Follow up on last Idea - Bank Nifty Reversal at 51404?

Critical level - 50939 intact

Our last suggestion to sell BankNifty below 51404 was spot on, as we witnessed a 200-250 point drop during the session. However, the decline didn’t seem convincing from the highs of 51404, suggesting that new highs could still be possible as long as 50939, the critical level, remains intact.

Recent developments

On 29th August 2024, the index opened near 51000, reaching a precise low of 51028, which we marked as Wave C. Holding 50939 critical level, we saw one push towards recent highs, reaching 51369, which we marked as Wave D. Later, Wave-E unfolded as sharp leg but again holding critical level 50939.

Heading for Final Leg Upside Above 51404

What to expect next?

Holding 50939: If BankNifty manages to hold above 50939, expect the bulls to regain control, potentially driving the index beyond 51404, with new highs on the horizon.
Breaking 50939: Should the index fail to sustain above 50939, traders should brace for further downside. This break could signal the end of the current bullish wave structure which started from the lows of 49659 / 49654 -double bottoms between 6th & 14th Aug 2024 respectively.

Key levels to watch

Immediate Support Test: Monitor the behavior around 50939 closely in the upcoming sessions.
Potential Upside: If 50939 holds, look for upside momentum as we approach the first week of September 2024.

This is a pivotal moment for BankNifty. Stay alert and be ready to adjust your positions based on the critical 50939 level.

EUR/USD holds losses below 1.1850 ahead of FOMC Minutes

EUR/USD stays on the back foot below 1.1850 in the European session on Wednesday, pressured by renewed US Dollar demand and reports that ECB President Lagarde will step down before the end of her term. Traders now look forward to the Minutes of the Fed's January monetary policy meeting for fresh signals on future rate cuts.

GBP/USD defends 1.3550 after UK inflation data

GBP/USD is holding above 1.3550 in Wednesday's European morning, little changed following the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release. The UK inflation eased as expected in January, reaffirming bets for a March BoE interest rate cut, especially after Tuesday's weak employment report.

Gold retains bullish bias amid Fed rate cut bets, ahead of Fed Minutes

Gold sticks to modest intraday gains through the early European session, reversing a major part of the previous day's heavy losses of more than 2%, to the $4,843-4,842 region or a nearly two-week low. That said, the fundamental backdrop warrants caution for bulls ahead of the FOMC Minutes, which will look for more cues about the US Federal Reserve's rate-cut path.

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far. The steady recovery is supported by a short-term pause in mainnet migration, which reduces pressure on the PI token supply for Centralized Exchanges. The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.
