Nifty Technical View

The market ended up one percent higher following a strong opening but couldn’t maintain its position above the short-term moving averages (10 and 21-day EMA), which align with the 24,400 level on August 9. This level is important to monitor for potential gains towards 24,700, the top of the bearish gap formed on August 5. If the index doesn’t close and hold above 24,400, it might enter a consolidation phase, with support expected around the 24,100-24,000 range, The Nifty 50 concluded the week down by 1.4 percent at 24,368.

India VIX

Volatility decreased significantly, providing more confidence to bullish investors. If the downtrend continues, it could become more favorable for the bulls. The India VIX, which measures market fear, fell by 7.63 percent to 15.34 from 16.6 on Friday, although it rose by 7.09 percent over the week.

Nifty PCR

The Nifty Put-Call ratio (PCR), a measure of market sentiment, increased to 1.09 on August 9, up from 1.04 in the previous session. A rising PCR, particularly above 0.7 or 1, suggests that traders are selling more Put options compared to Call options, typically signaling stronger bullish sentiment. Conversely, if the ratio drops below 0.7 or moves towards 0.5, it indicates that Call option selling exceeds Put option selling, which points to a bearish outlook in the market.
