Nifty Technical View

Market Recovers Strongly Post-Budget but Closes Slightly Lower

The Indian stock market experienced significant volatility on budget day. After a sharp initial decline of over 1,200 points on the Sensex and 400 points on the Nifty, the market staged a strong recovery. While the overall budget was largely in line with expectations, a proposed increase in capital gains tax dampened investor sentiment. Despite the closing red, experts remain optimistic about the market’s near-term prospects. The Nifty 50 will resume its upward trajectory towards 24,850 as long as it maintains support levels of 24,300 to 24,200.

Put-Call Ratio

The Nifty Put-Call Ratio (PCR) took a sharp dive to 0.87 on July 23, indicating a significant shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish. This steep decline from the previous day’s level of 1.02 suggests that traders are increasingly opting for Put options over Call options.

FII And DII Data

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs/FPIs) purchased Indian stocks worth Rs1,418.82 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) sold Indian stocks valued at Rs 2,975.31 crore during the same period.

India VIX

The Indian equity market witnessed a significant decline in volatility following the Union Budget. The India VIX, a key indicator of market fear, dropped sharply by 17.43% to 12.75, erasing nearly all its gains for the month. This substantial decrease suggests that investor sentiment has improved considerably, with a growing preference for riskier assets.
