The Asian markets are trading mixed with Nikkei trading higher and the Chinese markets trading in the red.

All the factors combined indicate a gap-up opening.

BANK NIFTY has supports at 44,100, 44,000 and 43,850. Resistances are at 44,170, 44,280 and 44,440.

It was a huge short covering yesterday. Let us see if the up-move continues today. OI build-up says there are trapped call option sellers especially in Bank Nifty.
We will have to wait till 11 AM to see which direction the market takes. We usually see reversals at this time.
Holiday was shifted from Wednesday to Thursday and thus, today is the expiry day.
NSE also came up with an update regarding BN expiry: The expiry day will continue to be on Thursday rather than Friday after BSE’s request.
HDFC-HDFC Bank demerger news saw a follow-up saying the current date of delisting, 13th July is tentative only.
As mentioned above, see what happens around 11 AM before major decisions.
I will watch 18,770 on the downside in NIFTY. 18,890 can be watched on the upside.
