The Monthly Profile is a Neutral Extreme One to the downside with couple of SOCs (Scene Of Crime) levels at 19479 & 19333 with the help of which it has moved away from a larger timeframe 4-month balance Nifty had been forming since July 2023 and will be the important upside references for the coming month whereas on the downside, the longer term buying extension handle of 18886 which was tested and successfully defended for now as can be seen in form of a buying tail from 18926 to 18837 will be the zone to watch out for below which the auction could continue towards Jun’s monthly VPOC of 18707 & VAL of 18609 as immediate objectives along with May’s extension handle of 18459 & VPOC of 18270 as the extended targets. Value for the current month is at 19313-19537-19846 with the series VWAP closing at 19468 which matches with the higher SOC level of 19479 mentioned above and will serve as the Swing reference for the bulls to be back in November with the 4-month composite POC of 19542 being a minor hurdle on the upside for a rise back to 19792 levels.

Week 1

BankNifty opened the month with an A period selling tail from 44435 to 44566 on 03rd Oct and continued to probe lower for the first 2 sessions negating the lower FA of 44182 and almost tagging previous month’s low of 43830 while making a low of 43857 on 04th Oct but seemed like inventory had gotten too short as it left back to back ‘b’ shape profiles on the daily timeframe which triggered a short covering move back to 44500 as the first week gave a Double Distribution type of profile with a nice balance at the top with a close right at the prominent weeky POC of 44364

Week 3

Week 3 started with the continuation of the balance on the first day but then left an important signal by means of an initiative selling tail from 44544 to 44589 on 17th Oct that it wants to move away from previous week’s POC of 44597 and more confirmation of this came through a Double Distribution Trend Day Down on 18th where BankNifty left a selling extension handle just above previous month’s VAL of 44152 displaying that it now wants to probe lower which it did for the rest of the week while making similar lows of 44558 & 44567 forming a Trend Down week with mostly lower Value and the weekly POC shifting lower to 43733

Week 4

The auction started the fourth week with a balance around 43733 for most part of the day on 23rd Oct while building volumes slightly lower at 43655 but left a late extension handle at 43583 marking entry of fresh aggressive selling leading to a drop of over 500 points as it made a low of 43029 and continued this downmove after a brief balance on the 25th where it left another extension handle at 43114 forming yet another DD down while making new lows for the month at 42758 and this imbalance continued on 26th Oct with a Drive Down and an One Time Frame probe lower till the E period where it tagged the April 2023 monthly VPOC of 42193 while making a low of 42105 and saw profit booking by the sellers as it formed a ‘b’ shape profile with the dPOC down at 42216
