Day trading strategy for stock market today
Speaking on intraday trading tips for Monday session, Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, “We expect choppy movement to continue for the short term. At the lower levels 17,900 to 17,800 could be a support for the market and one may expect upside bounce from the lows. At the same time the upper area of 18,150 to 18,200 is expected to be a stiff resistance in the near term.”
“The global handover indicates a positive set-up for the domestic markets at the beginning of the current week. Nifty remains strongly supported by the key 17,800 mark, even as it braces for heightened volatility in the near term with eyes on the two key events-Union Budget and the US Fed’s policy meet outcome,” said market expert Sugandha Sachdeva. She went on to add that risk-on sentiments are likely to improve as markets are anticipating the US Fed to slow the pace of rate hikes amid a string of downbeat economic data released last week which indicate that a sharp reversal in interest rates last year has started to cause damage to the economy. This largely underscores persistent pressure on the dollar index, languishing at a multi-month low.
“On Friday, the Bank Nifty showed a good outperformance compared to Nifty. A follow up move above 42,700 could set a good momentum in this index for the short term,” said Ruchit Jain, Lead Research at 5paisa.com.
