For the last seven trading sessions, Nifty has been below its all-time high and consolidating in a 200 points range.
Recent low of 11,549 becomes the near-term support for the market. Holding above 11,549 bias remains positive and we expect market to breakout on upside. Breach and sustenance above 11,760 on Nifty on tradable basis can help the rally to continue towards 11,900-12,000 levels. However, breaking below 11,549 and market can see correction towards 11,350-11,300 where next set of supports are seen.
In Nifty options, maximum open interest for Puts is seen at strike price 11,000 followed by 11,500; while for Calls it is seen at strike price 12,000 followed by 11,800. Thus, on downside, market has support at 11,550-11,500 levels, while on the upside 12,000 will act as resistance.
India VIX has risen by 10.3 percent to 20.3 in last two days. Thus, further increase suggests market will see volatile moves and cap upside gains. If volatility stabilizes or cools off, it will be supportive for market in decisive breakout on upside.
