F&O Updates
F&O updates include the information related to probable bans on certain stocks from F&O trading. This also includes the traded value of F&O in one particular session. The F&O figures are indicators of what the traders think of the market. This gives a tentative idea about the predicted market flows. The major F&O contracts lie around the resistance and support levels of the indices and stocks. This is the reason why there is drastic change in the stock price or index price when the support or resistance levels are crossed.
FII and DII data
FII and DII are the pillars of the entire Indian Markets. More buying from FII presents a positive way ahead for the markets. Similarly there are few patterns which give an alarm for the traders. If DII and FII both show positive figures of buying this indicates a major upscale for markets. When the FII are selling and DII are buying the markets are said to go down for corrections. But when the FII and DII both are selling stocks heavily for consecutive sessions one should exit the positions temporarily. This May result in a sharp fall and crash in markets. This pattern was observed near the March Crash before the LOCKDOWN news.
Nifty and Bank Nifty resistance and support levels
The resistance and support levels are a very important measure to place the SL and profit booking levels. This indicates the market potential for one single session. If the market crosses these levels it can result in major upscale or downfall depending on the level. So if the support levels break this results into major bloodbath in the markets and vice versa with resistance levels. The Bank Nifty consists of major parts in the NIFTY50, so a major break in Bank Nifty also presents a change in NIFTY50.
So the proportion of sectors in NIFTY50 should be kept in mind as well along with knowing the support and resistance levels.
