Here’s how analysts view today’s (September 9) trading session

Osho Krishan, Senior Analyst – Technical & Derivatives, Angel One

On the level-specific front, the 25000 mark now seems to be a critical resistance zone, and a breakthrough could bring back positive momentum in the Nifty. On the other hand, the negative crossover on the technical indicators suggests a potential continuation of profit-taking; 24600-24500 is likely to serve as a positional support level for the benchmark in the upcoming week.

Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking

Technically, the recent decline in Nifty has disrupted the index’s upward momentum, pushing it below its short-term 20-day exponential moving average (DEMA). The next significant support level is around 24,500, aligned with the 50 DEMA. In the event of a recovery, the 25,100-25,350 range is likely to serve as a strong resistance zone. Sectorally, defensive stocks like FMCG and pharma are expected to show resilience during this correction, while other sectors, especially PSU stocks, may face continued selling pressure as they exhibit signs of a breakdown from a distribution pattern.

Traders are advised to manage their positions carefully on both the long and short sides and avoid averaging down on loss-making trades during this uncertain phase.

Ravi Nathani, Independent Analyst

The best trading strategy for both traders and investors is to buy on dips, especially around the support levels of 24,710 and 24,550. These levels represent strong support, and any dips near these points offer good buying opportunities, especially if the range of 24,800 to 25,000 is breached. On the other hand, if the index breaks and closes above 25,000, it could trigger further bullish momentum.

In this scenario, the next resistance levels to watch for are 25,333, 25,550, 25,760, and 25,925. The overall trend remains bullish, and buying on dips continues to be the most advisable strategy for short-term traders. In summary, traders should look for buying opportunities around the 24,710 and 24,550 support levels, and if the index breaks above 25,000, it could target higher resistance zones, indicating continued upward momentum.

FII, DII update: How much did FIIs, and DIIs buy or sell on September 6?

As per NSE data, Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) were net sellers of Indian equities worth Rs 620.95 crore, while DII’s were net buyers of equities worth Rs 2,121.53 crore.

Here’s how the Indian benchmark performed on Friday:

Indian benchmark indices BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 slipped more than 1 per cent each to close deep in the red on Friday, as the Indian markets were buffeted by regulatory headwinds, while some investors likely booked profits at record levels before the release of US jobs and payrolls data later in the day in the US. 

At close, the BSE Sensex was down 1,017 points, or 1.24 per cent, at 81,183.93, while Nifty 50 was at 24,852.15, down 292.95 points, or 1.17 per cent.
