Markets Ahead

A green candle, powered by the U.S market. 

Yesterday U.S markets opened with a gap down of 1%.  But they ended the day well in the green, fueled by a strong recovery.

For the last many days, global markets were weak, but we performed well till last Tuesday. Today’s greenery is fully powered by U.S markets and this is where the trap hides. If we start depending on global markets, we may lose trending movement and will fall into volatility.

Today, the Nifty opened the day above the resistance line, and buying happened. But day candle says that we are having strong rejection from 17,900 levels. But if we are depending on local cues, we have a lot of positivity. 

Bank Nifty is above 41k again and also this is the highest day candle close ever. If Bank Nifty breaks out above its all-time high, Nifty's 17,900 and 18k resistances will be gone.

HDFC Bank is preparing for an amazing breakout. It closed above two resistance again, 1500 and 1515. The path will be easy if 1528 and 1540 resistances are cleared.

FinNifty also closed well, taking support from 18,600. On the upper side, we will be watching 18,840 and 18,910 levels as resistance.

Fed interest rate decision will be out tomorrow and let’s be prepared for volatile days.
