RELIANCE’s Downturn and the Road to Recovery: Key Support Levels to Watch
“As we analyzed on August 20th, a print of 1442 on cash was needed to confirm a strong breakout in RELIANCE. The stock was rejected from the 1431 level, creating a new low below its early August low.
The next critical support is now the 1280 to 1320 zone on cash, from which a powerful rally can unfold. Today is a key cycle date, and a sustained move above today’s intraday high would signal a return to stability. Monitor this closely, because RELIANCE’s trajectory is crucial for NIFTY’s overall direction.”

Market at a Crossroads: Tariffs Are Not the Problem
It’s an interesting time in the market, but we maintain that the current decline is not driven by the recent tariff news. We typically don’t see the market fall twice on the same catalyst, and the 50% tariff news has been known since early August. This information should already be fully digested. The real reason for the downturn is the persistent weakness in banking stocks.
Regarding the tariff issue, we believe these tariffs will be rolled back by President Trump sometime in September. It is highly unlikely that these 50% rates will be sustained for a significantly long period of time.
Near-Term Consolidation, Long-Term Bullish View Intact
As I updated on Tuesday, the near-term setup has shifted from extremely bullish to a more cautious stance. We now anticipate a period of consolidation, but a reversal is due sooner rather than later. In a normal scenario, we do not expect NIFTY to break below its August 8th low of 24337 on a spot basis. Our long-term view remains a fresh record high above 26277 until October 16th, which leaves plenty of time for this target to be achieved.
If, for any reason, the August 8th low of 24337 is broken, we would expect a quick downside extension. However, even this dip would present a strong buying opportunity. When analyzing markets, the relationship between price and time is paramount. This is a core tenet of our analysis.
For instance, the rally from 24337 to 25153 took exactly 12 calendar days (including one trading holiday). This duration is a key factor.
If the low of 24337 breaks before September 3rd (the 12th calendar day from the August 21st high), it would be a bearish signal.
However, if the low breaks after September 3rd, it would be a bullish confirmation, and in that scenario, we would aggressively buy all dips for a December expiry.
Watch for a Major Time Cycle
Finally, a critical data point: On August 29th, NIFTY is scheduled to complete a 144-day cycle from its April 7th low. This is a significant development on the time-cycle front that we will be watching closely.
“To wrap up, the crucial test for this market will be how it reacts around the August 8th low and the coming time cycle dates. We maintain our long-term targets, and look for a strong buying opportunity on any further dips.”

INDIANBANK: September’s Cycle and the Road Ahead
INDIANBANK is in a medium-term uptrend. In the short term, it has strong support between ₹640 and ₹660, making any dip into this zone an ideal entry opportunity. The stock is currently in a sideways trend, and a near-term rally to ₹703 and ₹733 will only happen if it breaks above ₹685.”
Looking at our time cycle analysis, September is a crucial month. It marks the completion of a major cycle rotation on the monthly charts from the June 2024 high.”

The Waiting Game: Why Patience Is Key for SBI Investors
At times, as an analyst, you feel that enough is enough. And when we look at SBI, we experience that same feeling. Despite multiple attempts, we never got any sort of trade here. The trigger points which we discussed never broke on either side. But we will keep trying, and hopefully this time it should go through. As we speak, the setup is bullish here, but we would still prefer to wait until the stock takes out 856 on the upside. Once that’s done, we would then anticipate a rally toward 897 and 928 on a cash basis on the upside, and maybe even more than that. But for now, we would restrict ourselves until then. On the time cycle front, as long as the stock sustains above the August 11th intraday high, the setup is bullish, and it’s just a matter of time before 856 is taken out on the upside.
