The momentum in the market is intact, but some profit-taking can happen since the market has been bullish from the last few sessions. This is a Buy on Dip market.

Despite the rising Covid cases, the market mood has been upbeat backed by strong global cues.

Nifty Trade Set up For Today, Thursday 13 Jan: What The Chart Says

Nifty is expected to open up negative or can have a flat start as SGX Nifty is trading 100 points positive at the time of writing this post.

Sustaining 18100-18200 for a few sessions is critical if Nifty has to clear this hurdle finally and finally touch 18600 levels. Any minor dip should be considered as a buying opportunity.

Chetan Panchamia, a well-known Kolkata-based trader, opines on his Twitter channel: “Since this is expiry day. The volatility remains high. The amount of call writing at the 18100 level is pretty huge, so the index is not expected to go below it and may act as strong support for today and in the medium term, 17750 level is the major support for Nifty.”

Bank Nifty Trade Set Up, 13 January: What the Chart Says

Chetan is of the view that Bank Nifty momentum will remain continued. A small correction around 37200-37500 is not ruled out. But this should be considered as a fresh buying opportunity.  If Bulls can sustain above 37200 levels for some sessions, it will make a strong move towards 42000 level finally.

Note: At Alpha Return, we regard Chetan’s view on Nifty and Bank Nifty a lot and we request you to follow his Twitter account: @123chetanp.

Options data also support that market is in bullish momentum.

We have witnessed long build-up in 75 stocks. An increase in open interest, along with an increase in price, is a good sign of bullish momentum. On the other hand, we have seen unwinding in only 16 stocks in the F&O segment stock.
