09:17 PM Nifty may spend some time in the 11,433-11,036 range, before witnessing a directional move.The index can see strength on a close above the 11,433 level.In that scenario, it can initially extend the upswing up to 11,536.On the downside, it looks crucial for the index to defend the ascending trendline, which is in progress from the October 2018 lows of 10,004, whose support for the next trading session is placed around 11,080 – Mazhar Mohammad, Chartviewindia.in
09:17 PM Wall St jumps after Biden’s Super Tuesday surge Healthcare stocks boosted Wall Street on Wednesday after a near sweep for Joe Biden in the Super Tuesday Democratic primaries, a day after markets suffered heavy losses following an emergency interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.The benchmark S&P 500 rose for the second time in 10 sessions, bolstered by Biden’s return to front-runner status in the U.S.Democratic presidential nomination campaign over self-declared socialist Bernie Sanders.09:16 PM Nifty is likely to witness another round of selling near the 11,300 mark.The price action over the past couple of sessions has resulted in a Popgun Pattern formation on the daily chart.

Thus, boundaries of the pattern i.e.11,036 and 11,433, will be key levels to watch out for – Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Sharekhan
09:15 PM Wednesday’s weakness has not nullified last session’s upside bounce.

The upside resistance for Nifty is placed at 11,350-400.A crucial support stands at 11,100 level – Nagaraj Shetti, HDFC Securities
08:40 PM Can RBI rate cut revive market sentiment? 07:24 PM Nifty formed a Hammer kind of candle on the daily chart, signalling buying interest at lower levels.Currently, the index is hovering around its key support at the rising trend line, which also coincides with the 78.60 per cent retracement level of the previous rally from 10,637 to 12,430 levels.Now, the index needs to decisively move above 11,333 level for a pullback towards 11,433 and 11,500 levels.On the down side, support exists at 11,111 and then 11,035 levels – Chandan Taparia, Technical & Derivative Analyst, MOFSL
04:37 PM Nifty has support at 10,925 level, while a breach of 11,400 on the higher side can trigger short covering.We believe this correction is a very attractive opportunity for investors to accumulate stocks as the structural uptrend is intact.

Metal and private banking stocks are attractive at current levels – Sahaj Agrawal, Head of Research- Derivatives, Kotak Securities
04:37 PM Fresh virus cases reported in India overshadowed monetary easing by the US Fed.Despite mixed global cues, the domestic market took a hit fuelled by weakness in metals, banks and auto stocks.Short term tremors due to virus could be felt across the globe including Indian indices but for the long term, the impact looks limited – Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Servies
04:35 PM Market continued to face high levels of volatility and was unable to sustain gains.Only a close above 11,350 will bring back some near term pullback hopes.

The 10,900-11,000 zone continues to remain an important support from where Nifty had bounced back once.On the upside, 11,550 is likely to act as a stiff resistance zone.Fresh positional shorts should be avoided, as the index is quite oversold and near the important support zone.Support is at 11,000-10,900 zone and resistance is in 11,350-11,550 range – Amit Shah, Technical Research Analyst, Indiabulls Securities
04:33 PM Markets settled with a cut of nearly half a per cent amid volatility, in continuation of a prevailing corrective phase.

The recent surge in the coronavirus cases outside China has spooked investor sentiment across the globe thus the monetary measures by various central banks are going unnoticed.Markets are currently witnessing roller-coaster ride and we do not see this ending anytime soon.Traders have no option but to align their trades accordingly and prefer hedged bets – Ajit Mishra, VP – Research, Religare Broking
