Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty eyes 26k

Nifty outlook:
Friday’s large upsides, and upcoming expiry raises the possibility of Nifty heading into uncharted territories. While optimistic targets may be placed at 26600, the 25710 region will act as a crucial pivot from here on, as long as above which, we will be confident to play upsides aiming 25965-990 initially. Meanwhile, while a slippage below 25710 will deflate the day’s upsides hopes, it may require a break below 25475 to fully shift to downsides.
 
Derivative outlook:
Nifty weekly contract has highest open interest at 27000 for Calls and 25000 for Puts while monthly contracts have highest open interest at 27000 for Calls and 25000 for Puts. Highest new OI addition was seen at 29000 for Calls and 25700 for Puts in weekly and at 29000 for Calls and 25700 for Puts in monthly contracts. FIIs increased their future index long position holdings by 23.20 per cent, decreased future index shorts by 18.05 per cent and in index options by 29.69 per cent increase in Call longs, 45.73 per cent increase in Call short, 11.34 per cent increase in Put longs and 46.30 per cent increase in Put shorts

Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'Nifty may see aggressive targets between 26,300-26,500, with support at 24,301'

Stock Market LIVE Updates: "Domestic benchmark indices are likely to mirror gains in the SGX Nifty index and see a firm opening. However, subdued trading in other Asian indices could limit the gains going ahead as investors would wait for cues from European indices in afternoon trades for further direction. While all bullish eyes will aim at the Nifty 26,000 mark with an interweek perspective, aggressive bulls may prefer to take a breather following last week’s Fed-fueled rally. Key US data during the week like the GDP growth numbers for the second quarter and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's Speech this Thursday, followed by US PCE inflation on Friday will be in focus. On the technical front, the Nifty may see aggressive targets between 26,300-26,500 zone with support at 24,301.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'Nifty appears to be moving towards 26,000'

Stock Market LIVE Updates: "The charging bull got a shot of steroids from the Fed when it cut interest rates by 50bps on September 18. More than the rate cut, it was the Fed chief’s optimistic commentary that lifted the markets sharply. The signal from the Fed is that inflation is under control and the economy is unlikely to tip into recession. This message is positive for equities, positive for emerging markets and positive for India.

Nifty now appears to be moving to its next target of 26,000 which is only 210 points away. The move towards this target is likely to be led by the banking majors which are showing strong momentum. There are two factors favouring banking stocks now: one, the FIIs who were major sellers early this year have turned buyers and they are likely to buy more banking stocks which are even now fairly valued in this highly valued market. Second, the credit-deposit gap which has been impacting banks’ margins has started narrowing. In brief, accumulation is likely in banking stocks and this has the potential to push the market up."
