COMMENT:: Inflation data likely to provide market direction

"The weakness in global indices continued to weigh down the domestic indices with every up move. The market is looking for fresh triggers for a direction, and the release of US and Indian inflation data may provide a near-term direction in the market. The investor's focus will be shifted to the earnings season, on a sequential basis, the earnings growth is likely to be lower, while the expectations for auto, capital goods, and cement will remain strong."

VIEW:: Look to buy Nifty in the 21,550 - 21,600 range

"The Nifty index bounced back strongly from its important support at 21,500, indicating that the bulls are quite active at this level. The Nifty closed at 21,623, near its resistance. If it manages to close above 21,700-21,750 levels, we might see the Nifty reaching 22,000. For those looking to buy Nifty, the recommended range is between 21,550-21,600. Set a stop loss at 21,480 and aim for a target of 21,750."

VIEW:: Bank Nifty needs needs to conquer 47,500 to initiate short-covering

"The Bank Nifty index experienced a volatile trading session on the day of weekly expiry, but the bulls successfully defended the crucial support level of 47,000. Despite this, the overall market sentiment remains in "sell on rise" mode. The immediate hurdle for the index is at 47,500, where the highest open interest is concentrated on the call side. To initiate a short-covering move and potentially target the 48,000 mark, the index needs to convincingly surpass the level of 47,500 on a closing basis."
