Nifty Analysis EOD – February 1, 2026 – Sunday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – February 1, 2026 – Sunday 🔴 STT Shockwave: Nifty’s 800-Point Budget Bloodbath! 🗞 Nifty Summary Budget-26 delivered a session of extreme emotional turbulence and unprecedented volatility. The market’s movement today can be categorized into three distinct phases: 1. Pre-Budget (The Calm): Until 10:00 AM, Nifty remained in a disciplined 95-point range. A breakout of the HTF Trendline and IBH saw the index climb steadily toward resistance levels at 25,370 and 25,430. 2. During Budget (The Confusion): After marking the day’s high, the index began to slip. The sentiment turned sour following the announcement of an STT (Securities Transaction Tax) rise. Initially, options premiums remained subdued as the market processed the news. 3. Post-Budget (The Chaos): After 11:55 AM, the floodgates opened. A massive manipulation candle at 12:05 PM triggered aggressive long unwinding and fresh short build-ups. Amidst a vacuum of buyers and rampant panic, Nifty plummeted 800 points (3.15%) in just 25 minutes, crashing from 25,370 to a floor of 24,571.75. An immediate V-shaped recovery retraced back to 25,120, but the strength was fleeting. The index eventually gave back 400 points of that recovery to close at 24,770. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart with Levels 🛡 Intraday Walk Today was not a day for the faint-hearted. The 12:05 PM candle will go down in history as a “liquidity vacuum” where the absence of buyers led to a vertical freefall. The V-shape recovery was purely a product of profit-booking and high-risk bottom fishing, but the final close below 24,800 indicates that the market is still reeling from the tax implications. We are now in a “no-man’s land” technically; we must wait for the dust to settle before building a fresh structural view. 📉 Daily Time Frame Chart with Intraday Levels ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 254.37 IB Range: 104..20 → Medium Market Structure: Balanced Trade Highlights: 10:11 Long Trade: Target Hit (1:2.47) (HTF Trendline Breakout). 11:08 Long Trade: SL Hit (R1 Breakout attempt failed as news leaked). 12:01 Short Trade: SL Hit (Initial IBL breakdown whipsaw). 12:15 Short Trade: Trailing Target Hit (1:4.36) (The “Big One” — IBL + PPDL Breakdown). Trade Summary: The morning provided a clean winner, but the mid-day news shift resulted in a choppy period. However, the strategy excelled during the panic; the 12:15 PM short entry captured the meat of the 800-point fall, delivering a massive 1:4.36 R:R that turned a difficult day into a highly profitable one. 🧠 Final Thoughts “Panic has no logic, and neither does a 3% fall in 25 minutes.” The Budget has fundamentally altered the playing field. The STT news was the catalyst for a structural reset. For now, there is nothing next but to wait. We need the index to find a new equilibrium and for the weekly expiry to clear the “bad blood” from the system. Stay away from the noise, protect your capital, and let the market settle. ✏️ Disclaimer This is just my personal viewpoint. Always consult your financial advisor before taking any action.

SASOL (SOL)- JSEPrice has recently struggled near key resistance levels and is showing signs of slowdown after multiple attempts to push higher, which could signal a short-term pullback to structural support zones. 📌 Summary This idea assumes a temporary pullback first, offering a “buy low” opportunity ahead of a larger upside continuation. The trade plan doesn’t chase short-term strength — it anticipates a measured retracement into strong technical support before committing capital.

31.01.26 Price action Recap BTCUSD (ICT Method)I can see a recent low, 2 fair value gaps, an OrderBlock and the previous days' high. These matter because Price has just expanded lower. What I hope to see, or rather how I hope to see price retrace bullishly depends largely on what she does next. There are two possible scenarios: - Price could retrace immediately with shallow moves and then expand lower into my weekly point of interest. - Price could take out the most recent low it created in the form of a stop hunt, rally and then retrace into a point of interest and head for the fair value gap. The third scenario is that I'm wrong and price will just expand into my weekly point of interest without retracing to the 4H fair value gap. Let's see. Cheers.

USDCHF: impulse completed, corrective wave in progressUSDCHF remains under pressure amid demand for safe-haven currencies and expectations of a softer Fed stance. The Swiss franc continues to attract defensive flows, keeping the broader bias bearish. The current price action reflects liquidity redistribution after a strong downside impulse. From a technical and Elliott Wave perspective, the market has completed a bearish impulse wave (3), sweeping liquidity below local lows. The current consolidation near the weak low suggests the development of a corrective wave (4). The primary scenario expects a corrective rebound toward the 0.8065 – 0.8380 supply zone, aligned with prior structure and EMA resistance. Once wave (4) is complete, a continuation lower in wave (5) is expected. A deeper correction is possible, but the bearish structure remains intact below 0.84–0.85.

Nifty Analysis EOD – January 30, 2026 – Friday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – January 30, 2026 – Friday 🔴 The Calm Before the Storm: Nifty Coils for Budget-26! 🗞 Nifty Summary As predicted, Friday was a “silent” consolidation session characterized by narrow range-bound movement and pre-event manipulation. The day started with an unexpected 150-point Gap Down that tested our second support at 25,270. Nifty found its footing at the Fib 0.786 level, which acted as a rock-solid floor throughout the day. A late-session attempt to break the IBH and the Long-Term Trendline at 1:50 PM briefly crossed the 25,335 mark, but the momentum faded precisely at the Fib 0.618 retracement level. Nifty eventually closed at 25,320.65 (-0.39%), positioning itself exactly in the center of a high-stakes 700-point battlefield. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart with Levels 🛡 Intraday Walk The session was a classic “wait-and-watch” game. The 157-point range—significantly lower than the Gladiator average of 260—confirms that institutional players are sitting on the sidelines ahead of Sunday’s Budget. While the intraday volatility offered some scalp opportunities, the false IBH breakout served as a trap for those over-anticipating the move. The market is now balanced on a knife-edge, with the daily close sitting equidistant from major targets on both sides. 📉 Daily Time Frame Chart with Intraday Levels 🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown Open: 25,247.55 High: 25,370.70 Low: 25,213.65 Close: 25,320.65 Change: -98.25 (-0.39%) 🏗️ Structure Breakdown Type: Small Bullish Candle according CDO (Bearish according to PDC) Range: ≈ 157 points — significantly compressed volatility. Body: ≈ 73 points — mild selling pressure from the gap-up rejection. (Same size of Previous day) Upper Wick: ≈ 123 points — strong supply rejection from the 25,370 zone. Lower Wick: ≈ 34 points — limited buying interest at the extreme lows. 📚 Interpretation The candle structure is the definition of indecision. The long upper wick proves that sellers are still capping any pre-emptive rallies, while the narrow body reflects a lack of directional conviction. The market has effectively “coiled,” and this compression usually leads to a violent expansion once the Budget news hits the tape. 🕯 Candle Type Bearish Rejection / Consolidation Candle — Signals a standoff; the Budget session will be the ultimate tie-breaker for this structure. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 254.37 IB Range: 104..20 → Medium Market Structure: Balanced Trade Highlights: 12:23 Long Trade: SL Hit (Mistake: Assumed HTF break based on STF trend; recency bias). 13:54 Long Trade: Trailing Hit (1:0.76) (HTF Trendline Breakout). Psychology Note: As explicitly mentioned in yesterday’s note, today was intended to be a “No-Trade” day due to expected pre-event consolidation. However, greed and recency bias triggered entries in a non-conducive environment. The market punished the mistake, providing a stern reminder that discipline is more important than catching every tick. 🧱 Support & Resistance Levels Resistance Zones: 25,370 25,430 ~ 25,460 25,515 25585 ~ 25605 25650 ~ 25,670 Support Zones: 25180 ~ 25160 25,060 25009 24970 ~ 24920 🧠 Final Thoughts 🧠 Special Budget-26 Note : The Nifty has closed at 25,320, which is exactly the center point between the 25,670 resistance and the 24,970 support (350 points each way). For the Budget day, it is highly probable that Nifty will test at least one of these extremes. A sustained breach of the 25,160–25,460 range will be our “Prime Trade” signal. ✏️ Disclaimer This is just my personal viewpoint. Always consult your financial advisor before taking any action.

Axis Bank Ltd (NSE) – Bullish Continuation SetupTimeframe: Daily Trend Bias: Bullish Current Price: ~₹1,370 Technical Overview Axis Bank is trading in a strong uptrend, respecting higher highs and higher lows. Price has recently broken above a consolidation range and is sustaining above the key Fibonacci 0.382 retracement zone, indicating strength and acceptance at higher levels. The structure suggests a bullish continuation rather than exhaustion, with momentum favoring buyers as long as price holds above the breakout base. Key Levels (as per chart) Immediate Support: ₹1,325 – ₹1,335 (Fibonacci base & prior range high) Secondary Support: ₹1,285 – ₹1,270 (demand zone / value area) Immediate Resistance: ₹1,395 – ₹1,405 (Fibonacci -0.382 to -0.618 zone) Major Target: ₹1,590 – ₹1,600 (measured move / higher timeframe projection) Trade Plan Bullish Scenario (Preferred): Entry: Buy on dips near ₹1,335–₹1,350 or on a decisive daily close above ₹1,395 Targets: T1: ₹1,440 T2: ₹1,520 T3: ₹1,590+ Bearish Invalidation: A daily close below ₹1,315 would weaken the bullish structure and may lead to a deeper retracement towards ₹1,285. Indicator Confluence Volume: Expansion visible during the recent breakout, confirming participation Momentum (RSI/Trend strength): Positive and trending upward, no bearish divergence Market Structure: Clean breakout + retest behavior Conclusion Axis Bank remains structurally bullish on the daily timeframe. As long as price holds above the ₹1,315–₹1,325 zone, the probability favors further upside toward ₹1,590+. Traders should focus on pullback entries or breakout confirmation for optimal risk-reward. ⚠️ This is a technical view only. Not financial advice.

XAUUSD M15 – Corrective Pullback Within DowntrendXAUUSD is analyzed on the 15-minute timeframe (M15). The broader market context remains bearish as price continues to trade below the EMA200, indicating that the dominant trend is still to the downside. The EMA ribbon is sloping downward, reinforcing bearish momentum in the current structure. Following a strong impulsive move lower, price has entered a pullback phase. This pullback shows corrective characteristics rather than a trend reversal, as price remains capped below previous structure and dynamic EMA resistance. Price is currently reacting within a resistance zone that aligns with prior structure and EMA resistance. The rejection from this area suggests that selling pressure is still present and that the pullback may be nearing completion. Further downside continuation will depend on how price behaves around this resistance area and whether bearish structure remains intact. This idea is shared for technical and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
