We have a long weekend this time with Monday, 27th November being a trading holiday on account of Guru Nanak Jayanti. The coming week also has a monthly derivatives expiry lined up as well. Tuesday will see the markets starting by adjusting themselves to the global trade setup. The levels of 19900 and 20030 are likely to act as potential resistance levels.
Despite the corrective decline, the volatility index, as represented by India VIX, did not rise. In fact, it declined marginally by 2.20% to 10.66 on a weekly basis. This continues to keep the markets vulnerable to incremental corrective retrenchment.
There is one important change that is happening - beginning next week, Bank Niftys weekly options expiry is being moved to Wednesday. Until now, both Nifty and Bank Nifty s weekly options expired every Thursday. But from now on, Bank Nifty Options will expire/settle every Wednesday and Nifty on Thursday.
It was also expected that the current uptrend might stand disrupted and the markets may slip under corrective consolidation. The trading range again got narrower; against 499 points in the week before this one, the NIFTY oscillated in a 232.75 points range.
