Nifty Technical View

The Nifty 50 index recently formed a Doji-like candlestick pattern following a bullish candle in the previous trading session. This suggests a potential period of consolidation. Despite this, the overall trend remains positive as the index continues to form higher highs and higher lows. If the index maintains its level above 24,300, it is likely to reach 24,500 after the consolidation period. The immediate key support level for the index is at 24,200.

Indian Vix

Volatility increased for the first time in the last five consecutive sessions, but it remains well below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of 14.6. Therefore, it is not yet a significant concern for bullish traders. The India VIX, often referred to as the fear index, rose by 7.13 percent, climbing from 12.7 to 13.6.

FII And DII Data

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs/FPIs) bought Indian stocks worth Rs 60.98 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) purchased Indian stocks amounting to Rs 2,866.79 crore during the same period.

Put Call Ratio

The Nifty Put-Call ratio (PCR), which reflects market sentiment, decreased to 1.18 on July 8 from 1.20 in the previous session. An increasing PCR, or a value higher than 0.7 or exceeding 1, suggests that traders are selling more Put options than Call options, generally indicating a bullish sentiment in the market. Conversely, if the ratio falls below 0.7 or moves toward 0.5, it indicates higher selling in Call options compared to Put options, reflecting a bearish mood in the market.
