SGX NIFTY is trading at 18,685 indicating a flat opening.

RBI interest rate decision was the highlight yesterday. We saw the chart pattern almost repeating by moving up and then falling. There was a hike of 35 basis points. There was no change made for inflation projection, which is at 6.7%. However, GDP growth rate was brought down to 6.8% from 7%.
We should note that our projections are still higher than most economies despite this downward revision. The hawkish tone is what led to the negative sentiments in the market yesterday. Still you can see that market is consolidating only, without a major single-day fall.
The red candle formed yesterday engulfed the previous candle and this is a sign of negativity. But you should also consider the fact that it was a steep rally and big moves can be followed by big pull-backs. Swing points have to be protected. 18,600 should have acted as support but the major level is 18,400.
Putin is escalating the situation with comments citing the possibility of a much lengthy war. He also mentioned 'nuclear war' in the speech whereas the US slammed by calling it loose talk.
There was a huge put OI build-up very close to the spot when the week started and the option sellers kept adjusting the positions. Let us see how this impacts expiry. We can expect volatility towards the end and it is always better to get out of the market before 3 PM move if you are an option seller.
Let us finally talk about the elephant in the room; Gujarat Elections. BJP is leading in 120+ seats and this is in line with the expectations. Let us see if there is a change in the lead-status during the market hours.
I will be closely watching 18,600 on the upside and 18,500 on the downside in NIFTY.
