NEW DELHI – Shares of Tata Motors rose sharply in the cash market today as the wholesale volumes for the company’s luxury arm Jaguar Land Rover witnessed strong year-on-year growth in the December quarter. Traders also added some bullish bets in the options segment of the stock, suggesting that some more gains are likely for shares of Tata Motors in the coming sessions.
As wholesale volumes for the company’s arm Jaguar Land Rover rose 15% on year in Oct-Dec due to a gradual improvement in chip supplies, it managed to fuel over 7% gains in the stock in the cash market.
The strong gains in the cash market also prompted traders to exit their positions across in-the-money strike price call options of 360-410 rupees, which reflects little hopes of a trend reversal in the stock.
Consequently, fresh positions were added across out-of-the-money strike price call options, which lifted premiums across these contracts. The call options of 430-rupee strike price garnered the maximum addition of open interest as traders bet on hopes of the stock testing this level in the near future.
Even though the stock managed to eke out strong gains today, the upward momentum is likely to be refuelled only after upside levels around 430-440-rupees are surpassed, said Ratnesh Goyal, senior technical and derivatives analyst, Arihant Capital Markets.
Until those levels are crossed, profit booking cannot be ruled out, Goyal said. In such a scenario, he also believes that the downside for the stock will be restricted by a strong support that will come in near the 400-380-rupee zone.
His view was also substantiated by put options data wherein the 400-rupee strike price contract not only held the highest open interest but also garnered the maximum addition of fresh positions.
Today, shares of Tata Motors ended over 6% higher at 412.90 rupees.
As for the Nifty 50, analysts expect the rangebound trend to continue until the index manages to break free out of its range of 17800-18200 points on either side. Only a decisive move on either side can result in a strong directional move for the Nifty 50, analysts said.
The sentiment in the market will also continue to be “sell-on-rise” as long as the index hovers below its psychologically important level of 18000 points.
Today, the headline Nifty 50 ended 1% lower at 17914.15 points.
