What to Expect Today?

Asian markets are trading in the red.

The U.S. Futures are trading flat.

GIFT NIFTY is trading in slight red at 22,119.

All the factors combined indicate a flat to gap-down opening in the market.

Foreign Institutional Investors net-sold shares worth Rs -285.15 crores. Domestic Institutional Investors net-sold shares worth Rs 5 crores.

INDIA VIX jumped to 15.6.

It looks like the markets are looking to consolidate after the crazy bullishness of the previous 2 weeks. The U.S. and India’s GDP numbers are also something that the market is looking at.

Because the Federal Reserve is not cutting interest rates immediately, everyone wants to know if the economy can still grow under these conditions. There are some important speeches from Fed members too.

FINNIFTY traders can expect the index to trade between 20,500 and 20,650, with more risk expected on the downside. But since VIX continues to be high, option sellers can play it more safe with further strikes. Optimise for profitability.

NIFTY closed the day exactly around the earlier all-time high of 22,125. GIFT NIFTY is showing a flat opening, so I would not be surprised if we see a bounce back up every time the market falls to yesterday’s lows. There is currently not much bearishness, but mostly consolidation in the market.

Watch for 22,000 - 22,200 in NIFTY for a larger direction this week.
