily chart of Nifty, a crossover of moving averages is visible and on the weekly front index has given consolidation breakout, indicating that investors should follow the buy on dips strategy. For the Nifty to bounce towards 17,980 and 18,100 levels, it has to cross the 17,850 level. On the downside support, if it crosses below 17,650 then it can touch 17,500 and 17,350 levels.

Bank Nifty Outlook

On the daily chart, you can see that Bank Nifty is trading near the 200 SMA and on the weekly chart it traded above the short-term moving averages. When you combine both the data points, you can see that the Bank Nifty shows a bullish trend and one can follow buy on dips strategy.

This week Bank Nifty closed at 37,852, compared with 35,674 last week. In the coming trading session if it holds below 37,600 then weakness could take it to 37,250 and 36,900, whereas minor resistance on the upside is capped around 38,450-38,900 levels.
