74.40-74.50 levels will act as an important resistance for USD-INR

The IPO fever continues to buzz with Nuvoco Viastas' Rs 5000 cr, CarTrade Rs 3000 cr, Aptus Value Housing Rs. 2800, and Chemplast Sanmar Rs.3800cr likely to hit markets this week. It will be watchful whether RBI shows any intervention downside to cap sharp gains in rupee. If so, any dip on account of inflows should be taken as a buying opportunity amid broad dollar strength. Going ahead, India’s Industrial Production for June and CPI inflation for July will keep markets on edge especially after the RBI increased its FY22 inflation forecast to 5.7% from 5.1% earlier. Technically, for dollar-rupee pair 74.40-74.50 levels will act as an important resistance to watch for. If the pair breaks and consistently trades above 74.40-50 levels, then the rupee is most likely to move near 74.80-90 levels in the near term and then towards 75.30-75.50 levels in the medium term.

Nifty-50 settled relatively flat for the third day in a row. Nifty opened positive for the day but a rotational day capped the upsides and the downsides. The highlight for the day was that the gap area between 16,162-16,188 held as a support and bounce in Nifty came from this zone. We usually see a gap area when tested acts as a support zone. The underlying action in Nifty remains positive. Lack of any sustained selling after a sharp rise does point out latent buying at lower levels. MACD and directional movement are in a positive buy mode.

Nifty needs a punch above the weekly R3 pivot for the rally to move towards 16,500 and higher in the days to come. The Gap area will act as a support. A break below 16,150 may result in a drop to 16,000-15,950 another crucial buying area. Price action in Nifty suggests a buy on declines market condition. Let us see how long bear will be able to resist an inevitable upside in Nifty.
