Only 1 major reason is that FII's have stopped selling as they used to do before. Since the day BJP has won elections FII's have sold very less compared to before. In some situations they have bought as well. This is what is keeping the markets resilient. Bank Nifty would be under serious pressure as long as crude prices keep rising. Inflation also is a big worry as commodity prices keep going higher. Another factor Is the global markets rally. U.S markets are also above 200 DM

Right now Dow futures and Asian markets are higher. SGX Nifty is flat near yesterday closing. Yesterday was a fantastic rally in our markets. It was a stable Market and a slow and steady rally. This was due to major contribution by HDFC group stocks. Both HDFC and HDFC Bank led yesterday's rally. Mid caps were underperforming throughout the day  It was the large caps which kept Nifty in check. We have fed meeting on Thursday and that's why U.S markets are jittery. Because of higher Inflation , FED is expected to increase rates. This is leading to a fear in the markets. Yesterday india VIX kept inching higher. It was higher throughout the day.

Right now as dow figures are positive , SGX Nifty is flat  U.S VIX fell on Friday as well  Expecting India VIX to go below 25 today. As I had predicted , Market to be volatile between 16400 to 16800. Thursday and Friday have passed and we have been trading in this range. Big trend and momentum will develop only once we cross either of these levels. Until then , expecting ranging Market within this range  15750 to 16750 rally in 2 days can be termed as pullback as of now  I don't see it as a trend reversal yet. 16900 is the 200 DMA and only once we cross this level will the trend become positive.

India VIX was down 12% at one point of time yesterday. Yesterday U.S Inflation data was out. Inflation data was as per expectation but core CPI data came higher. This triggered a huge sell off in first hour. Second hour the Market recovered half of its losses. More significantly , U.S VIX crashed 7% yesterday.

U.S Markets closed higher yesterday. Asian markets were higher yesterday. Right now Dow futures & Asian markets are mixed. SGX Nifty is up 300 points. Yesterday we had a fantastic rally all over the World. All the World Markets have rallied heavily. All the markets on an average are up 3-5%. We also had participated in the same yesterday. War fears are declining and a compromise arrangement is being made  This is cooling off all the commodity stocks  Plus pumping in fresh liquidity. Today we have expiry plus we have election results. Both these events will bring in huge Volatility into the Markets 16800 is a very important resistance. Until this gets taken off I will look to sell rallies. Everything is not good yet and Inflation and rate hike is still round the corner. These could be relief rallies and Market could be normal after the same. Today's action totally depends on the election verdict. VIX crashed 4% yesterday. If results come pro Market then expecting it

U.S Markets were significantly higher yesterday at one point of time. But it closed lower. There's a saying , Amateurs open the Market and professionals close it. Yesterday this significance got realised. Right now Dow futures are slightly higher. SGX Nifty is down 70 points near 15920. Yesterday we had quite a volatile day but we closed at the highest point of the day. There was a fantastic short covering rally at the end. There's news floating around that Ukraine no longer insisting on NATO membership. Which is a good sign . This War is goes on more further will prove highly costly to all the interested parties. Commodity prices are shooting up like no tomorrow. This will shoot up inflation and govertments will ne forced to wage the War. Still if Ego comes between then it's difficult to say  DII's for the first time have been very tough fight to FII's and they have been buying in huge quantities as well. LIC IPO is round the corner. So there might be G

U.S Markets crashed Yesterday. Right now Dow futures are slightly higher. SGX Nifty is at 15750. Asian markets are mixed. Yesterday we had exit poll results. Exit Poll results cannot be trusted with 100% accuracy. In the past as well many of the times exit Poll results have gone wrong. Majority exit Poll show that BJP is likely to win UP again. This is a positive news for stock market. In Bearish times markets don't react to good news but react to bad news  15800 is a very important support on Nifty. Last year Market made a consolidation of 3 Months near 15800-16000 and then broke out. So technically it becomes a very important support this time as well  If this breaks then 15500 -14800 open up. The falls will be equally fierce as the rallies. Market did rally one way and now falls will also be one way. Right now we have crude oil shock impact as well. Crude Oil has shot up to 130-140$ / barrel. In history I've observed , whenever crude oil stays higher Nifty always

U.S Markets closed lower on Friday. Right now Dow futures are down by more than a percent. Asian Markets are all trading negative. SGX Nifty is at 15800. Russia - Ukraine fears are not easing yet. It's 12th day of the War and still we do not have any chance of compromise nor settling down. This uncertainty creates panic selling amongst the crowd. That's what is happening right now. I won't be surprised to see Nifty below 15k by March end. March would be the worst month for stock market. We have exit poll results as well. Positive exit poll results would make Market stable. Negative results would inch market lower  VIX above 30 is a big problem. VIX went above 30 on 2 occasions. Corona Virus and Lehmann brother collapse time . As soon as it went above 30 it shot up to 84-86. Markets made lower circuits and then bottomed out. Right now the possibility of it happening exists. If you are a skilled trader you can benefit through this Volatility. If not better to stay

U.S Markets closed lower yesterday. Right now Dow futures are down. Asian Markets are all trading lower. Reason of such negative sentiment is due to the above . SGX Nifty is now at 16250. Many including me thought Russia Ukraine War was a one off event. Negotiations would happen and finally everything would come at peace. But right now that's not the case. This doesn't seem to end anytime soon. The more the attack goes on the more likely war fears are going to escalate. Even if this War subsides we still have many other issues. Inflation, Interest rate hike being the major of them. We are likely to open below 16400 as SGX Nifty is suggesting. The next immediate support is at 16200. This was the low we made on Feb 24th Expiry day. If 16200 is taken out then downside remains open. As I've been suggesting from lot of time that this is a sell on rally Market. Use rallies to short the Market. Bull Market is history. We havent entered into Bear terrian yet

U.S Markets closed higher yesterday. Right now Dow futures are slightly lower. SGX Nifty is almost flat. U.S Market is making wild swings on almost daily basis. Because of the same we are also having huge Volatility. Option buyers can enjoy from Friday to Tuesday. Option sellers come into the picture on Wednesday. This is how one needs to function in the current Market. Yesterday there were reports that second peace talks between Russia & Ukraine were to be held yesterday. We currently do not know how much they have been successful. Another major development was Fed rate hike in March. Because of this ongoing War , commodity prices are expected to rise and shoot up even further. This will push Inflation a lot higher than what has been expected. Yesterday the Fed chairman gave indications that they are on track to increase the rates in March. We have our own worries regarding a giant IPO which is underway. Government won't back off with the IPO and they will ensure t

U.S Markets closed lower yesterday. Right now Dow futures are slightly higher. SGX Nifty is down 200+ points. This Russia - Ukraine seems to be prolong. Until this goes on , Market won't settle. Uncertainty would creep Market towards downside. Reports have been suggesting that we are going to have 2nd peace talk today. This will be going on starting from today. Slowly slowly all the countries are joining Ukraine and Russia seems to be left alone. This is a repeat situation of a break up actually. During break up , Girls have 10 other more girls with her to calm her down to make her realise life has to go on , you deserve better etc. In the Case of boys , friends just say Girl has been saved🤪. Now exactly the Boy (Russia) is standing alone without any support and this could impact Putin's mind and he could go for some frenzy options. Second option is he obeys to other countries has peace talks and ends the matter. If there is nuclear war then Market will collapse at
