Nifty Technical View

On August 6, the market erased all its gains in late trade, closing moderately lower despite positive movements in Asian peers. The Nifty 50 index ended just below the 24,000 mark at 23,993, down 63 points for the day. Despite the decline, it managed to stay above its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) of 23,965, which is a critical support level.Currently, the primary trend for the index appears weak, with immediate support at 23,800. However, if the Nifty 50 maintains its position above the 50-day EMA, there is potential for a rebound. In that scenario, the index could test higher levels, potentially reaching between 24,400 and 24,500 in the near term.

Indian Vix
Volatility eased somewhat after a significant 57 percent increase in the previous sessions. Despite this cooling, it remains elevated, with the India VIX (the fear index) staying above the 15-16 range, which could continue to support a bearish trend. On August 6, the India VIX decreased by 7.98 percent, falling from 20.37 to 18.74. This drop indicates a reduction in market fear, but the elevated VIX levels suggest that caution may still be warranted for investors.

FII And DII Data

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs/FPIs) sold Indian stocks valued at Rs 3,531.24 crore, whereas domestic institutional investors (DIIs) Bought Indian stocks worth Rs 3,357.45 crore during the same period.

Put Call Ratio
On August 6, the Nifty Put-Call Ratio (PCR), a gauge of market sentiment, fell slightly to 0.71 from 0.72 in the previous session. This minor decline suggests a marginal shift in market sentiment, potentially indicating a slight increase in call option activity relative to put options.
