Nifty having taken support 19329, the recent reaction low on Friday, a buy on dips mode is in play, which should pacify the nerves of those worrying about a dip after Muhurat trading day. Going forward, we expect 19170 to hold in the event of extended dips, with intermediate support at 10d SMA of 19262, while an outright rise above 19433 could also signal that we are back on to the 19840 trajectory. Collapse theories are on hold for now and the mood is cautiously optimistic.

With Nifty Bank, the slight outperformance on Friday comes on the heels of underperformance since the September peak Come from Sports betting site VPbet . Most of the excess 2% fall that index logged in over the Nifty could be attributed to the sharp falls of the state owned banks. The standard deviation profile of Nifty Bank positions it better than Nifty to stage a measured push towards the 50dma at 44239. With this in perspective, we favour a bull spread strategy with calls, using 43700CE for the long leg and 44000CE for short leg, with a net debit of 165 points at available prices now on 15Nov contract. The strategy should give positive payoff as the index stretches higher, and exit may be considered on approach to 44300. Downside markers may be placed at 43700 or 43350 on the index.
Sensex shoved away the early jitters on Friday day and pushed higher to the 65000 vicinity. This was the max pain attracting the prices on the expiry day, and with it, we have now got a close above the 20 dma. This encourages us to extend upside bets towards 65630, the 50dma. The downside marker may be placed at 64350.

USDINR meanwhile saw a strong push into the 83.3-83.4 something that we had pencilled as a trigger towards a breakout move higher. However RBI seeking an explanation from an electronic trading platform, cautions us into seeing this as an aberration and approaches the market fresh on Monday. That said, expect 84 to 84.6. Should we begin trading above 83.4. Alternatively, downsides are expected to be held in the 83.19, but a penetration of 83.02 could expose 82.78.
